The GameCube does not have built in memory. Instead, it uses {{wp|memory card}}s that hold the saved data in a "block" format. The user can move, copy, and delete data from the memory cards. These memory cards are needed to play GameCube games on [[Wii]]. The memory cards come with different memory capacities and are mainly made by third-party companies. | The GameCube does not have built in memory.
