Eek! I can't play Zelda

Before I left LA I saved my Zelda data to an SD card, which you can just stick in to the SD slot on any Wii. It’s great that Nintendo went with an open standard for their memory sticks.

The problem is that what got copied over to the SD card was the Zelda data bloc.

You can’t copy an individual Zelda savegame onto the memory card. OK, I guess that’s fair. But you can’t play a Zelda savegame directly from the SD card either. This is odd, because it means that if I want to take my Zelda game somewhere else and play it, I have to erase the Zelda saves on the new Wii before I can play.

Since I’m a nice guy, I’m not going to erase my brother’s Zelda game (he’s 20 hours in) just to play mine (only 12 hours).

So I’m going to have to wait a few week before I get to play my game again. Kind of lame.
