A memory card really helps if you can't beat the game in one day, because no one wants to get far in the game and turn it off,only to turn the game on the next day and have to start over from the beginning. Luckily, a memory card can change all that. It has 59 blocks on which you can save a variety of games.Unfortunately, that's only fifty-nine blocks,so you might run out of space fast,especially with sports games. But hey, it's better than nothing.
