Both should work. But just so you know, you cant actually play games off of the SD cards, you would need to transfer them to the Wii to play.

The wii one is just a normal sd card all that is special about it is that it has a sticker that says wii on it.

There is absolutely no difference between them except 1 says Nintendo on it.

Go with the cheaper one!

the way larger capacity sd cards store memory isn't compatable with the way wii stores and retrievs data. I bought an SD which was obviosly the same exact one as the wii one, but 20 bucks less.

Your best bet is a 2GB microSD card with SD card adapter.
These are cheaper than normal SD cards because they are so popular in mobile phones now.
I found a 2GB micro+adapter for 14 euro in a common shop.

any SD card works, as long as it respects the wii limit of 2GB. so the SD with 2GB and no wii tag works
