Haha, I've been mad about such tactics as that for a LONG time, since the PS1 and N64 actually. Here's another pet peeve. What's with limiting your number of saves per card? I hate how some games prevent you from saving more than like 3 or 4 save slots even though there is PLENTY of room for more on there.
Really though, what is with games that don't let you select a slot to load from? It's nutty! All the systems do it. The XBox's games, for the most part, won't even read from the memory card during play. You have to copy the files to the hard disk and THEN you can use them. I really wish they would put some extra work into it.
However, at least they have copy/move on the GCN. The N64 had a glaring error in memory card design that kept you from moving or copying saved data at ALL (unless you used little cheap tricks like I did, starting new save files on the card, loading your up to date data on one, switching, then saving that way).
It's really annoying, I must say.
