did anyone else notice the stress they used on the number 256
"this dimension makes me 256 times stronger"
etc.

256 = 128 x 2
128 = resolution of GameCube.
Think about it.
8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit, 128 bit |

Or maybe its the creator's favorite number!
Or maybe its part of a joke since this game contains a lot of jokes. |

It's a reference to the capacities of consoles of old. The max of stuff was always 255, therefore, 256 would actually be a rolledback 1. Therefore, 1 time more powerful. |

64 + 64 = 128
128 + 128 = 256
256 cards. |

In programming, a byte (8bits) can holds 256 different values. So they could use one byte to hold the identifiers of each card. Any more cards would mean they had to use at least two bytes which would result in less space and slower access time. But, the Wii is powerful enough that it probably doesn't matter, they are just being efficient.
You can see this happen a lot in video games, especially old ones. For example, in the original Zelda, you can only have 255 rupees (0 counts as a value). In Metroid you could only have 255 missles. |
