Question about the Wii

[ch33zw1z]

I have a load of Gamecube games. If/When I purchase a Wii, is it possible to use the Gamecube games on the Wii?

As long as you have the GC controller.

Yes.

 

[Queasy]

Yes.

Gamecube controllers are compatible as well.

they are required if he's tryin to play a gamecube game but they are compatible w/ most of the VC games, which is what I believe you were trying to imply.

Do people not do the most basic of research? This was one of the huge things that the Wii was pimping - full backwards compatibility.

And kind of OT, but if you have an HDTV make sure you pick up component cables. I bought a cheap set of 3rd party cables (think they were like $10 or $15) and the difference for GC games is night and day. Smash Bros Melee looks so much better than it did on the cube at 480i.

Yep. Wii pretty much has a GC built into it. Just pop the cover and plug in controller and gane card and slide disc in the normal slot.

Wiki is great, as long as you are not using it for anything academic/life threatening
