gamecube games on the wii

Posted by muffla

i was just wondering to play gamecube games on the wii, do you have to buy a gamecube memory card? or can you use the wii's sd/internal memory to save.

thanks in advance

Heh, I have TWO Nintendo brand GCN cards.

Gamecube games SHOULD play in progressive scan on the Wii if the game supports it, right? If that's true, then I will probably give up on trying to find a component cable for my GCN and wait till I get a Wii. Those things are 50 bucks on ebay. :( That, and Wii component cables can be bought on Ninty's store.

Quoting Proto Man: wait till I get a Wii.


When you get one tell me your code

I have THREE GCN memory cards. Take that!

Yeah, I've had no problems with any of my cards so far. (At least not any I haven't had previously.) But I didn't try Gamecube games without the Memory Cards, so it's good to know that I should keep one in.

I think it was so people who already owned a Gamecube could keep their old save files and still play their games on the Wii.

I wished that we can just use the Wii's internal memory for Gc games since some people like me who don't own a Gc (or for those people than have a Gc you guys can use the memory card that you have).
