Wii and GameCube Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, can GameCube games be played on the Wii?

Oneill · Accepted Answer

I will answer all these questions as best as I can:

YES GameCube (GC) games can be inserted into the Wii. You absolutely MUST have a GAMECUBE controller to play GC games on the Wii.

NO, you will not risk damaging or blocking or deteriorating your Wii with a GC game; an internal system allows the correct positioning of your GC disc. Conversely, you certainly cannot put a Wii game in your GC, as the format is not suitable at all. Imagine trying to mate a Bichon with a Saint Bernard??? Totally incompatible.

GC memory card REQUIRED to save GC game progress on the Wii.
Wii memory card NOT REQUIRED to save your Wii game progress on the Wii (of course) as you already have save blocks present (by the way, do you think the Wii channels are stored on what??)

For Internet via Wii, you need to synchronize the router (Wi-Fi Hotspot) by pressing a small button generally provided for this purpose on the router itself. Also, remember to check your Wii manual that everyone always sets aside; you will thus know the location of the acquisition button on the Wii, and you will need to enter your WEP key (if it's a WEP key).

There you go, I hope I have clarified several points, have fun!!!

Wii your GameCube games work on the Wii.
Except for your import games, the freeloader doesn’t work either ...
I believe there’s only one that works. But still ...
Just so you know, you will play with your GameCube controllers on your Wii, you can't use the Wiimotes to play your GC games ... That's quite a shame actually ...

kevkil77 · Answer

Hello everyone,
I see that we can play GameCube games on the Wii, but I would like to know if an adapter is required? Do I put the GC disc directly into the console like the Wii games?
Thank you for your help.

Fotombre · Answer

Yes, you can put the disc directly into the Wii without an adapter and it will take the disc just like with Wii games. After that, you do the same as if you wanted to start a Wii game in the menu, but be careful! You need a memory card to save, and there are practically none left in stores. Additionally, you need a GameCube controller (you can find one in stores under the BigBen brand), but I don't know if it works with a Wii Classic controller...

kevkil77 · Answer

Ok, thanks for your response, I'll give it a try. I have the GameCube console, so I have 2 controllers. Thanks, see you soon.

simon0559 · Answer

tfc1231 · Answer

J'ai une question : si on met un jeu Wii par exemple (Super Mario Galaxy), je peux sauvegarder sans carte mémoire ? Mais pour un jeu GameCube, il faut une carte mémoire ? Et est-ce qu'il faut l'enlever à chaque fois qu'on joue à un jeu Wii ?

Talin49 · Answer

Wii games are saved directly on the console, while GameCube games are saved on a memory card, and you can leave that card inserted when playing a Wii game. --   I am who I am and I do what I can.

bruce78 · Answer

Hello
I would like to know if you absolutely need GameCube controllers to play GC games
I believe that Wiimotes do not work
However, does the "standard" Wii controller work?
It is said on "scroegame": The "standard" controller retains all the functionalities of the GameCube controller. Does this mean that this controller works for Wii games?

Another question about the memory card? Do SD cards work for GC games or do you also need special GC memory cards?

Thank you

Moi aussi j'ai un problème avec internet. Voilà, je me recherche d'un périphérique, je le trouve puis il me demande le code. Je le tape et ça me met erreur 543… etc. Et c'est le bon code, je suis sûr, je l'ai fait des dizaines de fois. Quelqu'un peut m'expliquer comment faire ? Merci.

dorian · Answer

I have the same problem as you, so if you know how to do it, let me know, thanks.

tfc1231 · Answer

Pour être vraiment sûr, est-ce que tous les jeux GameCube vont sur la Wii, tous les jeux ? Et quelqu'un pour la connexion Internet, je trouve le périphérique mais quand je tape le code, ça me renvoie une erreur, aidez-moi s'il vous plaît.

Hi everyone, I would like to know which games I can play with the classic Wii controller. Thank you for your responses. See you!

misterfreeze258 · Answer

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to use the standard WII controller to play GameCube games (the standard controller that you use with the "purchased" virtual games on the Wii shop channel).

Another question:
-Is it easy to find a GameCube memory card in stores (video game stores, supermarkets)?

LiLi · Answer

I am asking myself exactly the same question as misterfreeze258: "I would like to know if it is possible to use the standard Wii controller to play GameCube games," considering that the standard Wii controller incorporates all the functionalities of the GameCube controller. Does this mean that this controller works for GameCube games on Wii?

sayen · Answer

Can you play with the Wiimote on a GameCube Zelda game?

tigrou60 · Answer

Yes, the Wii console was designed to accept GameCube games; you insert them just like Wii games, but you need the appropriate controllers for GameCube games. If you don't have them, you can buy them in stores from the brand Bigben, which are reasonably priced and work just as well as the Nintendo brand.

-={€VOLUTION}=- Neo · Answer

To play GameCube games on the Wii:

- The controller and memory card ports are located on the top of the Wii (Lift the flaps).

- You MUST have a GameCube controller (NONE of the Wii controllers work).

- Insert your GameCube disc like a normal Wii game.

- If you have a modchip, you can play burned GameCube games (On DVD, NOT CD) /!\ You must have the original /!\.

- Have fun!

wii player · Answer

You need the Wi-Fi key... you will find it in several stores... it’s a key that you plug into a USB port on your computer... but of course, you must have high-speed internet. Another option is if you have a router on your computer, well then you can also... the same goes for the Nintendo DS.

Hello, are you sure that GameCube games work on the Wii? Because I would like to try it on my Wii but I don't want to break it since it's not mine. Does Mario Kart from the GameCube work on the Wii?

Fabkiller113 · Answer

Hi! So for the internet connection, you need the WEP key and the SSID (it's usually the name of the modem, like Freebox, Livebox, etc.), or you can check your account; there might be some information there. After that, you do a connection test, and it should be fine.  Otherwise, here’s my question: is there any way to get a game save for a game that we don't have on Wii???

couzzz · Answer

Hello, Oneill from the GSR forum???  I have the Wii and the GameCube. On the Wii, I have DBZ3 and I would like to play it with a GameCube controller; is that possible? I tried and got no results. It seems to me that you need to initialize something like that.  In stores, they sell exactly the same controller as the GameCube but smaller; is that controller compatible with Wii games (which have the flat controller symbol on the cover)? Thanks in advance.

Me trying to play a GameCube game on my Wii always requires me to reformat my memory card and start all my games from scratch. Why?

ronaldina · Answer

yes you can but in the right part ;)

kente · Answer

Yes, GAMECUBE games can be played on the WII.

Vaitiare · Answer

Yes, they can fit, there’s a cover for the 4 controllers and usually the memory card. When you play the Wii or Nintendo, I personally never remove the memory card, even the GameCube controllers. Because when you play on the Wii, normally the controllers don’t work because you’re playing on the Wii. The same goes for the GameCube. No, you can’t play a GameCube game with a Wii controller. You can’t play Wii games on the GameCube either.

alex1000 · Answer

sam40 · Answer

Yes, GameCube games can be played on the Wii.

bilel · Answer

Of course, you need a small box on top of the console to put the GameCube controllers, then put in the disc.

le petit acro · Answer

Pour répondre à la question : yes, they can and the manette can too.

Tiiki · Answer

Apparently, you do need a memory card to save a GameCube game on the Wii, but one piece of advice: don't get a GameCube memory card, but rather a Wii/GameCube memory card that you can find on eBay or Amazon (I have one). Also, there's no need to remove the card when you're playing a Wii game. P.S.: Sorry for the late reply, you must have solved your problem by now, but I just discovered the forum this morning ^^ Also, here's my MSN address just in case; hamster-msn@live.fr
