	Log in to remove this sponsored message I can't play any GameCube games on my wii. I only want to play 2 to 3 games, so I don't want to buy an older wii, or a GameCube. Are there any ways i could play gc games on my new (horizontal) wii?

Don't be offended when I ask this, but I just got a sinking feeling in my gut that by new Wii you mean a Wii U... ------------------- Please, join the caption contest...

	Or Wii Mini. Either way, these systems aren't supposed to play Gamecube games. ------------------- Check out Cardfight!! Vanguard! We are... the Little Busters!.

	I am amazed three posters and no one considering an option that it isnt either a wii u or a wii mini, more recent wii's that have the cursed board (cant read backups, 2008 onwards i think) also removed all GC functionality, ports, and the MIOS files from the systems so no backwards compatibility this was done in an attempt to stop piracy, so you either go and buy a GC, or an older wii system (2006 is optimal) ------------------- Support the Last Story wiki!

	black doom, The new model Wii that sits horizontally lacks gamecube playback, and replaced the original design. So to the opening post, your only legal option is to pick up an earlier model Wii or a gamecube on cheap, or wait and see if Nintendo starts releasing Gamecube games on Wii U's virtual console service in the next couple of years. ------------------- General Wii U \| General 3DS
