How To Play Gamecube Games On Wii

If you want to make the most of your gaming experience, you'll want to learn how to play GameCube games on Wii. One of the best features about the Wii is its backwards-compatibility—in other words, the system comes with the innate ability to play both GameCube and Wii games.

Whenever you're ready to start enjoying some of the best games of yesteryear, here is how to play GameCube games on Wii.

In order to play GameCube games on Wii, you're going to need the following:

• A few GameCube discs
• A GameCube controller
• A GameCube memory card
• A Nintendo Wii

1. Connect your Wii to the TV. Be sure to refer to the instructions provided with the Wii if you get confused. Also, be certain to put the Wii sensor bar on top of your TV in order to get the maximum sensor range possible.
2. Connect your GameCube peripherals to the Wii. If you open up the flap on top of your Wii near the eject switch, you'll find places for the controllers and memory cards. You want to make certain that both are connected before turning on your console or they might not work. 
3. Load in your GameCube disc and power on your Wii. You'll be brought to the Wii startup screen at this point and you'll need to use the Wii remote to select the "GameCube game" option, which is in the top left corner. Please note that even though you need to do this, you cannot use the Wii remote to play GameCube games. You can only use the GameCube controller, hence why you connected the controller first. If everything worked correctly, you can now play GameCube games on Wii.
