Dublinthefox Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 It turns out that gamecube discs will not be compatible with the system, but a number of games that were playable on the gamecube can be downloaded from Wiiware. Although this is not a official statement confirming downloadable Gamecube games, the possibility is still there. Chances are you will need to purchase a hard rive or an SD card to store the games, but I have a very cheaper and effective solution......Buy a Gamecube!

Vulvokunvrii Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Lol sweet, even thought the original Wii could play certain Gmaecube games, its good to see they are keeping that feature ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublinthefox Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Lol sweet, even thought the original Wii could play certain Gmaecube games, its good to see they are keeping that feature I was surprised about this too. This could mean that Super Smash Bros. Melee. Star fox Adventures and Assault can be downloaded. though for me I'm gonna stick with the physical version.

Deploy Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Nice! That'd be great for more expensive games like Tales of Symphonia! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublinthefox Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Nice! That'd be great for more expensive games like Tales of Symphonia! And for some Rare titles too, But I don't know any. The only question remains.....Will it be able to play DVDS?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deploy Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 And for some Rare titles too, But I don't know any. There are a few... Cubivore and Ikaruga are 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Elite Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Well since the Wii can, you'd expect it to continue, but whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Elite Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 PS3 doesn't play PS2 games. I'm not talking about the PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Will it be able to play DVDS?! If I'm not mistaken, Nintendo has already said that they're not including DVD/Blu-Ray playback; a shame really. I still don't entirely see the point of the Wii - U, when Sony & Micro$oft release their next-gen consoles, Nintendo is going to be left behind again. The only positive I can think of is the library of Nintendo's exclusives. Also, all Gamecube games on Wii - U have to be downloaded; Nintendo dropped backwards compatibility in physical format.

Guest Mr. Nintendo Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I knew I would see Gamecube games come back as downloadables for the Wii-U...but what can I say? If rare titles will be included in the library, it'll be good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 "Buy the games you already own again!" Nintendo is really being a pain about this. Not a way to win over alienated fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Woot, 3 ways of playing my gc games, how exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrilwood Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 FINALLY!!! Something that's easier to acquire honestly than it is to pirate. I'm so used to it being the other way around. Trust me, getting GC roms is like, impossible. If they screw it up and desecrate it with DRM I will cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf O'Donnell Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 That is great news! (especially for those who don't own the games...) Maybe this means that controllers will at least be compatible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkstarfox Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Meh, i still have my gamecube, and if I want a game bad enough I'm sure there is some one out there who will sell it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
