Rayman 1 on the Wii!? O_o

[Phoenixan]

I wouldn't be surprised if it came out on Virtual Console since it was out on PS1, Saturn, and Jaguar.

[Hunchman801]

Does it allow to play old games with the Wii?

[Beebop]

You can play gamecube games on the Wii.

[Blok2004]

And turbo grafix and sega saturn and genisis and all previous nintendo consoles

[Beebop]

That's pretty good.

[Blok2004]

Ya I can cope with that

[Beebop]

I think everyone could.

The Wii can easely play GameCube games in the standard disc channel. But for NES, SNES, N64, and Sega games you'll have to buy those games in the Wii shop channel. To do that, you have to add Wii points to your system, 1 euro are 100 Wii points.

[Beebop]

If you play gamecube games on the wii, how do the controls change?, or do you just use a gamecube controller?

[Newray]

You just have to open a few gates at the top of the system and plug your old gamecube controllers and memory cards in to play. I'm not sure if the Wii's Traditional Controller is compatible for GameCube games though.

[Jman]

It is, but it is better to use GC controller for it.

[Beebop]

Cool, that means I can play Zelda:windwaker with a wiimote.

[Jman]

Ooops I meant that the virtual controller is able to work for the old games.

[Beebop]

Oh, what a shame.

[Newray]

I'm going to buy a Traditonal Controller next week. GameCube controllers are very bad for virtual console games.

[Beebop]

I thought they were alright.

[Newray]

For gamecube games, yes. But try to play a NES or SNES game on such a big controller..

[Beebop]

Yeah, I suppose so.

[Hunchman801]

By the way, I saw an ad for the Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition. Has anyone heard of it?

[Beebop]

Of course!. I saw it, it looks really good. "totally redesigned perfectly for the Wii!"
