Who Uses the Wii In Place of Their Gamecube?

zombi

I'm not sure why I don't currently do this on my HD TV.



Doesn't it look a bit better on newer TVs to used the Wii (+ RGB cables) to player their Gamecube titles?

I use my GameCube instead of Wii for the Gameboy Player

GameCube and component cables on my hd tv and it looks great

I actually don't own a GameCube, so being able to play them flawlessly on the Wii is fantastic! There's a lot of great games for the GameCube.

The real question: who uses their GameCube as a Wii (to play GC games on)...

Bort License Plate

I use my Wii U for Wii so there's no point using a Wii for GameCube and sacrificing the GBA player

Uncle Meat

I know you guys probably think I am nuts but I only own like 3 GC games....



Super Mario Sunshine

Metroid Prime

Resident Evil RE:make

I actually use a Gamecube controller on my Wii because the Wiimote is a piece of crap.

I'm mainly asking for the quality difference with the output. Most people, including myself, don't have the GC component cables so why not use the Wii? I barely ever use my Game Boy player, personally.

Enurta

There is also GCVideo if you don't have the component cables

No I don't I don't think you ew nuts because that's about how many I own. And all of mine are Pokemon games except Paper Mario:TTYD

Cheap component video, load Gamecube/Wii disc images from HDD, emulators, Wii VC, WiiWare, you'd have to be crazy to say no to a softmodded Wii.



I do still have a GC + GB Player, but I don't use it very often.

I use a Wii for everything else but Wii, but I use Wii U for Wii. ...that's a lot of Wii in a line...

Gamecube with S-Video for me. Gamecube games look better on my hdtv with S-Video then on the Wii with component.

TriHart

I did until my Gen 1 wii died many years ago. Replaced it with the newer wii (at the time). Now I just keep everything hooked up all the time so it doesnt matter any more.

andrew244

I'm using a meh CRT so quality doesn't matter much, and I don't have a Gameboy player, but I still like to use a standalone Gamecube just for the startup

Estil

Yes I use my Wii for both Wii and GameCube games but I also need a seperate GC hooked up for Game Boy Player.

Enurta

I still use my GC for the GC Games and Gameboy Player. Have a Wii U for the Wii games

GreatGadon

I use my Wii U to also play Wii games. (that and I dont own a Wii) I use my Gamecube as is plus it has Gameboy player for all my pokemon fire red needs.

If your not worried about the GBA player then absolutely use a wii! I just purchased a PVM (in the mail) and plan on using a wii with the $10 componant cables to play my Gamecube Games rather than find a $200 set of componant cables for the GC...

The gameboy player with the hori snes pad is a must for hard gba games. Ninja five-o is just so much easier this way then a wide gba

I haven't used my GBA player in years, so I use the Wii for Gamecube. That way I can eliminate some space on the shelf.

Space Jockey

I use the Wii for Gamecube playing. I don't own enough Gamecube games or play them enough as is to warrant keeping a Gamecube console.

VGS_Hammerfestus

Well I'll be. I had no idea that the wii played GameCube games. I've never owned or even played a GameCube. I guess I'll have to look into picking up a couple of titles.

teh lurv

I have ISOs of my GC games loaded on an SD card and I play them through my WiiU in Wii mode with Nintendont.

Austin

I often use the Wii for Game Cube games, and I only have the Cube itself out for the Game Boy Player.

Be aware that not all Wii consoles play Gamecube games. It needs to have the Gamecube controller ports.

I sold my Wii when I bought a Wii U, since I just use that for Wii & Wii U games. GameCube looks way cooler than Wii, so I always used GameCube for GameCube games, regardless of how they look.

I have component cables for my GCN, so it actually looks a bit better than when I had the Wii setup via component. Gamecube for life!
