    Playing Gamecube games on the Wii, a question.

    So my family brought a Wii. I shall abuse it while they are out. But a question that for some reason I cannot find a straight answer anywhere:

    I know you need the game and a gamecube controller (got both) but what about the saved games? Do I need a gamecube memory card? I've not owned a gamecube before* so I have no idea how their memory card are like.

    *And I didn't bother checking a few years back when a friend got one, I just gone over there picked up my controller and game!

    I wanted to add:

    There's no slowdown or anything is there? It plays like it will on a Gamecube 100%?

    A Nintendo Gamecube Memory Card is required to save Gamecube Games on the Wii. You cannot save to Wii SD Memory or the Wii Flash Memory. Also, I have not noticed any difference between my Gamecube and the Wii. I've only played the Gamecube Legend of Zelda Bonus Disc and Phantasy Star Online on the Wii though, as far as Gamecube Discs are concerned. I hope that has answered your question, if you need anything else feel free to post or PM me.

    There's no difference between the gamecube as it's not being emulated.

    Yeah save games need a memory card.

    Some games will play with the wiimote classic controller I think, but it's unwieldy. And yes you need a GCN memory card. I've not noticed any slowdown that I can recall on the games I've played so far (Metroid Prime 1 and 2, SW:RS).

    Yeh I looked on Amazon UK. I'll see.

    I might be able to salvage a memory card off my friend who doesn't use his GC anymore. And a controller. Just hunting around for options.
