Wii Play GameCube

Nintendo’s newest console could be reviving the games for the system that it replaced. It seems the Wii owners I know are playing more GameCube games than ever before. With the backward compatibility of the Wii, the gamut of games available to play is huge.

A trip to the local video game store will reveal that GameCube games are more affordable than ever. The same games on the PS2 are usually at least twice as much. So, with Wii games retailing from $50-$60, Wii owners can buy 6 or more GameCube games for the same price. Best of all, Wii owners do not have to use the Wii controller but can use their old GameCube controller, too.

I find it interesting that so many of the Wii owners I know are playing so many GameCube games, games that are thought be more for kids than adults. These same people never owned a GameCube but now have learned that there are some great titles for the game system.

While there won’t be any new games for the GameCube, it’s nice to see the games for the what is considered a kid’s console getting respect from adult Wii owners.
