Wii Backwards Compatibility Impressions
It's surprising just how nice GameCube games look on the Wii.
I'm not sure what's going on here. It could be that there's just not a huge difference between Wii and GameCube games so step down isn't as noticable or it could be that the console is polishing up the graphics. Whatever it is I like it. Starfox seemed to have a fresh coat of paint on it when I played it on the Wii.
The best part, I was able to open the flap on top of the console and plug in the Wavebird adapter and use the wireless controller with no problems at all. It does sort of destroy the sleek look of the console, but who cares and I can always take it out if I'm not playing a bunch of GameCube games.
Starting a GameCube game on the Wii is as simple as sliding the tiny disc into that over-sized Wii slot. Then you go to the Disc channel and select start. Easy peasy.
Things are not all wonderful in the world of GameCube on Wii. For some reason, once you get into a GameCube game you have to power down the system to get the remote to start working again. At least thats been my experience. Not a big deal, though slightly annoying. It would have been nice to jump to the Wii menu from your couch and slip back into Wii stuff.
