Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Rokosz your "oh!" digital lifestyle expert and I'm here to show you how to play Nintendo Game Cube Games on your new Wii System. Yep, you just got the new Wii, you made the investment in it, congratulations, welcome to the club; we've got jackets. But you've made a huge investment in your old Game Cube games. Well the one thing that Nintendo Wii did, which was absolutely brilliant, is make their system backwards compatible. And the past game systems have come out and completely forgot that they've made other game systems. "Oh, dude who must play those," well now here you can take it and move it on into a better gaming system, in my opinion, and still maintain the things; and I'll show you how to do that. The Game Cube games are somewhat smaller than the regular games than the full size DVD games that normally come with the Wii. You simply put them in the exact same way. See if we can eject one out here, again bigger. If yours were smaller again towards the center and put it in there. It will completely understand and read your Game Cube games; awesome. Now here's something else that I find very very cool about the Wii is that, you know four games made with the Wii they do have the very cool Wii controllers for moving it around and things of that nature. And you saw when I was playing Mario here that I could move it, if I hold it like this its very similar to the classic controller; theres no Wii type action its just I'm moving and hitting buttons. But as we know with Game Cube they stepped it up a notch with their standard controller. The three buttons on the back, got your buttons over here, two lever controllers, your D button, your pause button, got all of these so how do you mimic that? I've got the games in there, got one of the first person shooters, I use all of those things, but I can't do it. Ah ha, in their perfect quest for backwards compatibility if you look over here on the top or side depending on however you sat down. A little secret compartment, Booya! right in here is a place that allows, that's for one of the memory cards, but allows you to plug in your Game Cube controller. Boop, pop it in right there now and even the wireless one works put the wireless hub right in there, and there are four of them so it's not just one to satisfy but you get a chance to play all your favorite games. So hey sell that Game Cube on eBay, keep the games, use your own remotes, it'll be great; Like me Rokosz your digital lifestyle expert. "Wii you later.""
