Is there a reason to keep a Gamecube.....

I have a buddy whose kids are down and he has not one videogame system for them to play, so he asked me if I had one he could either borrow, or have? I already have a Wii and was just wondering, if the Wii could play all the Cube games with no issues? So far I've play Resident Evil 0,Metroid Prime,and Super Mario Sunshine on it with no issues. I just didn't want to give it to him if it would render my Gamecube games useless. Thoughts..

The Wii plays all GC games perfectly as far as I know, but it's not compatible with the Game Boy Player. It's up to you.

If you have a Wii, then a Gamecube is still worth having for the Gameboy Player Attachment. That's the BEST way to play Game Boy, GBC, and GBA games. It's almost like having another 2D Nintendo console.

Sounds like you won't be needing the GC again and its a really nice gesture :) plus your friends kids will be playing some top quality titles.

It's called a very nice doorstop :D

Well if you ever accidentally corrup memory cards on Wii, a Gamecube is a nice thing to have. Just be extra careful when inserting and removing memory cards in Wii; if you do either while the Wii is on, you won't be able to use that memory card on Wii.

Game Boy Player. That's about it.

That handle and its heft makes it a great bludgeoning instrument, the Wii is too light and flimsy to knock out anyone. :PSciFiCat

Also if you play Phantasy Star Online you can't use the online feature of it on the Wii as far as I know. I know the servers are dead, but there are ways around that......

Unless you wanto keep using a gameboy player, there's no need for a GC if you have a wii.

Is there a reason to keep a Gamecube? Not really just give your pal the GameCube. If you have a Wii then you don't need a Gamecube since the Wii contains a GameCube. more or less.

The only reason to keep a GameCube is if your a collector. But that is it.

You might want to keep your Gamecube if you trade in your Wii towards a Wii U, since the Wii U won't have backwards compatibility with the Gamecube.

You don't need Gamecube unless you want that Gamboy attachment. But I think you still need to have the Gamecube controller.

You can play GameBoy games with Gamecube on your TV. I say keep it!

I have a Wii, butI still hold on to my GameCube simply because my Wii is no longer able to read GameCube memory cards.
