The reason I ask is because for some reason, I cant play Super Smash on the Wii. It plays on my Gamecube, but every-time I load it in the Wii, and I mean EVERYTIME, it errors. I have never been able to run Super Smash on my Wii, it always disc errors. I can run all my other Gamecube games on the Wii without a problem, except for Smash. Whats up? Anyone else experience this?

It should work. The only GC thing that I believe doesn't work is Action Replay.

Check your disc, because I was playing SSBM earlier today.

Never had a problem, if other people copies work their must be a problem with your Wii or game.

GC Action Replay works perfectly fine on my Wii.

Is yours up to date?

If I recall, one of the updates made it so things like AC will not work.

I think that all gamecube games should play on the wii. Even if the wii didn't play all gamecube games, it would surely play one of Nintendo's most successful games.

So if I took some sand paper, scratch my SSBM disc then snap it in half, It shouldn't have any trouble playing just because its one of Nintendo's most succesful games?

Cool.

No, Mr. Smarty Pants. I'm saying that Nintendo would place extra emphasis on making it backward compatible with the hardware if compatibility were limited. If you messed up your disc, it's your own fault. Now go pour some more salt on yourself and write a few poems.

Woah ho ho!! Calm it there, Caption Buddle Man. Didn't mean to wake you from your coma of depression. Might want to re-phase your wording, or just simply take a joke. Woops, sorry, I said the J word. Don't report me.
