My 'cube still works so I intend to get "Metroid Prime 2" and a few other titles that I can't let fade out before I play them, but I was wondering if my GC library will play in the Wii eventually.

The Wii is fully backwards compatable. All GC games can be played, u just need a GC controller and memory card.

Wow, do you guys mean the online function of pso? I've gone back and played many GC titles on the Wii, and I was about to play pso just for a bit, and then my bro suggested I play it on the GC in his room so we could talk at the same time. So, is it the online or the offline as well? What are the chances that the one game that could have had problems, I happened to play it on a GC the one time I wanted to go back and play it.

There are three online games for the gamecube. One of them is Japan only and the title escapes me. LAN functions in games don't work either.

Offline works perfectly though. Heck it's far better then the xbox 360 or PS3 or PS2 backwards comptability.
