Well what can I say never assume anything.
My son has been wanting to play Super Mario Sunshine for ages, but as this is a gamecube game and It is not sold in any store I haven't got around to it until now.
I got it on a Swedish site called Tradera basically a site like Ebay. I got it in the mail this morning and my son was very happy.
So I turned on the wii console and started the gamecube game, but as soon as the game started with the trailer the wii remote stopped working.
First thought was ok its the batteries because they were low, so I go out in the rain down to the store and buys a new pair of batteries, come home and change them and the wii remote STILL doesn't work.
So I thought well I Google it some more, and after some searching I find out I can't use the wii remote to the gamecube games, what the hell? They launch the Nintendo Wii with the information that it can run Nintendo Cube games only to find out you need to buy another controller.
So I am now either forced to to buy a controller AND as I also find out a memory card for the Nintendo Wii as apparently one can't even save Nintendo Cube games on the Nintendo Wii, and a Controller and a memory card is about the same money as a buying an entire Gamecube on Tradera.
So what can I say NEVER assume anything, and guess I will soon have a Nintendo Cube.
