The Nintendo GameCube came out in 2001, and was succeeded by the Wii. The Wii is backwards compatible, and will play Gamecube games, and also uses the optical discs that the Wii uses, only they are smaller.

Can you use GameCube games for the Wii?

Yes, you can. Just insert the Gamecube disc into the Wii as you would a Wii game, and on the game channel, the Gamecube logo will show up. Click on the game channel and click "Start" to begin the game. You will need Gamecube controllers to play Gamecube games, however. Plug the controller into the top of the Wii to be able to use the Gamecube controller.


How did the Nintendo d.s begin?

would not be the successor to the Nintendo GameCube,[8] but rather it would be considered a "new Game Boy". On January 20, 2004, the console was announced under the codename "Nintendo DS" (which initially stood for Developer's System). Nintendo released a few details at that time, only saying that the console would have two separate 3-inch TFT LCD display panels, separate processors, and up to 1 gigabit of semiconductor memory. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said, "We have developed Nintendo DS based upon a completely different concept from existing game devices in order to provide players with a unique entertainment experience for the 21st century." In March, the codename was changed to "Nitro" and a document containing most of the console's technical specifications was leaked. In May, the codename was changed back to "Nintendo DS" and the console was shown in prototype form at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). All of the features of the console were revealed by Nintendo at E3. On July 28, 2004, Nintendo revealed a new design, one that was described as "sleeker and more elegant" than the one shown at E3. Also, the codename "Nintendo DS" became the official name of the console that day.
