The other day I decided I wanted find some good GameCube games for my Wii. I've been without my Xbox 360 for almost 2 weeks, so I need something to shoot. I've got Wario Ware Smooth Moves from Gamefly, which is cool, but it's not Gears or Shadowrun. I need to do some killin'.So, I decided to head to GameStop and check out the used GCN games. I've been boycotting GameStop since the 360 launch, but I needed a fix, so I went back. I hope they learned their lesson!
This brings me to the reason for this post. I bought Battalion Wars for $10. A game I wanted to play on the GCN, but never did. I asked the genius at GS if it would be playable with the Wii Classic Controller. His response was "I don't know". Shocking!
The Classic Controller has enough buttons to work as a GameCube controller. But, when I get the game home and pop it in, I get nothing. Wonderful. So, back to GameStop I go to get a controller. I get home and start to play the game and it says I cannot save since I don't have a memory card inserted. Argh!
So, I went from moderately irritated about the controller issue to kinda pissed. Number one, why can't I use the Classic Controller on my GCN games and number two, why can't I save stuff to the 1GB SD card that's inserted in my Wii!?
I don't want to have to go hunting down a memory card when there's a perfectly good SD card in the console, but that's what I'm going to have to do.
And this is how the Wii ended my boycott of GameStop.
Nintendo and GameStop - Selling you stuff that wasn't popular last generation for this generation.
