Has anyone tried playing GC games on the Wii? What are the results? Can you plug a GC memory card into the Wii? Apparently a number of PS and PS2 games are having "issues" with the PS3. See:
http://www.us.playstation.com/Support/CompatibleStatus
As an example, in Devil May Cry 3, you have
"Description: Throughout gameplay, when the user's character opens a door, the "warping" sound effect plays overlapped by a static noise."

What does one have to do with the other?
If there have been any Wii backwards compatibility issues, I haven't heard of any. In fact, I heard the GC Freeloader even works without a hitch. And yes, you can plug GC cards into the Wii, right next to the GC controller ports.
No problem so far with any of the Gamecube games I've stuck in. I somehow think we would've heard something from somewhere on the internet if there weren't 100% backwards compatibility with the Wii.
right now im not planning on buying a Wii,, but if they made it with slots to plus in a gameboy or snes cartridge i would be all over it...

This was the closest thing I could find regarding problems with Wii's backwards compatibility:

Apparently, though, the issue was an isolated one, because other users had no problem whatsoever with the game in question (Mario Golf: Toadstool Toor).

I would snap one up in a heartbeat if they ever did that. I doubt they'd ever do SNES games because of Virtual Console, but have Game Boy/Color/Advance games been announced for download? I skipped getting a GameCube, but I realized that meant passing on the Game Boy Player as well, so I hope there'll still be some way to play portable games on Wii.
If the Freeloader also works that would be totally sweet!
Then I can sell my Gamecube right away.
Yeah, getting a US Wii has effectively rendered my US Gamecube completely useless, being that I have a Japanese one (Tales of Symphony Green, <3) with Gameboy player. The Wii and the green cube next to each other look kind of strange compared to how the two cubes looked. Oh well... it saves space.
