Topic: Backwards Compatabilitly and Wii/DS connection

[BlackNMild2k1]

I know that while in 'GC' mode the Wii doesn't read the Wii specific HW, and we also know that Nintendo said that Wii is 100% B/C with all GC games. But what about games like Homeland that uses the internet connection? can it connect througt the Wii? And what about games like FF:CC or Pac Man Vs.? Do we really have to go out and track down conncetion cables and GBA's when we all have perfectly capable(& wireless) DS/L's that have full GBA capability?

SO you guys think its possible that Nintendo will put out a firmware update that will not only allow 'GC' mode to link up with the DS wirelessly but also allow 'GC' mode to access the Wii's internet, higher specs and/or controller to use as the user sees fit?

Maybe playing some MK: DD through that old tunneling program using the internet? Or maybe some bumped up graphics or improved frame rate(at the very least) for all the games. 4 player FF:CC,  4 player Pac Man Vs. or Pokemon Stadium using DSL's instead GBA's w/ link cables.

what do you guys think?

If your asking about if GameCube games can use the WiFi connection the answer is No, All games that used the GameCube Broadband or Modem Adaptors (PSO, Homeland, Kirby Air Ride, ext) can't see the WiFi connection. So in order to play any of these online or over the network you'll need to dig out your GameCube.

It would be great if they could, but its kind of pointless. PSO is getting shut down early next year and out side MKD all the other network games kind of sucked.

I would like to see us able to play the GBA connectivity games with the DS but I think that is unlikely too since they are designed for the GBA and we already know that the DS lacks GBA connectivity. Sadly we will be stuck with using our old GBAs and GBA/GameCube cables. No firmware can fix this since its a problem on the DS side.
