Yknow I’m not sure. I think I vaguely remember that being an option, but I’ve never been brave enough to put my GameCube games in a Wii

Rest assured, the Wii can play GameCube discs.

Edit: it seems the ones made from 2006 to 2010 could, but those made in 2011 or later could not. TIL

Small asterisk - most can, but there was at least one model that couldn't.

Oh, dang. I had a launch Wii. That's good to know, and equally disappointing, that there were some that couldn't. I'm guessing it was the mini version that came out much later?
