does Wii need a adapter to use gamecube controllers?

[tyecko]

Hey guys quick question before I buy a Wii and sell the Cube, I was at my friends house today who has the Wii and I forgot to check if there were any outlets for cube controllers but in my memory there weren't any. Do you have to buy a special adapter to use them or is there a built in spot that I missed?

Yeppers. In the upright position there are two doors that open on top revealing 4 ports for cube controllers and the Wavebird works fine as well. You will also see slots for memory cards.

No adapter is needed. On the top(or side) of the Wii there is GC controller and memory card ports under two flaps.

Unfortunately the Wii looks pretty ridiculous with all that crap hanging off the top though. It is a cool feature though, for sure.

Anyways, enjoy the Wii/Gamecube goodness. :applause:
