If you're anything like me, you've recently obtained a Wii, and love it to death. You're also probably wondering why Nintendo bothered to include Gamecube compatibility as one of its many features. The obvious technical answer is that the Wii is more or less nothing more than a dressed-up Gamecube inside.

But the more satisfying answer is that there's a huge library of great, inexpensive games out there waiting for the Wii crowd to discover them.

Recently, a list has been making the rounds of some of the best Gamecube games out there, that are really worth picking up if you've never played them, or never had a Gamecube, but are interested in exploring that aspect of your Wii.
