wow thanks im really excited now! especially as the bundle i bought comes with both the SNES-style controller for Wii, and the N64-style one too.

I love both waverace & goldeneye, among other games.

Im now even more annoyed at Royal Mail cus they tried to deliver it at 9am this morning an i didnt get up til 9:45. Usually my mail comes after noon!

4 - if you add the homebrew channel (google it) you can play copied GC games.

If you youtube it, there will probably be a vid for you.
