Do online gamecube games connect online in the Wii?

I have a Wii and am thinking of buying Super Mario Kart double dash for the gamecube since the Nintendo Wii doesn't have a Mario kart game yet. Super Mario Kart DD as far as I know has online multi-player play, so would it if I played it on the Wii connect online?Do online gamecube games connect online in the Wii?
I'm sorry to report, but all the Gamecube games that have online/LAN support are not supported by the Wii. This is due to different configuration in the networking protocols, which the Gamecube games cannot recognize the WiFi nor the Ethernet adaptor on the Wii.



Mario Kart: Double-Dash!! was able to become an online game through an online LAN-emulator called Warp Pipe ( http://cubeonline.warppipe.com/ ), which allowed LAN-enabled games (like Mario Kart: Double-Dash!! %26amp; Kirby's Air Ride to name a few) to be played online.



Since the Wii will be using the WiiConnect24 network, all games release prior to it will not be able to use this network for online gameplay.
yes that was a good explanation

No, and as far as I know Mario Kart DD does not have online capabilities. The other guy is wrong as well because you can hook up GCN controllers to the Wii through the Top of the system.Do online gamecube games connect online in the Wii?
no because just look at the control of course not
Mario Kart DD is not online capable -- only system link capable. As all Wiis are wifi only, it wouldn't be hard to test if the system link capability still works (which it really should, undoubtedly).



On that note, there are only two ONLINE games for the Gamecube:

Phantasy Star Online and Phantasy Star Online

It's kinda like that...
dont listen to him, you can plug your GC controler right into the top of the wii and even use your save file. The wii has the gc chipset inside so it is a full GC when you put in a gc disk. so If it worked in the gc it will work in the wii. 100% gc to wii compatability
No BUT u CAN use the gamecube games on the wii!
