First of all how do you buy SNES and N64 and any nintendo related game to use on the Wii?

Secondly is it just the gamecube games that can only be directly used on the wii?

Thirdly, What game systems can you actually use for the wii? (SNES,sega...?)

1.- You need to connect your Wii to Wi-Fi and access the Wii Shop Channel, which comes with every console, no installments required. Inside the Shop Channel you can download games from old consoles, provided you put in money from a Wii Points Card or a Credit Card.

2.- Play directly on the Wii. The Wii also connects to the GBA for the Gamecube games that are compatible. However, you still need a Gamecube Memory Card, as you can't save Gamecube files into the Wii internal memory.

3.- You can download games from the NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, Turbo Graph 16, and NEO-GEO, but you can't connect the actual systems/games into the Wii, outside of Gamecube games.

Thanks for the info.So just to clarify:

The only games you can play directly on the wii are the gamecube games and the Related GBA right?

And where do you get the Wii points card?

Yes, and from any store that sells video games.

Also Gamecube controllers-- the Wiimote / Classic controllers won't run Gamecube games.

You can also buy points directly off of the Wii shop channel with a debit or credit card.
