The main reason Nintendo went with mini-discs for the GCN was to prevent piracy. However, since the Wii uses full-size discs, I was thinking it's probably possible to burn a GCN game to full-sized DVD and then run it on the Wii. Does anyone know if it can be done? Do you need a special boot disc?

I have really been wanting to play Hudson Selection Volume 4 as of late...

Can you? I have DreamMix TV: World Fighters, but I've never tried it without FreeLoader.

At this point though, these games are all long since out of print, so the cost to import them is more than I'd like to pay and they're hard to find anyway.

Whereas I already have the Freeloader and it's still a two disc process, there's no real advantage.

also, some nerd found out how to use the gamecube broadband adapter to stream pirated games from your PC to the gamecube. I wonder if a similar theory would work on the wii.

Probably not. The Gamecube trick exploits a glitch in the original version of Phantasy Star Online I & II. I imagine even if you had a copy of the game, the Wii wireless works differently than the GCN wireless, so it would be a no-go.

It's pretty fun, it's basically Smash Bros. Melee Lite. The lack of trophies to unlock takes away some of the replayability, but it's still good times. There's a short challenge mode as well, called Caravan Mode.

Also, you forgot to mention the game has Megatron and Solid Snake as well. Oh, and Megatron and Optimus both transform. Megatron's gun mode is super cheap too.

That sounds pretty nice. How does one find/play this game?

It was released in Japan only on the PS2 and GCN. I imported it via some website a year or so ago. I forget which one.

I believe the only reason the game hasn't been released in the US is because Hasbro has the U.S. licensing rights to Transformers.
