How to Install a GameCube Memory Card on a Wii

The Wii is able to play the game discs from its predecessor, the GameCube. The Wii is the first Nintendo console with backward compatibility. However, you will need a GameCube memory card in order to store your GameCube save games. They won't save onto an SD card or to the Wii's internal memory bank. All you need to do is find the two GameCube memory card slots behind the Wii's access door.
