Why would he need to pick up a used Gamecube to play RE 0 and the REmake?

Because they are Gamecube games, and at the time of posting that I didn't know dark_jedi owned a Wii.

Since used GCs are only thirty bucks now, $35 with a year warranty, buying a used Gamecube is a good suggestion for anyone who wants to catch up on the few good exclusive games that came out on it (RE titles, the two Zeldas, Metroid, Rogue Squadron, etc.). It is a two hundred and twenty bucks cheaper than the Wii, and most of the games can be picked up for pocket change. I got my copy of the REmake for $7 and it looks brand new, Metroid Prime for $6.

Of course if you have a Wii you don't need a GC, but it is still definitely worth going out of your way to buy a GC controller and to pick up a handful of wothwhile old GC games.
