Nintendo Wii Cyberbike

[cas42]

Hi, I have just got a new Wii cyberbike but I cannot connect it to the console. I've looked and there is no ports whatso ever on the device to connect the cable too. I've looked up cable adapters on various sites and can't find anything suitible for my Wii. I discovered that the cable that came with the bike is a 'game cube cable' but I only have USB ports on my WII console. The machine is just over a year old and black. Any one know where I can get a cable adapter from? Thanks

"I wish I'd NEVER bothered with this bike now, as I only read all the bad reviews after I got it! Plus, I lost my money in the end, as my NEW Wii-Console doe NOT have the side flap with 4 sockets to plug the bike into, as the OLD make of console HAS!!!"

The Wii Cyberbike utilises GameCube (predecessor of the Wii) connections. When the Wii was first produced it was backwardly-compatible with the GameCube and could use GameCube media and controllers.

It sounds like you bought the Wii Family Edition not long after launch in late 2011. Unfortunately this update of the Wii console saw the removal of the backwards-compatiblity to the GameCube.
