Or injecting them onto my Wii U drive side instead and getting the settings right for setting up gamepad view/play, Worrying if my gamepad is going to give out at any moment is not much fun either not sure what will stop working when that happends.

I personally have found that setting up usb hdd game loading for GC to be harder/more tedious on the Wii U than on the Wii, having to worry about the Wii U side wanting to format the drive I want to use for the Wii Side. you do have the ability to use the gamepad for some some games. then the backwards compatibility wii is for you. If you want to run your GC games from disc and use your original memory cards, or want to use the GC to GBA feature of the few games that support it, have an obscure game that won't run in nintendont, don't want to buy additional adapters so gamecube controllers can be used on the wii u (this is important as the wii u pro controllers do not have analog LR buttons that are very useful on some gamecube games). The compatibility would be same (as in the same games would boot and play). If you are using nintendont on a wii or wii u and running the game from that software. And emulators like VBAGX can be stand-ins for the Game Boy Player, granted this is emulating the Game Boy titles instead of natively playing them, but it achieves the same desired effect all the same.Ī backwards compatible wii is the most compatible gamecube playing machine with no modifications iso files, actual GameCube memory cards can be emulated where storage space is never an issue and you can save all your games, the broadband adapter can be emulated via Nintendont allowing you to play online/LAN GameCube games for the few that allowed it.

Other hardware is redundant on a hacked Wii U, so it's not too big a deal that they aren't achievable on a Wii U: GameCube discs can be played with digital. Unfortunately, a GBA connected via the GBA to GameCube link cable will not function when connected this way, and hardware that used the memory card slot like the Mario Party mic can not be used for GameCube games on the Wii U either(and you can't substitute a USB Mic either). However, if you use the GameCube controller adapter for Wii U, you can use GameCube controllers with Nintendont on Wii U to play GameCube games with actual GameCube controllers, including the DK Bongos, Wavebird Controllers, and DDR Pads.
