The Source engine already has rendering paths for DirectX 7, 8, and 9, so simpler variants of the shaders already exist. The Gamecube and Wii have approximately the same programmability as a DirectX 8 graphics card on the PC, so it shouldn't be much of a graphical downgrade. The main thing is the resolution.
