Wii U won't play GC games

Who cares?

I don't think more than one generation should ever be a deal breaker. Its just too far back to care about. GC will be added to VC or keep your Wii.

I think the bigger issue with Nintendo is their lack of unification across all Nintendo platforms for VC and other downloadable games.

Well, I care, for one. Not much, but it'd still be nice. Also, Gamecube controller support would be nice as well. That's probably my biggest concern.

 

As a collector, I kept my Gamecube after I got my Wii, and I intend to keep my Wii after getting a WiiU.

This is the exact reason I say who cares. People who will play two generation old games will likely still have the hardware. I'd rather sell it all and rebuy for a cheap price on VC if I really want to relive the game. Keep in mind this is for games at least two generations old.

As it is, I only have 8 and 16bit games on VC. I have zero N64/GC in my library. Though I might buy some  I missed from GC if they go on sale for $10 or less.
