just a guess but wii was exploitable through some wii games (ex. twilight hack) so keeping the wii part of the wii u separate could likely prevent the use of those hacks on the wii u. Having to download it afterwards could also free up space for people who don't want to use their wii u as a wii and also allow nintendo more time to perfect it after production has started. |
@the first part: Things like the twilight hack have long since been patched on Wii. Exploits aren't passed down to new devices like that.
The second part doesn't make much sense. Emulators aren't at all large in size, they wouldn't be saving much. If it's hardware backwards compatibility, then it's even less space.
I think it's the last one. They probably wanted to start production as early as possible, it's the main reason you see day one patches in general.
