Backwards compatibility on 3DS and WiiU?

DS games run fine on 3DS, but apparently there's colour issues. Far as Wii U is concerned, they stripped out Gamecube BC for no reason. Wii games run.

They took out Gamecube BC on the Wii too, I believe it happened around 2010 when colors started appearing. It was and is to save money as a slot loader is much easier (cheaper) to make that only accepts 1 size disc instead of two. I still have my Wii if I want to play the 3 Gamecube games I still have (ie. didn't get rid of) but with Wind Waker getting an HD remake I'll be down to two :) (hoping Wii U's VC eliminates those as well). The only thing I don't like about Wii U's BC is you have to load the Wii Menu app, which really just restarts the Wii U into the older Wii's OS and from there you are literally playing a Wii, 3DS's BC is better, you can pop in a DS cart and run it just like you would a 3DS cart and if you imported stuff from your DSi like I did it runs the same as stuff you downloaded on your 3DS, pretty seemless and more than I would expect from Nintendo, the Wii U BC is closer to what I would expect but still wish it was more seemless.
