Why isn't Nintendo playing a stronger Virtual Console card?

Two reasons: Nintendo sucks at release scheduling. And getting the games to work 100% requires work. GC games are so unbelievably a pain in the ass to work on emulation.

It wouldn't be nearly as difficult on Nintendo's hardware since the WIi U uses components that are upgrades of the CG ones. Or if you prefer, they're the same family of hardware components. Unlike what you use on PC to emulate the GC.

Isn't the WiiU's Wii mode a carbon copy of the Wii? I always thought the lack of Gamecube compatibility was because the WiiU can't read GC's mini discs.
