The eShop Wii titles run in vWii, they are just disc images which include scanned manuals and are accessed via WiiU shortcuts. They could easily do the same for the GC games, since they also run natively on the vWii and controls can be mapped to the Gamepad (plus they got the GC adapter).
They could have used this method at launch (something I wanted), and had all of the Wii's digital content be accessible from the WiiU menu and have Gamepad controls. Then the VC would have also included N64 titles... but they wanted to sell us some WiiU VC.
