You can't really know that, you dont know how exactly would GC sell without that feature, and one of Wii U biggest problem actualy was huge software drouth, also this would be completely different thing, because you couldn't take your GC and play on go, because GC was just home console that could play GBA games and it seems that NX is hybrid devaice that act like home console and handheld in same time, totaly difrent things.

The fact of the matter is and the point you are missing is that despite Nintendo's prior home consoles being capable of running the vast majority of their mobile software (SNES (Gameboy), N64 (Gameboy, Gameboy Advance), Gamecube (Gameboy Advance)) Nintendo hasn't been able to correlate a massive  increase in sales due to the introduction of that functionality, it stands to reason it is why Nintendo didn't physically support such a scheme on the Wii and Wii U.
In-fact if you paid attention to all the reviews and such over the years, you will notice it wasn't a must-have feature on any of Nintendo's consoles.


So no. NX being a Hybrid device isn't completely different, in-fact it is irrellevent.
The Wii U is a Hybrid device, has games from prior systems emulated and it has been one of the largest flops in Nintendo's history, which is extremely sad to see.

I actually owned the SNES Gameboy adapter, it was "fine" but it's not what sold me a SNES back in the day, mobile will always have compromised visuals, always.

We are here talking about one unifed devaice where NIntendo teams are not splited on handheld and home devolpment teams, all Nintendo teams working on games for one devaice, you cant relly compare that with anuthing Nintendo done before.

Wii U was not a hybrid device, you had handheld/tablet controller but you couldn't use it on go, hybrid device of home console and handheld basically means you can use like real handheld on go or like real home console at home, and ad to that unified development of all gaming teams (not split like before on handheld and home console games), and you have totally different thing than anything before.
