Aw hell no! I promised myself that I wouldn't hack my Wii U!
Import games via freeloader? Heard it was patchy on the origi al wii so not holding my breath
I dont get it, why we need Smash Brothers Brawl?

| Cream147 said: I presumed they didn't work natively - I thought that was the whole point of no backwards compatibility with Gamecube! So is it the case that the only reason Wii U doesn't support Gamecube is because of the lack of Gamecube disc reader? Because that's a bit of a tease really, especially now they've introduced the Gamecube controller adapter. The Wii U is a great console and it would be even greater if it backwards compatibility with Gamecube as well as Wii - what a stunning library of games that would be. Unfortunately I don't do all this homebrew business because I'm worried about screwing up my console. |
They just could not be bothered to add GC controller/memory card circuitry/ports to the mainboard because of the added costs Also the bluray drive cannot read GC mini disks.
if you feed it Gamecube isos from a SD card usb stick or burned on a normal Wii style DVD it can play them. Then you only need to either emulate controllers or use an adapter like the Smash GC adapter. You then only need to find a way to save the progress by emulating a GC Memory card.
The CPU and GPU of the WiiU are 100% compatible with GC games.
Because Wii is 2 gamecubes taped together and WiiU is 9 Wii's taped together. So its basically 18 gamecubes (just random number obviously)

Makes me more interested in a Wii U

i dont understand why the wiiu cant just play gamecube games nativeley, is being only backwards compatible with original wii games worth being stuck with powerPC for nintendo ?
Lol the biggest problem is that it might void your warranty? Bruh I had my Wii U since launch, my warranty is long gone since then

A Blu Ray disc reader can't read GameCube discs.
