It doesn't emulate wii and GameCube games it runs them natively
Wait the Wii U has native GameCube support too?
Yeah the "virtual wii" mode is just running on what is a slightly better wii chipset. It can even run triforce arcade games because of that slightly better power. So it can run anything the wii can, which includes GameCube.
Yeah, but if I'm not mistaken not because they're the same architecture, but because each WiiU had full Wii hardware inside it, so it was actually two consoles. The Wii was actually just a faster GameCube.
Even better
