Wii hacking can play disc based backups, movies, and custom themes but that is about it. Vwii can do most stuff the wii can do but make sure it is safe for vwii (Some things for wii can brick vwii)Is there any advantage that Wii hacking has over vWii on WiiU? At a glance it seems vWii (and eventually hacking WiiU) is superior. Any point in keeping my Wii around?
the only advantage of wii vs vwii is if you have one of those old wiis with gc ports and gc memory card slots, you can use gc controllers(on gc games and wii games that support the gc controller), gc memory cards and play retail gc discs.
its sad the wiiu gc adapter does not work for vwii and any gc compatible wii game will not be playable with the gc controler.
but thats about it, if you dont play retail gc disc games using original gc memory cards or use gc controllers on wii games that allow them, you dont gain anything of having your wii vs vwii. i have my wii on storage and use wiiu for everything now.
Technically no, but Nintendont allows the use of the GC adapterThe one nice thing about the wii is that you can play project M with gamecube controllers. Wii backup loaders for the wiiu do not support gamecube controllers.
There are workarounds of sorts, however. If the game is compatible with the Classic Controller, then you can use an adaptor to connect a GameCube controller to thr Wii Remote in place of the Classic Controller. Not ideal, but it works.The one nice thing about the wii is that you can play project M with gamecube controllers. Wii backup loaders for the wiiu do not support gamecube controllers.
