main thing i wanted homebrew on the wiiu part itself would be for gamepad support, it would be amazing to play VC games, not64,wiisx and preety much every other game using the gamepad since the gamepad should be way more easy to acess due to not being locked on the wiiu menu
From what I understand, that's supposedly gonna require one huge amount of lib work to achieve - direct gamepad access just isn't available from the off (someone feel free to tell me if I'm wrong), so it isn't merely a case of release-exploit, gamepad-runs-everything. I'm with you of course though, it'd be fantastic (and all really that I'd want), but it's just not a simple wiimote-esque bluetooth controller.
Who knows, maybe Nintendo will implement it in Wii mode - I know the amount of work that would mean by the way, but after all they're focusing on DS & GBA VC on Wii U, perhaps it's a more ideal scenario that they implement gamepad support in vWii instead of converting N64, etc, VC titles over to Wii U mode..... Yeah I'm not getting my hopes up, but you never know! *crosses fingers*
