That means nothing of the sort. The Wii U just may have a lockout to keep GC games from actually working, or they may not physically fit into the tray. The Wii U still uses a PowerPC based processor. Wii U may just support Wii games via hardware. All the controllers and accessories are apparently still supported anyways.tigris said:So, Wii and Gamecube's architecture=same.

More likely that they just wanted to drop having to place 4 controller ports and 2 memcard slots just for GC backwards compatibility and avoid wasting space on the main consolegranville said:That means nothing of the sort.

Yep, a good analysis of the potential situation. The Wii and GC had enough of a difference where developers still had to customize the Wii to accept GC accessories.raulpica said:More likely that they just wanted to drop having to place 4 controller ports and 2 memcard slots just for GC backwards compatibility and avoid wasting space on the main consolegranville said:That means nothing of the sort.

I HIGHLY doubt that would ever work.EnigmaXtreme said:Hell why not just a USB dongle that allows you to plug in the GC controller
Wii's bluetooth didn't exist on the GC and is shut off in GC mode.EnigmaXtreme said:Does anyone know of a wireless Gamecube controller for the wii that doesn't require a dongle?
No, and i doubt you've ever played the system if you think so. There were plenty of great games for the system. I could make a large list of them if you so wished (i won't unless you really ask). Just because the PS2's library was so extensive, doesn't mean GC didn't have any good stuff.mathewd3 said:Weren't pretty much all Gamecube games terrible?

Not that I want to go back and play any particular GC game.
