Does this faggot play Gamecube/Wii games off disc? Could I play FZero GX on it? What about mario galaxies?

Just Wii
So no FZero but Galaxies are fine

Wii yes, Gamecube no.
They have older games in the e-store though. And you can use Gamecube controllers with an adapter.

>Gamecube
I think you can somehow get Cube games to work on it.

>Nintendont is a homebrew application for the Wii (and thusly, the Wii U via Wii mode) that takes advantage of the fact that the Wii U is backwards compatible with the Wii...which means it's also fully backwards compatible with the GameCube. Yes, that's right - the Wii U can play GameCube games natively. No emulation here.
>natively
ffs. Why didn't Nintendo just include it themselves from launch then instead of needing custom homebrew for it? Fucking weak.

No idea. I still have dozens of GC games so that would have been pretty nice. It also makes you wonder why there are no GC games on the eshop yet.

I keep wondering this too, they're sitting on a potential goldmine (and obviously have the hardware to do gamecube emulation), it's such a shame because it'd be amazing to play gamecube games right off of the gamepad.

I haven't owned a Nintendo console since N64... missed out on so much shit. If this actually works without problems then that's a pretty big reason for me to get it... gc, wii and wii u library...
also missed out on both bayonettas... didn't wanna play the 30fps version of the first game on ps3...
this homebrew will allow me to play gc games off disc? will i get banned from nintendo online for using it?

I think you're going to have to rip the discs to your PC (or download them) and put them on your hard drive.
I think homebrew in Wii mode is safe as long as you online go online in Wii U mode. They won't be able to see what you've been doing in Wii mode. Or so I've read. I haven't tried it out yet myself.

>you online go online in Wii U mode
*you only go online in Wii U mode

Then you can sell as many HD remakes and eshop games I guess.
>>322904237
but they haven't made any apart from that one zelda game and there aren't any gamecube games in the eshop
It plays wii games off disc
it can play gamecube games if you hack the wii mode
