Play GameCube Games on Your Wii U (Day 3261 - 10/29/18)

Today, Stephen mods his Wii U to be able to play GameCube games. Since the Wii U console contains a Wii inside it, the Wii U is perfectly capable of running GameCube games natively, but it cannot run GameCube discs due to other factors. He does not provide any resources on how to do this in order to prevent copyright and warranty issues, but he does show that it is indeed possible. He does this to prepare for Extra Life this year, just in case something goes wrong. Stephen's very confused as to why Nintendo never took advantage of this to expand the Virtual Console to include GameCube games, but that's in the past, since the Switch has been released.
