Here is a full list of games that work with the app. It is in very alpha stages at the moment, and thus doesn’t have perfect compatibility with many Gamecube games. The appropriately named “Nintendont” app works with both the vWii (the virtual Wii that the Wii U emulates) and the standard Wii, and it supports Memory Card emulation, but it only works with a handful of controllers (including, ironically, the PS2 and PS3 Dual Shock controllers).

However, those clever Wii U homebrewers have managed to do one better, and have successfully created an app that allows gamers to run Gamecube games on the system, something that Nintendo said couldn’t happen. “Nintendont” is a homebrew app for the Wii U that allows gamers to play Gamecube games on the system.īackwards compatibility has become a bit of a point of contention among gamers this generation, with Nintendo traditionally offering only a single generation of it, and Microsoft and Sony not offering it at all.
