I'd perfer it to be that you could just put in your gamecube discs. I mean, it's not like the Wii U couldn't support another disc.

That would be the most idiotic thing ever. I'd have to keep my Wii. Or go buy a used GameCube. Keeping my Wii sounds like the more cost-effective option though.
Not to mention that most GCN games are a couple of GIGABYTES in size. Remind me again how much internal storage the WiiU was gonna have? Right. Near to nothing. They had better not follow through with that.

But there are 4 Usb ports in the back. Perhaps you will be able to store data on some sort of Nintendo Flash Drive?

..Or a normal USB drive? Having you .ISO files stored and then emulated on the Wii U? Like Ps2 to Ps3 emulated in Ps3.

I think Nintendo wouldn't want to have GCN games stored on any old Flash Drive. They don't want people to mess around with the files.

Nintendo has not kept it secret that they are trying to keep hardware and manufacturing costs down for the Wii U, but it looks like it this may come back to bite them.
According to reports by 01net, developers are having trouble developing games for the Wii U, due to the faulty hardware in the console's tablet controller. Evidently, the controllers wireless function is not working, and even wired controllers are having problems. Evidently, this is due to the chip that powers the controller being "too cheap", resulting in many problems for the controller and its functions.
Nintendo has reportedly sent daily software updates to developers, but problematic development still exists.
Could these issues plague the Wii U when the system launches next year? Will Nintendo fix these problems by the launch date? Nintendo is on to some innovative ideas with the Wii U; it would be a shame if faulty hardware held the system back.
