That leads us to the “Nintendont” firmware, which seeks to allow users to play GameCube games on their Wii U through the Wii mode. It works, as you can see a screenshot of Super Smash Bros.

Your tastes may differ but there is not a bad game listed on this page. Everything is good, many are great! Here's a starter list.
