Wii was just 2 GameCubes in a coat with a fancy new control method. WiiU is another two on their shoulders so it can emulate Games from all three generations.

It doesn't emulate wii and GameCube games it runs them natively

Wait the Wii U has native GameCube support too?

Yeah the "virtual wii" mode is just running on what is a slightly better wii chipset. It can even run triforce arcade games because of that slightly better power. So it can run anything the wii can, which includes GameCube.
