Gamecube games are confirmed for the Wii U's virtual console. I think they should also put Dreamcast, and if possible Saturn, games on the VC as well. What do you guys think?

Wii backward compatability doesn't mean there might not be GCN games
GCN games could easily run with control modifications for new controllers - don't need old stuff. And software emulation would work fine - though the hardware is the same so there's not much of emulation anyways. The point is - this is a way better system to modify games and emulate the GCN ones because they save so much space in the hardware ... not just the support of the feature-wise but also controller slots and memory card slots take substantial space that could be used for cooling and making the system beefier ... i don't mind if the case is big in wiiu - i would prefer it more thick than long.

I don't see any reason why there can't be Dreamcast games on the VC. All I can think of is that Sega might not agree with it since they're putting out all those HD collections of DC games these days...

That it is!That isn't a Classic controller. That is a Wavebird painted white with the word Wii on it.
It's a custom mod by someone on the internet.
Looks good though, doesn't it?
If Gamecube and Dreamcase are going to be on the Wii U's VC, I hope they release something like that, but either with the wiimote's bluetooth inside it, or a little attachment like they nyko video in another thread.
It'd be perfect.

Why we are going to need a classic controller if the Wii U controller have all the neccesary things that the Gamecube controller needs? I'm fine with the controller to play virtual console games.
