> It's such a small console that i still have it hooked up under under my TV next to the Switch.

Same here kinda. I've done similar with a WiiU. The WiiU is backwards compatible with the Wii, it literally boots into Wii firmware! Meaning with a little homebrew it can be modified to load Gamecube games and run them without the need for emulation. Nintendont even supports a variety of controllers to play gamecube games including the WiiU gamecube controller adapter.

I dump my Wii and gamecube games on my actual Wii and can load them up in the virtual Wii on the and WiiU.

3 generations running (borderline) natively on the one console.



Interesting, i didn't realise the WiiU had such similar hardware to the Wii. I passed on the WiiU so never really paid much attention to it.
