Nintendo has been cracking down on emulators this year.

I'm guessing it's because the Switch 2 will be a "Gamecube to Wii" sort of upgrade. Gruntier CPU and GPU, minor hardware changes, but same basic system. So Nintendo has been cracking down on Switch emulators so there won't be a zero day Switch 2 emulator.

You mean Wii to WiiU?

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

Yeah, but if I'm not mistaken not because they're the same architecture, but because each WiiU had full Wii hardware inside it, so it was actually two consoles. The Wii was actually just a faster GameCube.

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.
