Emulators via vWii
Most emulators available for the Wii will also work on vWii(virtual Wii) mode on the Wii U. However, due to sandboxing, there will be no performance gain over a Wii, though some emulators support the Wii U pro controller or Wii U Gamepad.

- ↑ Cave Story Engine 2, or CSE2 for short, received a DMCA cease and desist notice from Nicalis, the current IP owner of Cave Story, despite the original Cave Story being a freeware developed by Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya.
- ↑ Ship of Harkinian requires either the GameCube's PAL Debug version (recommended) or the regular PAL GameCube version (not recommended) of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to generate an
oot.otr
file to play it. The 2022-05-10 release and nightly builds before build #28 require OTRGui_BE to generate an oot.otr
for Wii U. However, newer releases and builds after build #28 require the PC version of oot.otr
built in the regular OTRGui to play.
