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.

See Emulators on Wii for emulators that will work on vWii mode
