      Yes and no. The latest released Wii (the Wii mini) lost GameCube compatibility due to hardware changes.

        Not really, it’s still the same architecture they just removed the ports. Every Wii (and even the Wii U) can still play GameCube games via Nintendont because the architecture is the same, just with extra features.

        The reason that programs like Nintendont are needed in this case is because they add in the extra input controls so you can use Bluetooth, classic controllers, or even USB GameCube controllers in the games.
