The Wii Virtual Console is generally preferred over the Wii U because of the Wii U's inherent 4-5 frames of input lag caused by syncing the game to the Wii U Gamepad. GameCube Controller support on the Wii is also a major advantage because despite the Wii U having an official Gamecube Adapter, it is not compatible with the Virtual Console service.
