I own a Wii and am never going to use it for Wii games again now that I have a Wii U would there be any benefit in downgrading to a gamecube?

On one hand, GCN can use the Game Boy Player, while I don't think the Wii can. On the other hand, your Wii can now safely be modded to play international Wii games if you so desired.

Neither really appeals to me.
The gamecube has the advantage of not having to have wiimotes lying around to start the console as IIRC you need a wiimote to select the gamecube game as you can't with the GCN controller.

I know you can start it without a Wii mote but I'm not sure about navigating the Wii home screen or whatever without one. It should be easy to test, though.

So is it as simple as insert GCN disc turn on we and it automaticly loads? Or do you need to press A on the GCN controller? Or what?
