If you want to use a GCN controller for your emulated games, go ahead and buy a GCN-USB adapter (actually, I don't know if they exist, but they probably do).


You can't say that's "the whole point."  VC also allows you to play games on a TV through a user-friendly interface, the TV possibly situated away from people's computers, yet in a location where their other games are.  The portability of a Wii also allows said games to be easily transported elsewhere.  Also, Wavebirds don't work on GCN-USB adapters.
