Sounds like a troll to me.
However, for the billionth time, the Wii has ports for four GameCube controllers and two memory cards, so you can buy the Wii and have access to all the GameCube titles you want, in addition to NES, SNES, N64, TurboGraphx, and possibly Commodore 64 titles. It's even a possibility that Nintendo will release previously unreleased titles into the Virtual Console.
So, you nearly quadruple your gaming library simply by buying a Wii, without the need for extra consoles laying around.

A is on top, centered where your thumb would usually rest, while B is on the bottom as a trigger button.

X_x;; Sounds like she just couldn't get it through her skull for a few hours that the Wii will easily overpower the GC.
