As the title says, yeah, you can do it. Not sure how useful it is for stock consoles but it could be a good Gamepad replacement for portables.
In this context, GCC = GameCube Controller.
How to do it:
Get a GCC extension cable you wouldnt mind destroying OR steal the GCC ports from a Wii (or sacrifice a working controllers cable, but why would you do that?)
Connect the data pin of the GCC to TP69 on the Wii U board (its under the SoC, near the RTC EXI):
WUP-01/30/40:
WUP-50:
Give it some power (use TP122 or TP138, it doesn't matter which, both are 3v3)
and then ground it. Ground is ground, it doesn't matter where you do it.
OPTIONALLY, connect 5v at TP135 for the rumble:
This is what it should look like after
Lastly, enjoy!
Do note that the controller does not work in the Wii U Menu at this time. Unsure if it ever will, but it works completely fine in Wii games that support it (and GCN games after removing checks from Nintendont that disable SI on the Wii U).
