Would be great if I could do this. Got a load of Wii and Wii U games, and an old console, but the game pad has issues and can't find any replacements local to me, or for a reasonable price.

Have you tried contacting Nintendo support? They often offer repairs for quite a long time.

  They stopped repairing these. I have one actually got it repaired before they shut everything down.

There's a project floating around that reverse engineers the game pad protocol to allow building a custom replacement with a Linux machine and an Android tablet, but it's a bit involved. The way the WiiU tablet works requires hacking up the Linux wireless stack, IIRC. Cemu and Dolphin are great, if you feel like homebrewing the console and dumping all your games to play on PC.

On the one hand I wanted to say that a lot of people are not that rich, so they would still happily buy an older PlayStation model and games. But then I remembered that this is Nintendo and that they would sadly still ask full price for both the console and whatever games would be available.
