I have the 2013 late macbook pro 15" (the higher end non custom model with the discrete graphics). I'm sure you can get a used one fairly cheap.
I have been running xenoblade chronicles at 4x resolution (almost twice 1080p) without too many hiccups. As long as you run it in windowed mode and not full screen (even if you have to extend the edges of the window to the edge of your screen). I don't know why, but it runs 10x smoother that way.
I can even mirror it to my 60" hdtv hooked up to my Apple t.v. module, ps4 controller, and it runs great. (Minor sound stutters here and there but I got those bugs ironed out).
I have not tried any other games yet, but I'd imagine if it can do xenoblade at insane resolution pretty smooth it should be able to run most if not all wii games.
I'm building a dedicated emulator soon so I can use dolphin on Windows (better compatibility), but the MBP works great if that's all you have.
