Should be able to since Wii U is backwards compatible but I am not positive on that since I don't have a Wii U.

Yes, it will. That is the beauty of Wii/Nintendo; they always retrofit their games and equipment to the older products, so you don't have to keep forking out cash for every upgrade. Unlike other game consoles.

I wouldn't try it. I got for the original wii and it didn't change the picture at all!

no... you would have to get the wii version -- anything with wii u does not work in the wii

It looks like it takes the same games.. It should be able to.. My niece has a wii u and my wii resorts game works just fine :)

I think all Wiis are alike . I bought mine new when they came out and a 2nd (used) 8 years later. Should work just fine !!

yes you could im pretty sure, if you have purchased this item already then you would mostly know what im talking about. If you look at your Game Capture HD on the back there is two rows of component inputs on the top row ( if you have the yellow, white, and red cords ) plug them into the top row the yellow goes into the green hole and skip the blue and red ones that are next to the green and you plug in the white and red into the red and white holes that are by them selves. I used this trick for my wii when i was using the hd cords ( that are supposed to be there ) for my dvd player, and it recorded and worked fine. yes you could im pretty sure, if you have purchased this item already then you would mostly know what im talking about.

Every Wii game we tried with it works great (old and new). It doesn't have Internet access, so games that require it wouldn't work.

Yes it can. it also plays on my ps3 andx box. If your Wii has been soft moded it will also play on it.

No. Unfortunately, not. Wii games can only be played on the Wii U with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck controllers. Some of them can also be played with the Wii Classic Controller, but it depends on the game (Check the back cover). I too, have a Wii U and wish I could use my Wii U Pro Controller for playing Wii games...

Wii u games cannot be used on the wii but wii games can be played on the wii u

Technically it is. But you must have a wiimote so you can attach it into it , it's very useful if you got the wiiU and want to play wii games on it

Yes. You can actually still use the old game disk as well, you just have to install the second disk of the set which has all the dlc on it

This is my son's game system and I do not know if older games are compatible. Sorry.

I bought it for the original wii, but you can select whatever format you want by clicking on each format above the product description.

Yes absolutely! Almost everything that was used with the original Wii can be used with the Wii U
