Does this work with the Wii U?

I wish I had the answer, but I don't know if the Wii and the Wii U games are interchangeable. A family member had Wii Sports Resort on their Christmas list as they have the Wii game system.

I'm not sure. If it doesn't state that it works with Wii U in the description, I wouldn't use it on Wii U. Otherwise, it is great on the regular Wii system.

If you google this question, the answer says yes. There are steps to follow, best to google this answer before deciding to buy this game.

Yes it can, but for wii virtual console games, you'll need a classic controller. For Wii U though, it should work with any vc game.

It works only with Wii U games, if you want to use one classic control, you will need the previous classic control.

No it wouldn't. You would have to get an official Gamecube to Wii U adapter

I plugged it in to my Wii U and it recognized it and I was able to transfer data over to it. I have't tried playing off it as I'm going to try to use a Y cable for that.

You can use it with a Wii U yes BUT you cannot just use a single USB cable to hook into it. The hard drive will not receive enough power and the Wii U will complain that it cannot use this Harddrive. What you can do, and it is what I did, is get a Y Adapter Cable (Like this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002W8EDOM/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1). This lets you hook up the drive to two USB ports at once, so that it pulls power from both. So if get that Y Adapter Cable and plug it into the 2 front USB ports on the Wii U, you should be golden.

I just tried to use it on the Wii U to play a Wii game on it and it wouldn't let me.

Sorry for responding so late, but yes it does! It works for all Wii VC games and any other game that requires it. It also works for titles like Wind Waker HD, Mario 3D World, and DKC Tropical Freeze to name a few.

Although I haven't tested it: I read the FAQ page for the wii u on Nintendo's website. This hard drive should work fine the wii u. However, because it doesn't have a dedicated power source, meaning that it powers itself from the wii u, you could experience slower performance. http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wiiu/en_na/system_external_storage.jsp?menu=general_info&submenu=wup-external-usb-storage

Yes. I got this for my kids for Christmas and it is pretty much the same thing as a regular wii but can not connect to wifi. It is also just different color. Plays all the wii games but not wii u games. Hope this helps.

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.

Wii U only, sorry. Wii U games do not work on the Wii. However, Wii games work on the Wii U.

Yes, regular Wii games will work on this nice console. But Wii U games won't work.

It only works on Wii U. You can use Wii games on Wii U console, but you cannot use Wii U games on a Wii console. I hope this helps!
