Can you play the Wii version on the Wii U?

You can enjoy nearly all of the existing Wii games on your new Wii U console. Wii Menu is built in to Wii U. It allows for backwards compatibility with Wii game discs, saved game data, and purchased WiiWare and Virtual Console games on your new Wii U console. Although, Wii games cannot be controlled with the Wii U Game Pad. You must use the Wii controllers to play.

Yes, you can play the Wii version on the Wii U. The Wii U is backwards compatible with all Wii titles.

Hi M.J., I'm not entirely sure why it says 'almost' all Wii games. The Wii U actually has a Wii menu. When you select this Wii menu from the Wii U home screen, it looks exactly as the original Wii's home menu does. From here, you are able to play any Wii games you have, so long as you have the Wii remote and/or nunchuk that are required for the specific game because the Wii U gamepad cannot be used as a controller for original Wii games. Also, according to Nintendo's website, Wii games will not display in HD on the Wii U console, just as they wouldn't on the original Wii. So overall you should not have a problem playing any of your Wii games on the Wii U as long as they are not scratched or damaged too badly. Hope this helps.

No, Wii U games will only work on the Wii U. The hardware inside the system is very different, so the publisher would need to create a separate Wii version. Unfortunately it looks like there will be very few new games available for the original Wii at this point.

Yes. Just plug it in the GameCube ports on the top of the Wii. Just be sure that your Wii has the ability to play/use GameCube games and/or controllers before buying.

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.

It depends on what you are going for. My friends have played Super Smash Brothers Brawl with a third party adapter on the wii U. They were able to use this control to play on the wii U. I suggest looking up the, iirc, mayflash adapter for the wii U.

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.

You will need to get a WiiU (which I highly recommend) in order to play it.

Yes, it will work with the Wii U provided the audio output is LPCM. From what I have read, most current games for the Wii support LPCM audio output.David

You can use it with your Wii U, you just have to resync it to the Wii U and vice versa.
