Can you use the Wii U gamepad? Or do you have to use a wheel?

It supports every controller but the balance board. Gamepad, Wiimote (wheel) wiimote (no wheel) wiimote+ nunchuck, pro controller, classic controller, classic controller pro all work.

Yes, you can use the Wii U's gamepad. Alternatively, you can also use the Wii U's regular pro controller, and the Wii's classic controller and Wii remote.

You can use gamepad, pro controller, wii remote (with or without wheel), or classic controller (and pro).

It should also be noted that you can use a Gamecube controller as well with the Mayflash adapter (and of course Nintendo is releasing the official adapter with Smash Bros. later this year).edit: Mayflash Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii/Wii U

Yes. I use this game with my Wii U, balance board, and controller with nunchuk.

This is only compatible with the Wii U. You will need to get a Classic Controller to hook into the Wii Remote to get a similar experience on the Wii.

You can use the standard controller but it would be awesome to have the steering wheel! �

I just had my son test it. You can NOT use the game pad you need a Wii remote

Definitely not !!. The Wii U Pro controller is an ADDITIONAL controller to play with a friend or family toghether or to play shooter games in a more comfortable way. It is lighter and smaller than gamepad. The only negative thing....: no sound output, you have to hear it directly from gamepad.

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.

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...

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

Some areas of the game require the gamepad. When you encounter those areas, the game will tell you how to switch controllers.

I don't know if work for wii u, but you can play xenoblade with the classic control. By the way the best RPG of the wii generation.

no. it's a xbox 360 controller that can also be used as a gamepad for your computer.

I play with the regular xbox controller and I love it. Why would you need a steering wheel? Just use your normal controller...

You can still use it with your Wii U. You will just have to resync it to the Wii U using the sync buttons on the console and controller.

I do not know. As I have a same gamepad long ago (which I bought with $4), the driver has already been installed to my PC. So I can use this one directly without installing the driver.

It uses an accelerometer, but I've seen setups where people attached it to the column of other steering wheels. The accelerometer is alright, in my opinion. It's not a high end wheel since no feedback, but it's nicer to use than a gamepad, or worse, mouse and keyboard. As for games, I tried it out with F1 2013, F1 2014, TDU2, Race 07, GTR Evolution, and DiRT 3, and they all worked fine after setting the controls to what I wanted.

Yes, we have the Wii u. I think you can use Wii games on the Wii U but not the other way around.
