You can play all Wii games on the Wii U as long as you have the wii remote. You cannot play Wii games on the Wii U gamepad, though.

It can be played quite easily with a keyboard and mouse. I don't own a gamepad, so I don't know if using that makes it any better or worse, but a keyboard and mouse works just fine:)

This game CAN be played on the Wii U.The "Wii U" is the newest game console from Nintendo. It much more powerful and plays a whole different set of games. The "Wii U" can play all "Wii" games. But the "Wii" can NOT play "Wii U" games. "Wii" is to "Wii U" as "PlayStatoin 2" is to "PlayStation 3"

Yes... the Wiimote and the nunchuck can be used to play. Personally, I think it's easier to play with them and not use the Gamepad due to the motion commands and button layout.

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

NO! The initial Donkey Kong Returns works fine on a Wii U, since Wii U plays Wii's games, but NOT vise versa. So, since this is a game for Wii U it CANNOT be played to a Wii console.

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!

It looks great on Wii U but I'm sure it looks a little better on PS4 so if you have both systems I would suggest PS4.

Not even a little. All wii games can be played on wii u but not the other way around.

Perhaps. There are GameCube controller adapters such as Mayflash Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii/Wii U that supposedly will allow you to play on the Wii U. I haven't tried one.The Wii U does not have GameCube ports, and games released on the Wii U aren't made with the GameCube control scheme in mind.

Is this an actually question or are you just trolling.... There is never an instance where I could choose the Wii U over the PS4.... ever....

It works with a Wii just fine. It won't work with a Wii-U because there aren't any controller ports, but it works with a Wii.
