Does this Hard Drive works with Wii U ?

It should be compatible drawing on what Nintendo has for the requirements since they want it to have an external power source which it does and a maximum of 2 TB of memory as well as being a HDD, but you might need to reformat the HDD in your Nintendo menu since Nintendo reports this on their FAQ page: "To optimize performance and ensure a consistent experience, all USB storage devices must be formatted and configured on the Wii U console for exclusive use with the console." Note: I do not have a Nintendo Wii u or a Nintendo Wii so i am unable to provide actual confirmation of compatibility but from what i can read from the Nintendo's website it should be compatible after reformatting and exclusively using for the Wii. Hope this helps and if you need more information I suggest you start at Nintendo and see what are the requirements for using an external hard drive with their equipment and once you do we can tell you if the hard drive has what Nintendo is asking for.

The characters and power up disk work for all different hardware. So if you have a Wii U and get an XBOX and buy the play disk, the characters you have will work for the xbox.

No, this device will only specifically work with Wii U Pro Controllers. But the same manufacturer probably has adapters for those, too!

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.

This is for the original Wii. The Wii version will work on the Wii U, but not vice versa.

Yes you can. Wii U is backwards compatible and plays all Wii games. It is also compatible with all Wii controllers and accessories.

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.

Yes it does, you can play all regular wii games on the wii up game system but you can NOT play the wii u games on the regular wii system

1) I'm sorry, I do not know. 2) Xbox does not really support 3rd party hard drives, I would just buy one thats Microsoft/Xbox branded.

I am using my purchase of this hard drive to digitally download games for the Wii U. I am not sure if it works with windows 8. Its a great product though. no issues so far

No, the Wii U is a totally different system, and therefore has all different hardware, drivers, etc. Same reason this won't work on Playstation

No, it is also compatible with the new Wii U Pro controllers that are similar to XBox controllers. The old Wii controllers also work.

Yup, it'll work. I have the HDMI cable plugged into the adapter and a Wii U, and a attached to a VGA cable plugged into the adapter and a computer monitor. I have an auxiliary cable plugged into the adapter and into an amplifier.So yeah, that's my setup and it works perfectly! As long as you have HDMI and VGA slots it should all work.

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