Yes, my Wii Remote and nun-chuck works great on the Wii U and is one of the main alternative controlling options for most Wii U games.

I don't think so. This was a gift for my nephews but they are happy with it as an upgrade.

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

That is not a Wii console (last generation) that is the Wii U console (current generation). The Controller is the pad on the left in the picture with the Wii U logo on the screen. So just to be clear this does not include a Wii this is a new console called the Wii U. It will play Wii games, but will not play the Gamecube games like the Wii was able to do.

yes it does, as long as you guys have a gamecube controller adaptor (sold separately from the wii u, I think)

No, for that, you need a Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro. Or better yet, a Gamecube Controller Adapter for Wii Remote.

Nope! It's the receiver is built into the Wii U just like Xbox and Sony have done

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

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.

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.

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.

I don't have a classic controller - I use the normal wimote with a zapper attachment, but I assume that it would work with the classic -- and I had no problems as mentioned by kimpritis (my wii is about 5 years old).

It doesn't it connects right to the system wirelessly or via USB cable that comes with it..its a great controller I use for most all the games..Wii U is a great system

Yes it is compatible with both, the back of any Wii U game box will also give you this info

If the controller connects into the Wii Remote, then I would assume so. IF you are talking about the new controllers modeled after Gamecube Controllers, then they should definitely work, since they act like classic controllers.

Yes it does. Just follow normal syncing steps. It took a few attempts but it worked on my original wii.

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