Yes, the Wii U is backwards compatible with Wii games. You need to insert a Wii disk, then go into Wii Mode by selecting the option from the Wii U menu. You'll need a Wii controller to use Wii Mode.

No, the Wii cannot play Wii U games. It would be like trying to play a Wii game on the Nintendo GameCube; they're different consoles.

The new Wii U games usually require the new Wii U controller and will be displayed in HD, which the Wii cannot display.

There are several components that the Wii U has (mainly the game pad and graphics card) that the Wii does not.

However, the Wii U is backwards compatible, so the Wii U can play Wii games.

The brand new wii is called the wii u now. And yes the Wii U is fully compatible with the original Wii, but you can not use gamecube controllers as it's not compatible.
