There are many types of "adapters" for a wide variety of purposes; it would be helpful to know what type of adapter you though the Wii might need. It needs, for example, its power adapter to receive power. If you were wondering about network access, the Wii has its own wireless card, so you do not need any sort of adapter if you have a wireless router. If you want to use Ethernet, however, you will need a USB LAN adapter.

Yes and no. The Nintendo Wii U console itself does not need a charger but requires electricity to run. Therefore a powerbar is needed to be connected at all times while using the Wii U.

The GamePad is portable and runs on batteries. Therefore, the GamePad will require a charger

Yes. The Wii U will come with a charger in the box. The Wii U GamePad needs a charger but the actual system will just be plugged into an outlet.
