No. The Nintendo 3DS has it's own selection of 3DS games but it can still play Nintendo DS and DSi games. Also, the Nintendo eShop has a Virtual Console which allows you to play games from the NES, N64 and GameBoy.
All Wii Virtual Console and WiiWare games are playble on the Wii U by launching into the Wii Menu. (This can be selected from the Wii U menu.) From the Wii Menu, you will have access to the Wii Shop channel and its full library. As well, if you currently have a Wii, all your virtual console and WiiWare titles can be transferred to your Wii U.
In general, no; the 3DS will almost definitely never have console games on its Virtual Console service because the Wii already has those covered. Still, 3D Classics--games that are remade with 3D graphics--may be console games, as Excitebike was.
No, the Nintendo 3DS and the Gameboy are completely different handheld console systems.
No, The Legend of Zelda is only available on Nintendo systems, and is a Nintendo exclusive. You can get Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64, on the Nintendo GameCube (The Legend of Zelda: Master Quest, and The Legend of Zelda: Collector’s Edition), on the Nintendo Wii (Virtual Console), and on the Nintendo 3DS.
Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DSI.
No, Kirby's Dream Land 2 cannot be played on a DS. It can, however, be played on a 3DS, as it's downloadable from the 3DS' Virtual Console.
