It depends on which remote you are refering to.

The Wii Motion Plus controller and the classic Wii Remote will work on the Wii and Wii U. The Wii U gamepad will not work on the original Wii.

The Classic Controller and the Pro Controller are two different controllers. The Wii Classic Controller plugs into the Wii Remote while the Wii U Pro Controller is a wireless controller by itself.

Both controllers are compatible for the Nintendo Wii U system, however, this depends on what game you are playing. Not all games are compatible with the Classic Controller, and there tends to be more Wii U games compatible with the Pro Controller.

No. The Wii U is an entirely new console. What you're asking is the same as asking if you can use a PlayStation 3 controller on the Dreamcast.
