Can you use the Wii U controller on the original Wii?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Some games can be played with a Wii controller such as New Super Mario Bros U and New Luigi U

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

Yes, the new classic pro Wii controllers will work with the Wii U console.
