Nintendo has confirmed that all Wii digital content won’t make use of the GamePad. That means you won’t be able to play Virtual Console (or WiiWare) titles on the controller.

Damn, I was looking forward to replaying VC and WiiWare games on the Gamepad.
Must be a BC issue, but the Wii games can do it, right? No excuse!
UPDATE: Original quote

Wii, WiiWare, and Virtual Console games will be supported on Wii U much the same way that GameCube titles were supported on Wii, without any special features or GamePad support. In an interview with Nintendo of America, they stated that the Virtual Console transfer process was not confirmed to be available at launch, and would require both systems to be present and an SD card. The transfer process works much in the same way the DSi to 3DS process works today. |

Reading the original source.. it says that Wii retail games won't support Gamepad either?? huh? I thought it was already confirmed?!
*Changes title from Wii digital only to Wii in general*
