I am pretty sure all the Wii Shop Channel VC games will be able to transfer to your Wii U.  It wouldn't make sense otherwise and would really piss off a lot of people.  I believe I heard that the Miiverse intergration on Wii U and 3DS will bring this or something like that.  I am still waiting to play my VC games that I bought on the Wii on the 3DS.  They are already offering a few NES games on the 3DS eshop that I already purchased on the Wii.  I will not buy the same damn game twice.  To think Nintendo would shit on its consumers when they have full detail of what you bought on your Wii through your Club Nintendo account makes zero sense to me.  Long onto the Wii U eshop and enter your Club Nintendo account information.  Anyways, here is an article pretty much stating what I am trying to say.

http://wiiudaily.com/2012/09/transfer-wiiware-and-virtual-console-games-to-wii-u/

"If you have purchased a lot of games on Nintendo’s WiiWare and Virtual Console service for the original Wii, you’re in luck. Nintendo has confirmed that players will be able to transfer their old downloads to the Wii U."

So TomaTito is very misinformed.

Yeah, that's the only reason I havn't put my Wii up for sale. I'm waiting to transfer my content first.

You can transfer Wii content to your Wii U, but those will run in legacy mode, meaning they aren't Wii U content.

Hopefully Nintendo will update at least their Wii VC to Wii U (WiiWare is impossible), but I guess it won't be ready at launch

EDIT: And at the footnote of the ddp website:

Rules: Earn approximately 10% of the price paid at the Nintendo eShop for games and content. Earn approximately 10% of the Nintendo eShop MSRP on download codes purchased at retailers. Both games published by Nintendo and by other publishers are eligible for Points. Games and content purchased at the Wii Shop Channel or on Nintendo 3DS are not eligible for Points. Points are only earned on purchases over 10 cents and at 10 cent increments. Owners of the Wii U Basic Set do not qualify for Deluxe Digital Promotion

Wii Shop will have a section on the eShop, just like DSiWare does on the 3DS.
