Don't quote me on this but: Just like how the Wii went into "Gamecube Mode" and virtually none of the Wii's features were accessible, I think the Wii U goes into "Wii Mode" where it pretty much mimics a Wii with absolutely nothing added. The price you pay for flawless backwards compatibility but I hear it can potentially be fixed with a patch OR a Wii U compatible version of the Virtual Console.

Unfortunately, knowing Nintendo, you'll likely have to pay for your content a second time.

Yepp flawless backwards compadibility indeed.

Also, apparently you cna transfer your VC titles from your Wii to WiiU.

Will need an internet connection to do it though.

What they also said in their direct video was that the VC games will be accessible by all user accounts on the console.

back to topic, I hope they too release an update to play my VC games on the gamepad.


Yeah, that's what I was talking about.  I saw it mentioned that there would possibly be a version of the VC that allowed for play on the Wii U gamepad.  I just hope they let us update our existing games (if this happens) instead of making us by enhanced Wii U versions of games we bought on the Wii VC.  They have allowed 3DS games to be updated free of charge so who knows?  But Nintendo has historically managed to get big bucks out of there older titles.  If you knew how many times I've purchased different versions of Nes/Snes 2D Mario games, you'd slap me.
