Can this play all wii games?

 

Sort of. As with all emulators, there's some compatibility issues as they optimize the code.

The games I've played (Last Story, Twilight Princess, Xenoblade, Mario Galaxy 1+2, Skyward Sword, Rayman Origins) all work great.

However the main limiting factor is that you need a very good CPU to play most of the games all prettied up and sometimes at all. Generally a 4GHZ+ cpu is is needed to play Twilight Princess or Hyrule Field runs like crap. You also have to do various tweaking for different games.

There are some games that will play on much lesser hardware as they utilize much less of the wii's potential. However, to even approach "all" wii games you need a 4GHZ cpu. This is free, so obviously if you already own the games there's no harm in trying.

And, I'm not sure if you asked this.  The wii-u is way more powerful than the wii, and obviously if the wii is able to just be played on current PC hardware. The wii-u is definetely a ways away even if it uses the same architecture.
