Wii Virtual Console games will transfer over and be playable on Wii U. In an interview with ABC News, Nintendo Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing Scott Moffitt revealed that users would be able to transfer over their Wii Virtual Console games. These games would retain their original display resolution, as they do on the original Wii.
That's probably good, cause I won't be needing to do transfers and stuff.
I'm not planning on getting a Wii U before than 1/5 years from now, so I won't be having problems with eShops and such when I get my hands on one hopefully.
Maybe now is a good time to make a list of virtual console games I wanted in my Wii, so I can get them, in my new console I will get as soon as the right time comes.

Think they're just covering bases or that actually means something. Whats more important to me is HOW! I have my games saved and my club nintendo account but no more wii
I'd have to imagine that the games will transfer over and just work within the confines of whatever the new emulators can do (save states and what have you).
Would REALLY like to get a glimpse at the kind of dashboard that the WiiU will have.
A bit of advice to everyone: Don't go selling your Wii just yet. You'll probably need it to transfer over the games to your Wii U, just like with the DSi and the 3DS.
Cool. After 3DS, I thought they would be, but it's nice to see it confirmed. So if I keep my Gamecube, do I need a Wii now? Gamecube controller support in Brawl and other such games would be the only reason that I can think of to keep it.
It's funny, because it's a feature that I personally "demanded," but I still half-expected them to weasel their way out of it. If they are trying to instill our trust in digital downloads, it's a necessity. We have to feel like we own our games, even if we don't have a physical copy.
Going by the 3DS precedence, I'll say that no, the WiiWare games (i.e. the only transfers that matter) will not be transferred to WiiU. Prove me wrong Nintendo.

What do you mean by that? With a couple exceptions because of licensing or something, most DSiWare is transferrable to 3DS...
