I think you play Wii games in Wii mode and have to use the Wiimote

This. The Gamepad does not work with Wii Mode at all. You must use a Wii Remote and Nunchuck to play the game. Also the game runs fine. All Wii games run fine on it.

@J12088: As others have said, it will be emulating a Wii so thoroughly that the game won't recognize the Wii U gamepad. No Wii games can be played with the Wii U gamepad.

That's a shame. Oh well. Thanks.
