I have never owned a wii before and recently got a wii u. I am interested in playing mario kart wii on my wii u. I noticed the wii has a wheel to put the controller in. Is it only motion played or could I play using just the dpad and buttons on my wii u?

Mario Kart Wii can be played with Wiimote + Nunchuck, Standalone Wiimote & Classic Controller IIRC.

It does not support WiiU controllers or accessories though. (e.g the GamePad, WiiU Pro Controller).

You can play alternatively with the nunchuck for steering but not the d-pad

Mario Kart Wii had a controller setting to use the Nunchuck(with no motion controls) if that's what you want. and if you have the Classic Controller(or the Classic Controller Pro) you could use it too.

in this case I'd recommend to wait for MK8 looks like it'll be even better.

I don't have a WiiU but I can answer this one. sadly yes, only Wii controllers can be used to play Wii games on the WiiU so you have to get them
