Or can I just insert old wii discs inside the wii u?

you can use disc. The Wii U will then boot into Wii Mode and you can play them there. You can even download WiiWare games in Wii Mode too.

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

Ah I see. I havent heard much talk about people playing metroid prime 3 corruption that was originally on wii on the wii u. Can you play it that game on the wii u? Along with resident evil 4?

@radagasttt: Yes. As far as I know. All Wii games work on Wii U.

@radagasttt: Some Wii games purchased on the eShop that use the classic controller can be played off TV with the Wii U gamepad. (Xenoblade Chronicles was amazing like this!)

It's also possible to rip all your Wii games to an external hdd and play them via the virtual Wii on your Wii U, but you do have to make some 'unauthorised' modifications to the system software for that to work.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.
