Can you play all the virtual console titles using the game pad? Or do you need the game pad? Thanks in advance to you guys in USA as this will help me decide what bundle to buy
So is it possible to download any VC games yet? Or a date they look set to come?
Yes, you can download them. On the menu, there is an icon to switch to "Wii Mode". It essentially boots up an emulator of the Wii. Using the Wii Shop channel there, you can purchase and download Wii VC games. Note that Wii Mode does not support the gamepad, so you must use a Wii remote to download VC games, and you need a classic controller to play most of them.

So these can only be played via a wii remote with a classic controller plugged in?
Or will the wii u pro controller allow you to play the VC games
Wii Mode does not support any Wii U controllers such as the Pro Controller, so no. You do need a classic controller for nearly all the games. Of course, Nintendo is likely to change this with a firmware update in the future, but don't expect it anytime soon.
