You can download games that were released on the Wii shop.They will play as they originally played on the Wii.I don't remember if the Gamecube controller was supported for virtual console games.The Gamecube adapter works only with Super Smash Bros for Wii U.

If Wii Mode in Wii U is functionally equivalent to an actual Wii (without GameCube controllers), which is what I heard, then you would need a Classic Controller for SNES and N64 games. I think all the other consoles supported the Remote alone (if I remember right, Genesis VC games supported the Remote but it was still recommended to use the CC to get a proper button layout.)
(and depending on the game, you might be better off using a CC than a GameCube controller anyways)
