I've beat these games since I bought my Wii U last March:
Pandora's Tower
Xenoblade Chronicles(for a 2nd time)
Sin and Punishment
Little King's Story
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
The Last Story
There's also games like No More Heroes and Arc Rise Fantasia that I still want to play
I wish the console wasn't BC though. Its terribly executed. Going into Wii mode is annoying and I can't even buy Wii games on the eShop. Playing Wii games on the gamepad feels weird to me too ....please fix this Nintendo so I can enjoy the my Wii backlog as much as I'm enjoying playing DS games on my XL.
Why not just get a Wii then? You can get a new one for like $100 or a used one for even less.
I had a Wii but its not at my house right now. I think my younger brother took it with him to college or its still at my parents. It would be a waste of cash getting one since the Wii U can play Wii games.
Four more months until Bayonetta 2.

I had a wii, then i sold it, but the cash went toward a wiiu. I can still play my wii games and wiiu games too, which is really nice. PS4 and X1 aren't BC, so that's a crying shame. I use BC quite often, because i like to sell older systems for newer ones that are BC.

Blue blue.
It was explained better then I could how the memory block usage is quite minimal.
Just as important though: Most Wii units shipped with a composite cable that provides about the worst signal. You could upgrade to a composite out that you bought separately that provided a better picture, but the HDMI out from the Wii U simply provides the cleanest picture and sound possible.
Technically, the signal gains no new information from the upgraded signal, but the HDMI is lossless and crisp. More importantly, most people did NOT upgrade to the superior component cable and going from the old yellow composite cable to the HDMI out is a very noticeable upgrade in signal quality.
Composite - If you're still using this...you should definitely switch to Wii mode on the Wii U.
Component - better signal, best you can get with Wii alone
I do sometimes, mainly DS on 3DS, occasionally Wii on WiiU. Loved the GC on Wii, but I finely decided to bust out the old custom platinum GC I had painted with Zelda and Metroid themes. A buddy did it.
I actually thought I would use the Wii compatibility more than I actually do. The first half year after the Wii U purchase I used the compatibility feature quite a lot, but now it's mostly Wii U games I play. It's a great feature to have though, and I hope to get the time to complete Zelda: Twighlight Princess in the future.
All the time. I did the Wii to Wii U transfer and have a ton of Wii games I still haven't beaten yet...
Skyward Sword...
The Conduit...
Monster Hunter Tri...
The Last Story...
Xenoblade Chronicles...
Super Paper Mario...
Call of Duty MW3...
On my 3DS, I'll still buy DS games on occasion and I still play
Dragon Quest IX...
Izuna 2...
Heck, My Wii still gets loving with it's Gamecube backwards compatibility and I bought the Lego Star Wars games for it the other day.
I don't argue for backwards compatibility for nothing...
I own a PS1, GBA, GBA SP, Wii (GCN), 360, 3DS, PC (Laptop), Wii U, and PS4.
I used to own a GBC, PS2, and DS Lite
All the time for me. I have an original 3ds and i stay with a DS cartridge in the game slot. All my 3ds gaming is done from the games i downloaded from the eshop.
Yep i used it to play all the rpgs i missed on Wii, now i'm slowly going through other gems i may have missed. I owned a Wii but it didnt get that much play outside of multiplayer sessions and i missed alot of games as i wasn't really following every release.
I actually sold my PS4 because it was collecting dust and my PS3 was getting more games i liked (I prefer Japanese games), in the last few months i picked up Jojo's Bizzare adventure ,Gundam extreme vs full burst, J Stars victory and i'm waiting Tales of Xillia 2 & Gundam Reborn to be released soon.
IMO backward compatibility is awesome and even though i tend to hold on to all my consoles its a headache reconnecting old wired consoles just to play one or two games. My PC can play games from 20 years ago and i'd like my consoles to do the same .
Exactly the reason why I still have not pick up the PS4. Oh yeah don't forget to pickup Ace combat infinity. It's free on PSN and it is quite fun.
Nintendo fan since 6 years of age.

Never use it at all. Something they shouldnt have even bothered with. Think without BC in mind, they could have made some better decisions hardware wise and could have saved some money. It really wasnt needed.
All the time. Getting rid of it would be a silly decision that wouldn't benefit gamers at all.
