According to Nintendo's site:

"After the launch of the Wii U Virtual Console service, Wii owners who own Virtual Console games and transfer their data to Wii U will be eligible for a special reduced price for each game, applied when they purchase the upgraded Wii U version of those games on the Nintendo eShop. The reduced price will be $1.00 per NES title and $1.50 per Super NES title.

* The regular price of Wii U Virtual Console NES and Super NES games are same as the Wii Virtual Console price.

* The reduced price of Wii U Virtual Console games will automatically be displayed on the Nintendo eShop, unique to each user based on their Wii Virtual Console library.

* Games purchased at the special reduced price are worth 9 points per NES title and 14 points per SNES title in the Deluxe Digital Program. Point value subject to change.

Prices do not include tax."

...There's no mention of N64 games. Can you update those to play on gamepad too or no?

Wii U eShop games will offer features including save states (similar to 3DS), the option to play entirely on the GamePad and the ability to post to Miiverse.

Gotta love Ninty

"Wii U’s Virtual Console won’t offer all of the Wii’s Virtual Console library to start, but will begin with NES and SNES games."

Oh so it seems that hopefully N64 games will come later I guess. That's cool, hopefully it will come fairly soon after the launch.

Yep, they'll update it as it goes along, eventually we'll be playing gamecube games on the toilet.
