The Wii U is only backwards compatible with the Wii (being one generation back). It's NOT backwards compatible with Gamecube games & accessories as it's 2 generations back.
If you want to enjoy your Gamecube games, you'll have to use either a Gamecube or an original Wii.

The Wii U can play Wii games, but not Nintendo GameCube games.
