No. All games are region locked much like DVDs are so a console bought in the UK are not going to be able to play US or Canadian games.

The way around that is to mod your Wii, which if done incorrectly can turn it into an expensive paperweight. Some places you may be able to chip it so that it will play all region games.

Can you play DS games on the Nintendo Wii U?

Of course not they are both completely different consoles. I know 3DS is compatible with the DS. And the Wii is compatible with the gamecube. The DS is a handheld and the Wii U is a home console. Hand held and Home console does not mix. The wii u looks as it plays hand held games but it's a home console. The Wii U console needs to stream games to the controller.

No, it will not be, because it will use cartridges rather than discs. However, there is hope that there will be digital content available through the console, so that we can still play older games.
