Do original Wiimotes work on WiiU?

So guys, seeing how my WiiU is arriving on Friday, I thought I better ask this now. Do the original Wiimotes without the built in Motion+ work on WiiU? I have a few of these along with the Motion+ accessory attachments that I had with Wii, but I don't have any of the newer ones with it. Do the originals work on WiiU or does it require the newer ones?

yes...you don't need motion plus..

the wiiu and wii menus can be navigated with regular wiimotes...and i play call of duty with a regular wiimote...

They work - used my regular Wii Motes to play NSMBU.

I own two Wii U's.

Wiimotes and Wiimotes with Motion PLUS both work.

/End.

the original wiimotes will work, but some games in Nintendo Land require the motion plus. my advice, get the motion plus wiimotes

Especially since any Wii Mote you find in stores now has it built in.

actually I bought an orignal used Wiimote from gamestop on black friday. that's how I found out about some Nintendo Land games requiring the motion plus. It had a rubber casing and I assumed it was a motion plus. needless to say I exchanged it the next day
