You can't play with the nunchuck, in other words, motion controls. Gotta remember that the Wii U version originated from the 3DS version. The 3DS one doesn't have motion controls, and I highly doubt the devs would want to bother updating the Wii U's with Wii's motion controls.

That said, you can still use the Wii's Classic Controllers.
