I just recently transferred all of my save data from the Wii to the Wii U, and it's my understanding that data for Virtual Console games on the Wii isn't compatitible with the same VC title downloaded directly onto the Wii U.
However, what I'd like to know is, if I downloaded an original Wii title (example: Super Mario Galaxy) through Virtual Console and then transferred data from the actual Super Mario Galaxy game on my Wii, would I be able to access that data through the VC version on the Wii U? …Or no?

The save files are compatible if you play the original Wii VC game in Wii mode (an option on the Wii U menu for playing Wii games), but not with the upgraded native Wii U VC versions of the games.
