Yes but it is not recommended to use a wiiu stick. Nintendo themselves have said not to use USB sticks. When playing wiiu games the wiiu is constantly reading and writing which hard disc drives are designed for USB sticks are designed to be read from constantly but not written to constantly so you will drastically reduce the usb sticks lifespan by using it for wiiu games.
