You might have read about an unofficial branch of Dolphin with Wii U support - don't get your hopes up. While the PowerPC architecture in the WiiU is the same as the Wii and GC (this fact alone was the reason why Wii emulation was added to Dolphin, originally GC-only), this support is nothing more than the file viewer features (region, internal name, various info, list of files and folders inside ISO and a way to extract them) being expanded to Wii U disc images. Nothing has been done on the actual emulation front and the Dolphin devs have said that they're not going to add Wii U support to Dolphin.

The Nintendo Wii U

The Wii U is an eighth-generation console released by Nintendo in 2012. It is the first console by Nintendo to output to high-definition (HD) resolutions, such as 720p and 1080p. It includes a tablet-like controller, known as the Wii U GamePad, to provide certain additional gameplay. Notably, it can play all Wii games, as well as supporting the Wii Remote controllers for native Wii U games.

Emulators

THERE ARE NO EMULATORS THAT CAN RUN COMMERCIAL GAMES PLAYABLY YET.

Emulation issues

We have no way to know for sure when will this console be hacked or when it would be released because the console is not even hacked yet to a degree that people can look and test stuff and tell for sure, let alone for a full emulator to be written.

You might have read about an unofficial branch of Dolphin with Wii U support - don't get your hopes up. While the PowerPC architecture in the WiiU is the same as the Wii and GC (this fact alone was the reason why Wii emulation was added to Dolphin, originally GC-only), this support is nothing more than the file viewer features (region, internal name, various info, list of files and folders inside ISO and a way to extract them) being expanded to Wii U disc images. Nothing has been done on the actual emulation front and the Dolphin developers have said that they're not going to add Wii U support to Dolphin.
