I don't think so at the moment, I'm sure it will come at some point.

You can do exactly that. If you go into Wii mode, you can access the old Wii shop as you would have on an original Wii. In fact, I transferred my Wii settings over, which included some Wii Shop points, and as far as I can tell those points can only be used in the Wii Shop and do not appear in the new Wii U eShop..
