Is there any way to turn off that flashing blue light on the Wii U game pad? Ever since the system update, the home button flashes if there's a new notification, which is everyday. It unnecessarily drains the battery. I looked under the game pad settings but didn't see any option to turn it off.

Wii U Gamepad won't turn on or charge.
Had my Gamepad sitting on the charging dock while I was playing a game with the pro controller. I went to grab my gamepad and it was off. Tried turning it on, and nothing. Put it back on the charging dock, no light on the battery LED or anything. So I tried the ac adapter port on the top of the gamepad, nothing. Tried different outlets in different rooms, still nothing. I have a second Wii U in the closet as a Christmas present for my sister, so I took the ac charge adapter out of there and tried that, still nothing at all. So I've concluded that it's the gamepad itself. I'm hoping for an easy solution to this instead of sending it to Nintendo, I just got this **** thing. Any help would be great, thanks.

SSB4 Problems
I got SSB4 just for Snapshots and it says an SD Card needs to be inserted. Can someone help? I thought Wii Us don't use SD Cards!

WiiU Error code: 150-1031?
I have three WiiU games and so far out of the three I have, only two of them work. The game I can't get to work is Sonic and Sega All-stars Racing: Transformed. I had one copy of the game disc that would just freeze at the title screen and I went back and exchanged it for another one and now when the game is loading the levels I get at least two to three error codes of: 150-1031 saying the disc is dirty and should be cleaned but the disc itself is spotless. I tried doing a search on Nintendo's website here for the error code but it is not found. Is this the WiiU's issue or the games? Do I have to go back and exchange it for a third copy???

Wii U Memory/Data Questions
Does a Wii U use a sort of SD Memory Card or something similar? If so, what kind? What kind of Data does it save? And where can I get a High Quality one?
If not, what kind of Memory/Save Data options are there?

Super Mario Galaxy 2 crashes Wii U when loaded from USB drive
Pretty much what the topic says. I bought Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the eShop, it downloaded to my USB hard drive, and when I try to load the game here's what happens:
- Screen goes black.
- Gamepad shows white Wii logo briefly, like it does when you run Wii Mode
- After ~10 seconds, the external hard drive clicks off.
- After 2-3 minutes, the Wii U reboots.
I can fix the problem by moving the game to the System Memory, and from there it loads just fine. But the game is 1.4GB, and my system memory is already pretty close to full. Is there any way to fix this? I'd like to buy more Wii games when they become available, but not if I can only run them off the system memory.
Before anyone says "your external hard drive is broken", I have plenty of other Wii U retail, Wii U download only, and Virtual Console games on there now, and they all load just fine.
Any help would be appreciated!

So the Wii U has virtual console now. Is there any way I can download VC games on the Wii U that I purchased on my old Wii? The Wii's serial number is registered to my account, as well as every VC game I downloaded.

Metroid Prime Trilogy download is crashing my system
I just downloaded the Metroid Prime Trilogy to the hard drive of my Wii U. It says that its all ready to go, but when I boot it up, use the wiimote to click "ok" it starts to load (gives me the safety, dont throw your controller into the tv, screen) then just turns off. Is anyone else having this issue? What did you do to fix it?

Controller backward compatibility for Wii VC
I have a concern with the compatibilty of the controllers with the Wii U, specifically the titles of the virtual console of the Wii part of the Wii U (let's call it the "emulated Wii"), and I would need to know what is my best option. Let me explain:
We recently bought a Wii U, which we absolutely LOVE. However, we had and still have our Wii, on which we downloaded Virtual Console (VC) titles of the N64, SNES and NES. One of them is Mario Party 2 on the N64. We enjoy playing this game 4-player, it being a party game. Back on the Wii, we didn't bother buying any classic controllers as we already owned 4 gamecube controllers, which were compatible with all SNES and N64 VC games. Now that we transfered our Wii data over to the Wii U, you can guess we ran into a small issue: our N64 and SNES titles are unplayable, because the Wii U doesn't support GC controllers and its "emulated Wii" does not support the Wii U Pro controller. When I did the transfer, there were absolutely no mention of this, despite many other warnings. I wish there had been, because I would have reconsidered the transfer (which is not reversible).
I understand that the Wii U is not compatible with GC controllers and that it shouldn't be, this is normal and makes sense. What I don't understand is that the VC on the "emulated Wii" of the Wii U doesn't support the new Wii U Pro controller. Because we often play 4-players on both the Wii U, the Wii and their virtual consoles. This would basically require 15 controllers for a single console (1 Gamepad, 4 Wiimotes, 4 Wii U Pro controller and 4 classic controllers), which is completly ridiculous. After searching a bit, I have considered a few options, for which I need further clarification:
1. GC controller to Wiimote adapters by third parties. However, given the fact that when you start a N64 game on the "emulated Wii" it will not start the game if you only have a Wiimote connected, I wonder if these will actually work for my purpose (will the emulated Wii recognize it as a GC/Classic controller or as a Wiimote, since the signal is ultimately sent by the Wiimote?)
2. GC controller to USB adapter by third parties. Again, will these work on VC titles or are they simply good for Wii titles that enables you to use a GC controller (ex Mario Kart Wii). Their descriptions mentions they are compatible with Wii U, but this doesnt mean they are compatible with the Wii part of the Wii U (in fact, can the "emulated Wii" connect to the USB ports at all? ) Further concern: there are only 3 USB ports on the Wii U. Also, the fact that these adapters, as well as the other ones metionned above cost nearly as mush as the Classic Controllers (around 17$) makes me wonder if they're really worth it.
3. Wait for the WiiShop titles to be ported the the eShop and rebuy them at the discounted price. Some of them already are, and it would give me the opportunity to use only the Wii U Pro controllers. However, they come out at a rather slow rate, and so far not a single N64 title. In fact, is there any guarantee from Nintendo that they will port all the Wii Shop VC titles to the eShop?
4. Buy 4 Classic and 3 Wii Pro controllers (we already have one). I really hope I don't have to do this. We just paid for a new console, having to buy 7 controllers is more than ridiculous and certainly not a good marketing strategy. It would have been so easy to make the Wii U Pro controllers compatible with the emulated Wii on the Wii U. The emulated Wii software was already modified from its original Wii counterpart, all that was needed was to remap the buttons to match the classic controller ones (they are exactely the same!). WHY? Has there been any announcement from Nintendo to update the Wii software to make this compatible?
What's your experience with this? Any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
