Howdy...

I have an issue where Mario Kart 8 won't load.  The splash screen comes up and then it just stays there and won't load the game.  I had this problem so I ended up returning the disk to Nintendo.  They sent me a new one.  (Props to Nintendo for a turn around time of under 1 week.)  Now the new one is doing the same thing and there isn't a single mark to be found on the disk.  All other games work fine but this one freezes, and the console is new so it hasn't had time to need a lens cleaning.

Any help is appreciated.

A part of me feels like this is probably a dumb question but I'll ask anyway.  Is there a way to put games on the hard drive instead of putting in a new disk every time I switch games?

Thanks for the answers.  Now for a followup.  1)  Does anyone know the cost of upgrading from ver 1 to ver 2?  Also, once I upgrade to ver 2 are my ver 1 figures now unable to be used?

Does anyone know if you have version 1 of Disney Infinity that you can use characters from version 2?

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a 2nd controller for the Wii U?  Obviously the gamepad comes as the #1 but after that there are several options and I'm not entirely sure which would be the best.  Any recommendations are appreciated.

Hello All

I'm very new to the wii u world, thanks to my 5 year old son.  One strange thing I've noticed is that for some reason games are dramatically cheaper on Amazon than they are anywhere else, whether online or brick 'n mortar.  Am I missing something?  I'm looking to get COD: Ghosts but it's like $25 cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else... so are their other wii u games.  Any input would be most appreciated.
