Is this possible? I have like 4-5 games and I find it extremely annoying to have to 1) eject disc 2) place in case 3) pick new game 4) take out of tray 5) insert disc 6) load 7) play. Any way to copy the game from the disc in the wiiU's drive or anything like that. ONLY legal solutions please, thanks!
playing games without the hassle of changing discs ?

You buy them digitally instead of physical. There's no other LEGAL way to do it.

I don't want to burst your bubble, but no gaming console in the history of forever has done that legally, not sure why you thought that'd change here.
Downloaded games are tied to the Wii U they're downloaded on for now.

Well, I don't think that expecting something like that to happen is a bad thing. Anyway, if it can't be done, it can't be done. thanks for the replies

Well LEGALLY They'd have no way of knowing what happened to your discs if they let you claim a download based on you owning the disc and the disc working on its own.wow that's bad. So i cannot even copy/ back up my LEGALLY bought discs to an external hard drive and load them from there? pfffff.
Another question, Can I play a game i have digitally downloaded on another console?
Also, it's not just the only legal option, but the only one, as there's no piracy available for the Wii U yet, only the Virtual Wii.
No you can't play a digital download on another console.

Now I did post on this but don't know what happen to it.
But basically as others said no. And stop being lazy lol.
Really tho I play one game at a time so it's not that bad. Play the game for a few hrs then put it up.

1. Games cannot be copied to the hard drive. Consoles that do this still need you to insert the disk so it will play. 2. Digital downloads cannot be transferred to another console, but Nintendo will make exceptions if your Wii U broke.

The Xbox 1 was going to be able to do this, but then everyone realised it would require constant DRM.

Kids these days. Would not last when we back in the day played epic RPGs and had multiple discs for a single game. Lost a disc or scratched one you were boned. Or heck when we had password systems instead of saves and drew our own maps for games. Come on man changing a disc is no inconvenience.
Unless you turned into these guys
