Hoping that someone can help or tell me what I'm doing wrong. I just downloaded the game through my bundle code (actually just bought the Wii U specifically FOR this game.) Downloaded the update, fired it up and started playing. Did the little 5 second run through the tutorial level before the "looks like someone didn't finish the course" message pops up to lead you into the actual building/making portion of the tutorial. One big problem--my gamepad virtually stops working at this point. Up and down work on the D-Pad and Joystick and the touchscreen works and that is literally it. Mario/the camera does not move right. Start and select does nothing. The shoulder buttoms do nothing. A, B, X & Y do nothing.
Some other observations that hopefully help guide me towards an answer/resolution:
I am able to move the camera if I use a Wii Remote. The second I press anything on the Wii U Gamepad, Mario moves all the way back to the beginning of the level without me touching anything.(He technically moves past the start of the level until he is as far as he can go to the left part of the screen.)
The joystick gives off the impression that it is stuck to the left, but I assure you it is not. It works for other games, it works for menu navigation and it worked for that 5 second "play" at the beginning of the tutorial of Super Mario Maker itself (I can freely move him left or right and the buttons to run and jump work just fine.) Only when I enter the builder/maker mode of the tutorial does this issue start.
Since none of the buttons work, the only way I can exit the tutorial is by doing a hard close of the game itself.
I've restarted the game and my Wii U several times to no avail. Same issue everytime. Can anyone please help so I can finally start enjoying the game?
Thanks!
