Topic: Stick it to the Man and Shovel Knight problems

Recently I've had a few problems with Stick it to the Man and Shovel Knight. When I play Stick it to the Man on the TV, it's permanently stuck on mind-reading mode so I can't move, only read minds, and if I press the map button while this is happening the map shows up on the TV and the Gamepad gets stuck looking at one part of the mind reading sphere thingy, so this game is only playable on off-TV mode for me. With Shovel Knight, I find that often some of the buttons don't work and it just doesn't respond to my input at all. I've tried rebooting the Wii U multiple times for both of these glitches but it doesn't seem to work. Has anybody else experienced these problems?

My versions works fine, are you using an external hard drive?

I have both games and they work fine for me. I do know that for Stick it, if you point the Gamepad towards the TV, it will enter mind reading mode automatically.

Could be a HDD issue, but if that's not relevant...

Does the touchscreen work? Is there a screen protector or something that may be applying pressure to an area? Try drawing with it and see how acurately it is responding.

Never had any such problems, but it sounds like an issue with the Gamepad, if not storage-related. Either the touchscreen and/or gyro may be out of whack, or poorly calibrated. It also never hurts to check your vents on your console for debris, and make sure there is at least a few ininches (>6, if possible) of clearance between the vents and other objects.

Hey, thanks for all the responses! I just tried both games and they're working fine now. I think my problem with Stick it to the Man is that I was pointing the Gamepad at the TV, thanks sinalefa for suggesting that! I don't know what was up with Shovel Knight but it's fine now so whatever. Again, thanks everybody!

Yes, that's a user interface feature in Stick it to the Man! Hold the Gamepad horizontally for "walk" mode. Hold it vertically for mind reading mode.
