I used to have this exact problem for a couple months about a year ago and then it just stopped happening. I can't tell you how I fixed it because I still don't know how it got fixed, but maybe if you just wait it out a bit it might fix itself as well, but of course, there's no promising it will fix itself for you. Also, strangely enough, Xenoblade Chronicles was the one game that worked for for me as well. It wouldn't work for Super Paper Mario, Skyward Sword, or Super Mario Galaxy 2, which I think are the only games I tried it with. But yeah, mine is working perfectly fine, so I have no idea what happened.

Wierd. But that sort of confirms my suspicion that this is a software bug and not a Hardware fault though, wich means it might get fixed in a sneaky update by Nintendo. (Hopefully they will, even though they don't really support the WiiU anymore...)

Glad to hear that it fixed itself for you though!

I'm going to try and move some Wii games from my external harddrive to my system storage. Maybe Wii Mode has trouble connecting to it? If that fails I'm either calling Nintendo, or just hoping that it fixes itself, like it did for you.

Yeah, I think it would be best to call Nintendo to see if they can fix it, but they would likely charge you for the repair, which might be a problem.  I kind of just ignored it for awhile, because at the time I had a Wii to fall back on whenever I felt like playing any Wii games.
