Just got a Wii U

[shane3x]

I has a few wii u questions if anyone is able to help (not really knowing where to ask these lol).
With the original GBA games/consoles, you could do a hard reset of the game by pressing certain buttons at the same time. Is there a hard or soft reset of games used within the Virtual Console on the Wii U for GBA games?

This next question is about controller compatability with games. For example on the Nintendo land box it shows the gamepad (obviously) and then it shows a wii mote for additional players. Some games in Nintendo land require the motion gameplay (for example the Zelda/Link game) however many others solely use the D-pad and buttons without specifically needing the motion gameplay.

For those games (Nintendoland or others) are you able to use like classic controllers, pro controllers etc.. for those instances where motion gameplay isnt used at all? None of the boxes or manuals make it clear whether it has to be specifically be a wii mote in all instances or just those where motion gameplay is required.
Thanks for anyone who actually read this and/or can help

Sorry for the late response, but this did pop up so I'll try to answer it.

1. For Gameboy games, if you exit without shutting down the console it will save the state but if you quit the game by shutting off the console it won't and the game will restart on next launch. Resetting the game, aling with restore points, can be done through the VC menu which is access by tapping on the touchscreen or pressing a preconfigured button (by default one of the right triggers)

2. I don't fully understand that question, but many games do support the Pro Controller (like a traditional gamepad) along with the Wii remotes and Gamepad. it does vary from game to game, but generally games that are played with the Gamepad can use the Pro controller instead unless touch is required.

3. Nintendoland does require Wii remotes, but on the rest it does vary. Games like Smash and Kart support all setups (with Smash also supporting Gamecube games), but third-party games can be hit-or-miss (such as Lego Batman 2 requiring Wii remote+nunchuck when a pro controller would be better)
