I'm trying to play split screen mode with my son. He is using the game pad and I'm using the pro controller. Every time he uses a button on the game pad it flashes a notification in the middle of the screen that says "Press START to join game". Almost as if it wants to add another player. Other than that everything is fine. Any suggestions on why it it's doing this and how to make it stop? Does it anytime we are doing split screen, local or online.

I play with my son exactly as you describe, and that doesn't happen.
However, I notice that does keep popping up when the pro controller is on but not being used. Do you have a third controller, and is it on?
Also, I think that we downloaded a minor update (there were two downloads when I purchased the game). It may be worth checking the store.
Failing that, it could be worth re-syncing the controller with the wiiU.
