Did you change the batteries?
I wish there was an emoticon for me punching you.
Hmm makes me wounder if nat wii remotes are in sync.
That was my second thought, after trying all of the different Wii-motes to make sure they all had the same problem. I re-synced them. It didn't make a difference.
I have three Wii-motes. They all do it.
It sounds like the problem is probably your system then. The only problem I've had with VC games is my hand touching the trigger on the bottom of the remote.
Does that cause the behavior I described? If so, then it's very likely that is what was going on. But I thought the trigger button on the bottom was inactive for VC games.
