The rocky movement could be because your far away from your sensor bar, it goes like that with mine as my soffas pretty far from the sensor bar, just try sitting closer, and as for the controller I can't help you there sorry

like 3 feet close?

Was Just a suggestion dude

no haha im being serious is it normal for it to go out of range after 3-4 feet

Hi I'm not all that sure whether I have a problem with the sensor bar or the wiimote. Evererything appears to be perfectly fine apart from when I have to move forwards or backwards (for example baseball, tennis, bowling etc.) any ideas?

When I setup the Wii at my aunt's house on Christmas Eve I too noticed that once you go past a certain distance the Wiimote just struggles to communicate with the Wii's Sensor Bar. At her house, with the Sensor Bar on top of the tv, it was about 8-10 feet.

im getting the WiiConnect24 error code 110213. My brothers Wii can connect and update fine and get on the internet through our linksys router. This error i have happened right after i did teh first update and it restarted. Do i have to send mine back?

p.s. both consoles are from launch day. we camped out

It not a problem, just a general question, didn't know where else to put it.

Can the Nintendo USB Wifi dongle be used with anything else other than the Wii & DS. I've seen descriptions of third party dongles been able to let other devices to connect, and was wondering is this apples with the Nintendo USB or if it can only be used with the Wii & DS.

i think so

the dongle is made by Buffalo, check their website, they have one which have the same shape, and if you check the "Nintendo" USB dongle, it's written "powered by Buffalo" on it, because Buffalo made that thing FOR Nintendo with their logo.

but i bet you can use any kind of USB Wi-Fi dongles around, it'll just detect the Wi-Fi connection as it detect a wireless router.

Our wii locked up . Sounds like a common problem Nintendo is sending me a new one in three days I hope they have fixed thier problem . Let me know if anyone knows how to fix it .

Heya

So, at launch I managed to get a Wii from a bundle deal. Played it, had no problems. Good 40 hours of Zelda before I put it away for a bit. Recently, thanks to Christmas, I managed to pick up a few more games. Thing is, anything other than Zelda it will not play. I can get a few Excite Truck races going before It locks up, Red Steel doesnt make it past the Wii Strap menu, and Elebits merely lets me start story mode before it locks up.

What I cant figure out is, since Zelda seemed to work fine, is it the games or the Wii's problem?

if you have strange problems with your Wii, just tell Nintendo or the store where you bought it.

you can register your Wii on "My Nintendo", on the Nintendo website, for a whole 1-year Warranty, for free!

I'm having a problem with what i believe to be rendering of graphics... when i start or play zelda twilight the characters i perform with seem to have spasmatic body changes as i go or w/e.. also in boxing it will often come to a hardboiled view of my gloves and lock up... also on other games i have certain problems... i recorded a video which i attached at the end to help show the problem i have (the encoder made the sound buggy but we are just looking at graphics... and its kinda a sorry put-together recording so~ my apologies)... I believe that i may have to send this somewhere or take it back~ idk... i've already registered it on my Nintendo for the extended warranty... any ideas what i should do?
thanks in advance

yes it's the first time i see something like this...

if it happen with most of your games, it must be the system, return it...

My remote is not working. Or perhaps it is the sensor bar, I'm not entirely sure.

Yesterday it worked fine, I turned it off, and went out. The following morning I went to play it and the remote was no longer working. The cursor was not appearing. It was not dropped, nothing had happened to it. And from what I can ascertain the remote can withstand being thrown against walls.

I figured perhaps the batteries had run out, I replaced them. Nothing happened. I turned off the console, turned it back on and still the remote did not work.

I tried to re-sync it. Nothing. The lights are not flashing whatsoever. I am getting absolutely no response from the Wii remote. I replaced the batteries for a third time, still no go. I tried holding the sync button on the console for 15-20 seconds. And then tried re-syncing. Nothing. The lights did not even flash.

I unplugged everything and left it unplugged for nearly 10 minutes. Plugged it all back in, still the remote failed to connect, or do anything for that matter.

By now, I was very annoyed. Went away for a few hours, and came back later to see if it had fixed itself over time. Of course it hadn't. I have also even left the batteries out for nearly 10 mins. Still nothing.

Any suggestions? Or should I just take it back to the retailer? Or whomever I need to take/send it back too. Why would it just do that? I had no problems with it right up until that point. As mentioned above, it wasn't dropped, and wasn't even touched since the last time I played it when it was working fine. Unless someone merely is not owning up. However, I'd like to believe by now they would have confessed to have done something.

take it back to the store, tell them about this problem. Or if you prefer, you can tell Nintendo about that. The annoying part is you have to wait to get a replacement (but shipping is free, check the Nintendo website about their shipping methods).

i still need to test my Wii with 2+ players/Wiimotes...

Okay, thanks. I'll take it back to the store. The only problem is the store is well known for putting up a fight against returns. I should know, I work at one of the chains of the company.

they don't have the right to do this! Stores will replace your product if it broke within 90 days. If they are not happy, tell them you have the law on your side and they will lose if they're going in court for that!

tell me, is is Best Buy or Future Shop?

they are known here for being grumpy when we return stuff...

geez....i took a 5-years warranty from Best Buy for my LCD monitor, if i return something that broke in that 5 years, i want my product replaced! (or something similar, if discontinued).

I've got a problem and have no idea what's going on.

Bought my console at the UK launch (8th December) so it's only 3 weeks old. About a week ago I noticed the disk drive makes a funny noise when I play Red Steel. The last couple of days I've noticed that it actually makes this noise whenever a disk is inserted. It's a weird, sort of vibrating noise. The games are not affected at all so it seems but the noise is VERY annoying.

I e-mailed Nintendo on Thursday but no reply so far. It's strange how this came out of the blue anyone got an idea what could be causing it?
