Virtual Console game plays on its own

[JW15]

I just bought Sonic yesterday for the virtual console and i went to play it and when i started it it started playing on its own. My wii remote is on and it works in wii sports and everything else so im real confused. I only have a wii remote soo far and it said you could use it for this game but its not working. I trried it a couple more times and it still didnt work. Anyone else have the same problem?

I think you'll find you need a Classic controller to play most VC games but don't quote me on that : - )

The Wiimote should work with Sonic. Are you sure you know which button is the start button when using the Wiimote to play? (It's the + button, if you don't know)

... Just press +. It's the 'Start' button when the Wiimote is held sideways.
