The Wii Remote and Nunchuck
Saturday, August 1st, 2009Two of the controllers that are constantly going to be in your hands whenever you are playing the Nintendo are the remote, sometimes referred to as the Wiimote and the nunchuck.
Not all games are going to need the nunchuck but some of them will not play unless it is inserted into the end of the remote.
Unfortunately, the nunchuck does not come standard with the Wii game system and must be purchased separately. This is an added expense that tends to frustrate many people who are trying to play games right out of the box.
Fortunately, it is not a particularly expensive accessory but it is one that is necessary to play some games.
The Nintendo game system only comes with one remote so if you plan on playing with somebody else, you should pick up an additional remote and 2 nunchucks at the same time that you pick up your new game system. Not doing this is only going to frustrate you in the long run and it cost you another trip back to the store sooner or later.
Don’t purchase your additional remote and nunchuck by itself. For just a few dollars more, you can get the Wiiplay game that comes with both.
This particular game helps you to learn the ins and outs of the game system and can actually be quite fun on it’s own. Many people have spent dozens of hours playing this particular game with friends and family and continue to do so.
One of the most common problems that people run into is that their remote is not responsive. It may be working to a certain extent but it could be moving your characters in a choppy fashion. There are several different things that may be causing this.
The first thing that you should check is to see if you are having a problem with low or dead batteries. There’s no need for you to replace the batteries in order to check this, it can easily be checked from the options menu on the Wii home screen.
Look at the bottom of your remote in order to see which number it has been assigned. Match that number with the remote on the screen and you will easily be able to see how much life your batteries have left.
Here is a great tip, buy yourself a battery charger and re-chargeable batteries and keep it next to the console, that way you will always have fresh batteries to play.
