Wiimote troubleshooting 101: spank it

Or, in the specific words of aeolist who brought this up in NeoGAF, "they told us to hold the remote face down in one hand and spank it sharply with the other... by God it worked. Thing is just as precise as it was before."

Jokes aside, the shock of such spanking suffered by the Wiimote must reset the motion-sensing chips or something. Heck, all we know is that spanking the Wiimote has to do something to it. Hmm... the PS3's [Only registered users can see links. ] suffers from quite a similar malady ("directional lock" or "[Only registered users can see links. ]", depending on who you ask) - will similar good-ol' fashioned discipline down south correct its crooked ways?

Again, no joke. It might really work. Ninty tech support says they tried it once, and it worked, says aeolist, and someone else in the board tried it and it also worked. Perhaps this should be added to the [Only registered users can see links. ]: If Wiimote does not sense motion, then spank it. Or more specifically, hold the Wiimote face down and then spank it. If the Wiimote cries, then... well, spare the rod and spoil the controller, we always say.

Just be glad that the Wiimote [Only registered users can see links. ] (just as much as it can [Only registered users can see links. ], too). Now c'mon, you misbehaving motion-sensing device, you've been a very bad Wiimote lately...

Well, what are you waiting for? Go Wii spank.....:retarded:

LMAO and I hope Crawler doesn't read this thread

I would advise you to wear the wrist stap at all times, Ive seen those stories about wiimotes flying off randomly and impaling things

I love Nintendo - Sony would never be honest enough to advise like this
