oh no! my nunchuck has broken down... midway playing rayman,
the joystick still works but the sensitivity thing is screwed, it seems that its stuck in one position and wont move anyother way... (continuously to the bottom left)
because in boxing the left glove is at his left hip
im leaving it to rest atm, maybe it will fix itself ='(

im gonna try shaking it really hard later, if that doesnt work, maybe some gentle tapping. Has this happened to anyone else? or just me =(

I had a similar problem in red steel, the dude would only go left at first I though the nunchuck was stuffed.

After resetting the Wii the problem was gone. I figured I may have been leaning on the stick when I switched it on, causing the calibration to mess up.

Never had a problem since.

Hopefully its nothing serious for you, theres nothing worse the new equipment becoming defective, even though its under warranty.

Pull the nunchuck out and put it back in.

Just like how the N64 controls would go off tilt, you had to reset them with R + L + Start or reset the N64.

So when my Nunchuck AND my Classic control went bonkers, took them outa the Mote, put em back in, bingo cake yo!

its similar but not quite, mines to do with the sensitivity thing, which i hope doesnt break...sending anywhere either to get it replaced or fixed is too much hassle, im a lazy bugger...

god please save my little nunchuck baby!

that didnt work, saul. that was the first thing i tried...

If it happens again you should just unplug and plug in again, it happened to me while playing Zelda.
