If your Wii remote is acting up it seems like the best way to fix it is to turn the controller button side down and smack it into the palm of your hand. That`s not my advice, that`s actually the advice from Nintendo tech support (my advice would be to just throw the thing at the wall but that`s just me). I`m not sure what`s funnier, the fact that this is a Nintendo approved solution or that it actually works.
Hat tip to Kotaku for the link.

It's the Wii equivalent of the ol' *blow on it* cartridge trick.

Hmm, never had this problem--I usually just took the batteries out and re-set the thing. Makes me question the validity of Nintendo's help desk, but if it works...

I don't know if this is the problem they are referring to, but my Wii remote tends to shut off for no reason. I think it happens when I wave it around too much. Don't get me wrong, I'm not whipping it around violently or anything (I'm a pretty easy going guy), but it will shut off at the worst times. This happened to me a lot when I was reviewing SSX Blur. Oh, and for the record, that is NOT the reason I gave the game a low score. I gave it a low score because it sucks.
