As a lot of us probably are, I'm a big fan of the past technology. i have a nintendo wii from years back, and i only had one remote for it. kept looking for a second one at a fair price so i could play with my friends when they come over. I bought one, second hand. it's a gamestop remote, not an original one. It connects, works all good in the menu and almost all games but the second i turn on wii sports, wii sports resort or wii play it disconnects. any idea why? is it a calibration problem? don't think the remote is broken since it works on literally any other games or apps.
