Was syncing a Wii problem? Solved in WiiU...

In the end, after my experience during the holidays, I have found WiiU's syncing much harder than Wii's.
Seems like the only way to sync is by pairing, the old temporary Wiimote sync using 1+2 didn't work for me.

... no wonder they put those paring sync buttons so visible.

How complicated is this process of pairing...?

I've always remembered Wii-Wiimote sync'ing to be a general pain... Any time someone would bring over their spare wii controllers, the first 10 minutes of the get-together would always be dedicated to some sucker sitting hunched in front of the Wii console, attempting to sync the controllers...

And God save you if you were really only a casual and forgot how to sync after the first hour of owning your Wii. Then they never figured it out.
