| thetonestarr said: I have similar issues when my Wiimote is detecting other sources of infrared light. Are you playing near a window? Are there any windows reflecting off your TV screen? If sunlight is entering the room well enough, the IR light in the sun's rays will actually interfere with the Wiimote's sensing. |
This is a good reason for it to go off on one.... but like I said a quick shake of the remote should always fix that (unless it is broken)
The pointing functions on the Wii have to use a balance of the IR sensor and the motion controls because although it can detect twist using the IR perfectly well, it cannot do it when you point off screen so it needs a check/fail safe type thing with the gyroscope or whetever measures tilt inside the remote.
Which is why sometimes on the Wii menu you can point off then on screen to find the hand is upside down, but shaking (or sometimes just time) will always correct it.

I don't think other sources of light should not make it inverted controls though (where left/right and up/down are changed) unless the other sources of light were moving fast in front of the remote.
I could be wrong though.

@windbane if it is a problem with the electronic motion sensors, (I am not sure if it is) try hitting the remote into your hand, you can do it quite hard, this may fix the remote. (sometimes parts of the motion sensor can get stuck, and hitting it will break those parts so they are not in the way of their substitutes)
