I'm having a bizzare problem during the Ridley fight.  For some reason, my aiming reticle stops moving.  No matter how much I move the remote, it stays fixed (usually aiming no where near Ridley) and I can't turn or aim at his mouth or hands.

 Has anyone else had this problem?  I tried new batteries in the remote and that didn't help.  It happens everytime and I can't beat him if I can't aim at him.

Thanks 

Thats a new one on me, I remember having a bitch of a time aiming in that fight but never had the reticule actually stick.

The best I can do for you suggest some basic things like:  double check the sensor bar and make sure you have a clear line of sight with it and make sure nothing is covering either the Wii-mote sensor or the bar's IR LEDs.

That probably won't be the issue but its worth checking.  In any case if you are still having trouble I would advise contacting Nintendo customer service at 1-800-255-3700, or email them, or look at their FAQ on their website.

Yeah, I never had that problem either. Is it only with Ridley? No where else in the game?

I stepped back about two feet and it worked fine. I haven't had this problem anywhere else. Strange...

well I'm glad it worked out ok. That is strange though.

Make sure you're using the most sensitive control setting for MP3; it helps things.  A lot.

Thanks for the suggestions. It hasn't been a problem since and I'm halfway through Bryyo now.

If stepping back did the trick, you may want to adjust the sensitivity in the Wii settings menu (as opposed to the sensitivity setting for MP3 itself).
