When I swing the Wii remote, the game pauses

When I swing the Wii remote, the game pauses - Side view of young male parent in casual wear and little daughter looking at each other playing together in cozy room at home

I have a Wii game called 'Sonic and the Black Knight' but whenever I swing the Wii remote, the game pauses! The game has quite a lot of combat skills, It's all about sword fights, so I really need this remote to work! I've tried to change the batteries of the remote and sync it, but that didn't help either. It only happens with this game, it used to be fine, but only just started this problem. is it the game or the remote?

Just to let you know, my Wii remote is fine, but my nunchuk isn't, does that affect anything?



Best Answer

If your nunchuk "isn't fine", it is very likely that the game is pausing assuming that the nunchuk was unplugged during your movements (Bad connectors on your nunchuk or wiimote may be the source of the problem).

Try with another nunchuk or wiimote if possible.
