Some Wii controllers eat batteries -- some don't?

Is one of them used more with the nunchuck? Do you know if it's the one out of the box or the extra one you bought?

They should both have been used pretty equally -- equally with and equally without the nunchuck.

It is possible that every time I and my nephew and my friend have played Zelda, that the one controller eating batteries gets used every time. Not very likely, though. And it really seems like at one moment it's at full charge, then I turn off the Wii and I come back a little later and they're now dead.

Hmmm I don't know if it was the one out of the box or the extra one... I wonder if I can figure that out...

Maybe through which serial# is lower?? I've already gotten mine mixed up so I don't know which is which.

Have you resynched them since you got them? The one out of the box is automatically set to player 1.

The one out of the box is automatically set to player 1.

What do you mean player 1? Every time you boot up, doesn't that change depending on which Wiimote you use?

I don't think so, the instructions say the Wiimote in the box is already configured to player 1. If you get a 2nd controller you have to press the sync key on the Wiimote and the console and then press 2 to assign it to player 2.

Huh? Really? But there isn't a 3 or 4 button when you get your third and fourth controllers?

I thought the same as Yoda. Every time I start the Wii, whichever controller I happen to press A on first becomes first player.

Yeah, it's assigned every bootup.

And the sync button is only used for emergencies. You should be able to connect with just the 1 and 2 buttons.
