I bought a refurbished wii u deluxe and two refurbished wii remotes with MS+ and nunchuck from the Nintendo online store.
My friend and I repeatedly experience a few issues with these refurbished remotes n nunchucks when playing Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario 3D World.
Mario Kart 8:
1. When holding the A button to go, the kart will randomly decellerate as if the A button is not being pressed at all. This happens rarely and randomly during races, but it has happened with both of my refurbished wii remotes+nunchuck.
2. After finishing a GP and returning to character selection, the cursor will continuously move to the left, as if the nunchuck was unplugged then plugged back in with the thumbstick being pressed to the side. Unplugging and replugging the nunchuck fixes this, but it happens quite frequently!
Super Mario 3D World:
1. Randomly during gameplay the nunchcuck became unresponsive. The system treated the controller as if the nunchuck was not plugged in and reverted to wii remote only controls. This happened with my friends non refurbished original wii remote and again with my refurbished wii remote MS+.
2. The issue with the nunchuck randomly moving items to the left also happened with 3D world.
Unplugging the nunchuck and replugging corrects the issue, but what could be fausing this to happen? It almost seems like an issue with the Wii U since it also happened with non refurbed controllers. Also, the game pad works flawlessly every time.
Please help!
