Trying to connect 2nd remote of wii for mario play 8 - don't have problem with other games, but remote will flash for a few seconds, but won't stay connected for 2 of us to play.
We had this same problem so I did a google search for 2nd wii remote not connecting or staying connected and this is what we came up with and did this and it really works! So hopefully this will help all of you to. Good luck! K and M
This is from www.nintendo.com/wii :
Wii Remote not being recognized by the Wii Console (lights on the Wii Remote flash when you press a button, but then go out) - Most Common:
Getting the Wii console to recognize (or "sync" with) a Wii Remote, especially one that did not come in the box with your Wii console, may require doing a few additional steps before it can be synced. Additionally, a Wii Remote that was working, but is no longer being recognized (or has "lost its sync") may need to be re-synced. Please use the troubleshooting steps listed below, which our experience has shown can solve many Wii Remote issues.

Try these steps!
What i suggest is to press the home button on the working controller. in the menu there is the wii remote settings click on that menu. there should then be a button that says reconnect press that button. the screen should say disconnecting. after that press the 1 and 2 buttons on all desired controllers in the order of players. that should fix the problem if im not mistaken. :)
Open the back of your wii remote and you'll see a red round sync button... open the front of your Wii and you will see a red rectabgular sync button. point the wii remote at the wii station and press both buttons and hold for 10 seconds, this will then link up both and you will be up and running
The solution proposed by brynpttrsn works perfectly if you are also having problems with Mario Kart.
I have 2 controllers A and B. I set up A for channel 1 and B for channel 2. After about 10 seconds controller B's channel 2 LED goes out, comes on again for about 1 second and then goes out for ever. If I swap controllers so that A is channel 2 and B is channel 1 the identical fault occurs.
I have tried everything suggested on the nintendo.com troublehooting web page but still have the same problem. I have also tried the Reconnect facility on the console, but cannot get either controller to re-sync. During this operation do I point the 2 controllers at the console or towards the motion sensor bar?
Any ideas please on how to stop the controller set to channel 2 losing its sync?

I just tried it because I was having the same problem. What I did was hit the home button on the first remote, and disconnect the remote from the concole. It should then tell you to reconnect in order, connect the first and while the reconnect screen is up, connect the second one, and both hands should show up on the screen to play. Hope that helps!
Thank you it worked perfectly
Awsome! this has been a great deal of frustration for our famly for weeks! thank you.
Using the home button to reconnect works, but only as a temporary solution. flippo_K 's solution works permanently and you won't have to reconnect every time you cut the Wii on.
Brynptterson Is Right! I did this with my console and it worked perfectly. You must press on the home button then wii remote settings then reconnect. On the reconnect menu you must press the 1 and 2 button on all controllers you wish to add SIMULTANEOUSLY otherwise it will only add in one remote. This worked with my console and is a good solution to the problem.
Your a sly one.....mr grinch
Brynpttrsn it worked thank you

I have the same issue. Any ideas?
i cant figure out how to add another reomote to mario party 8. it says its a four player game. How do i do it? please help.
Exactly the same problem any ideas??
same problem w/ Narato and Lego star wars saga
same problem here.
I am having the same problem with Lego Star Wars. The 2nd remote will work with other games but not this one. I have tried syncing it everyway but still cant get it to work
my 2nd remote wont work when i play any mario games
Same Problem
Playing mario 8 - unable to find out how to have the second wii remote to connect and operate for 2 player. Other mario games (e.g. mario olypmics) do not have this problem.
Not sure what steps to take as there is lack of options on the actual game to figure this out. Gone into Minigames / Extra Zones and Party Tent and when it asks you to select players - second one down which is Player 1, Player 2 and Com 1 / Com 2 - will not allow as it says 'Please connect second wii remote'
If there is a solution to this it would be great. Thanks for your help.

Same problem but the suggestion made it work!
i have the same problem it connects to everything but not mario party 8
2nd wii remote will not connect with mario play 8 problem
2nd wii remote will not stay connected
I have tried to disconnect and then reconnect and still have the same problems. The only games I can get the second remote to stay connected with is game system came with. I disconnect and then reconnect all remotes and once games load up the 2nd remote is gone. Disconnecting and reconnecting doesn't work!
I have the same problem with all games except the one that came with the wii console. I have tried to disconnect and reconnect and when the game loads up 2nd remote is gone. I have tried changing batteries and still doesn't work. Tried the reset buttons and still doesn't work. I have a 2nd remote that is useless to me unless I play the game that came with my system. What is the point in having multiplayer games if you can only play with 1 remote.
smae

something wrong
I am trying to play Smash Brothers Brawl and the second remote will not connect.
The only muti player game that the second remote works with is WII Sports. Why cant we use more that one remote for other multi player games? Whats the use of owning more than one remote if you cant get the console to recognize it on other games? How do I fix this problem?
