Oh jeese you've bought 3 Wii-remotes already? It shouldn't be possible that 3 Wii-remotes in a row have broken down on you. Like the people above me said, you're probably not replacing the battery. And probably have unfortunately wasted some money. But then again if you kept them all you gotta do now is buy batteries.

You could have just sent the first one in to Nintendo and saved almost $100.

there must be some sort of special condition in where or how you play to keep that happening.I play literally every single day with my wiimotes since 2k7 and i had not a single issue whatsoever.

Maybe they just disconnected from your Wii? Try syncing them again... and maybe the batteries.

Well something's up, and I can't see you being SO unlucky as to get three junky devices in a row. User error is the highest likely scenario here... I have three remotes, used daily, and a couple of them have even gone through some serious abuse (thrown, dropped, etc) from my nephews and my two year old daughter. My remotes all still work perfectly, so I find it hard to believe yours are spontaneously breaking for no reason. There's something you're not telling us (and possibly don't even realize yourself) that is causing the problem.

It's hard to believe that you've already gone through 3 Wii Remotes. You may be taking bad care of them.

Obviously a lack of care.One faulty, meh it happens. Two faulty, that sucks. Three faulty, what the hell? And only 6 month period too, I'm sure warrenty would've kicked in.

probability this guy gets hit with a blue shell in mario kart only to repeatedly smash their remote against concrete seems rather high at this point
