not that i know of. Both of mine are yellow, infact one managed to turn orange in 2 spots.. but i used a damp tissue and wiped it off, but it didnt do much.
I think this is natural then. My first gc controllers turned blue. Like seriously, the control stick turned blue. It was pretty bad. But now...the latest gc controllers don't fade.
The yellowing happens naturally with whiteish plastics. Body oils and sweat speed this up. The reaction varies depending on the person. Not everyone sweats the same, and body oils can differ alot also.
Not as bad as having a yellow DS screen :(illbitcrusher
Perchance, are you using regular glass cleaner or one of those off-the-shelf computer wipes to clean them? (the alcohol or ammonia in either of these will cause LCDs to yellow)
Google yellow ds screen there are quite a few things about it but i'm not too sure what causes it. As for the yellow control stick thats just the chemicals used. Nintendo have done it since the NES days but having a while yellow NES is quite unsightly.

I don't wipe my DS screen. I do believe it has something to do with the carbon in the screens and it also only appears to happen to first batch DS lites
There was a webpage devoted to that and even offered up an explation that is quite true. It happened to certain pc brands.
A bad batch of plastics with a defect due to a mixing error will turn yellow when exposed to the sunlight over a period of time. Body oils can do it to. But mostly it is sunlight or just light in general.
I expect the next batches of wii nunchuck joystick plastics to not have the error or take a lot longer for it to show up.
As expected with the color white, i wanted a black one for this reason alone, since they don't fade and you can't see the difference if it does start to react with your finger sweat or something.
Just buy a silicon sportsgrip for your wii remote & Nunchuk.Thats what I did before things like start to happen. & if you sweat alot just pause the game & wash your hands from the sweat. The silicon sportsgrips are made by futuretronics.
