Topic: Classic Controller fault

Hi guys - my Classic Controller seems to have developed a fault where when I'm playing a VC game it randomly pauses and goes back to the 'reset / wii menu / configure wiimote screen'. Have there been any reports of this or is it nothing to do with the controller and maybe a VC or console problem. I've tested both SF2 turbo and Twinbee and the problem is happening on both games. Also tried switching the Wii off and on again.
I though someone on here might have some advice before I call Nintendo

Cheers friends!

Don't think I've ever had that problem with the classic. I did get some liquid on a psp. This reminds me of that. Did you get it wet? or damp?

If anything, maybe there is something sticky in-between the Home button. It doesn't take much to press that button, so maybe something is holding it down.

It's possible although I don't remember a specific occasion. Google brings up nothing about faulty CCs. Looks like they're pretty robust.

Are you sure you just aren't accidently hitting the home button?

Hidden dragon-punch combo?

Maybe he means when the games start? I've noted that nearly every VC game I play goes to the home menu after the game boots when I have the CC connected. I figured it's normal behaviour relating to it being detected...

I've never had, nor have I ever heard of any faults. But my control sticks did turn yellowish not long after I got the controller, and that was back when I hardly used it. They really should come up with a more resilient material for the control sticks.

yeah from memory it does this to me whenever I load a game that has the "save state" thing (just NES and MS games I think) after exiting via the Wii menu last time I played it. It does it regardless of what controller I am using from memory and I don't remember thinking it was a fault. It also doesn't do it with non-VC games, the shop channel or the Wii menu itself and I do remember it doing it with the Wii remote by itself so if it is a "fault" its not the classic controller.

Because I don't think of it as a problem I never paid much attention to it but so I might be wrong. Someone test it out

Ah, it's the save state! That makes a lot of sense, actually.
