Oh gosh, I hate it when that happens. Lately the old wii remotes I used are becoming more glitchy. But the Gamepad... that's terrible. Mine hasn't given out - yet. And I hope it keeps a little longer.

Yeah the Wiimotes are glitchy too, mine were glitching on 1:1 motion games like Skyward Sword when I used it. Constantly having to unplug and plug the Nunchuck to stop Link running to the left. So Annoying. Some Wii games from Wii U VC allow for Gamepad use which is cool but they never implemented it for Skyward Sword.
That's exactly what happens to me! You think getting new ones with fix the problem? Are they even making new wii remotes now?
