Zelda Skyward Sword ? Can't move!

[egparadigm]

Hi All,

I have just started Skyward Sword. Received a letter from Zelda and then the game returns to what I presume is my control, but I cannot move! It looks like it might be in Z-lock as there seem to be black borders.

I am using a motion plus I bought second hand in CEX. I have it plugged into a standard Wii remote with the nunchuck attached.

Am I meant to be able to move? What can I do? Is one of my accessories faulty?

Many thanks in advance.

Could be a faulty motion plus. A friend had a similar issue with a different game.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. Bit of a ball ache, as I bought it in Bristol the other day and that means going back to return it.

Are the motion plus accessories meant to have two notches sticking out on the bottom? I'm wondering if it's not an official bit of kit.

To be honest I don't really remember. I have the gold Wiimote edition and that is my only motion plus.

Yeah. That where they clip into the rubber protector thing.

My motion+ thing broke and it seems quite common. The ribbon connector eventually breaks inside which I replaced with cables.

Just updating to say I swapped the adapter and the replacement works.
