Ok i just bought a new game called red steel on the wii and it was going smoothly until it just stopped. A message came on the screen saying "the wii remote has lost connections with the console. Strangely, it wouldn't even turn off via the console switch. I did the normal troubleshooting thing for the wii and unplugged everything from it. I left it for about 5 minutes and then plugged it all back in. Then the wiimote flashed one blue light a few times, kept doing this and stopped working. I finally got to clicking the disc symbol when the entire console froze and let out a long buzzing noise. it wouldn't let me turn it off, eject or use the wiimote and has kept doing this since it first froze. I tried synching, googling the topic, and charging the wiimote. Is there any way i can get this to work without ringing nintendo? If not, what is nintendo's number for Wellington New Zealand?

That was happened to mine a few times as well. Just a system defect, in going to guess you bought a Wii when it first came out? When mine did that all I had to do was restart the console.. It's possible yours just has a defect. If it's still under warranty, you should be able to return it. If not, You can call Nintendo, and they will fix it for like $30-40

I'm not sure why your Wii is locking up. I recently bought a second Wii for my wifeand we had a lot of trouble with it, but at least we were getting an error message - if you can call "unknown error" an error message. I had to take it back and exchange it. Anyway, what I wanted to say is this: When you press the button on the Wiimote before turning on the Wii, up to four of the lights flash. How many of them flash is an indication of how much power is in your batteries. Four lights flash if you have new batteries. If only one light is flashing, that shows that the battery has nearly run out. That could be why you get the message that "the wiimote has lost conection with the console". Change the batteries in your wiimote to see if that improves things.

I just want to correct Michael Jones, the flashing lights do not stand for the battery level. 1 Flashing light is to indicate remote number 1. 2 lights= wiimote #2...so on so forth. As far as your console shutting down, that happened to me once and it was because my batteries moved in the remote and the bar on top of TV wasn't detecting the signal strong enough to recognize the remote. Try changing your batteries and make sure you don't move too fast and don't go too far away from the detection bar.
