Thanks for finding these! I posted them on Videogames of the Damned right away. This is the one upcoming Wii game that I'm most looking forward to. Aside, of course, from actually finding a Wii on store shelves. Whatever.
I'm still not after one until things have died down. I was initially getting one on launch day, then I lost interest, now I'm looking to get one early next year.
The remote lost communication with the console and all 4 leds
were flashing continuously. Batteries I thought seeing as it had
been used for over 30 hours. So I put some new batteries in it and it
still wouldn't recognise/pick it up. Tried resyncing it according to
the destructions, no joy, then after about 3 or 4 minutes of trying
and having a minor heartattack it suddenly started working again.

Anyone else experienced this??
I read something like that from GAF, I think it was in the official Wii thread...Can't remember the details, sorry.

I've heard of that happening to a couple of people in US Wii forums, and just like you said, it just resolved itself so they're not really any the wiser to why it happened.
It sounds a bit like a sudden bit of interference on the same bluetooth channel as the Wii controller sent the poor thing temporarily into the land of ghosts and wind. Unfortunatly, the syncing/pairing on the Wii seems to still be a tad awkward and can sometimes go a bit mental.
Probably worth keeping an eye on incase it's a hw fault and you're due a replacement.

I hope this hasn't been posted before, but it's kinda cool. Dudes hooked up a wiimote to a computer and are seeing just how it works visà vis gravity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iBaKsh5z_o&eurl=
yep seems ALOT of people have had the same experience I had last
night with the remote unsyncing itself.
For future reference here is some usefull info I found as the instructions
with the Wii are pretty useless:
"If you're having trouble getting your Wii Remotes synced to your Wii Console, or your Wii Remotes were synced previously and now the blue lights on your Wii Remote just flash and nothing happens, try the following.
First, make sure you have a fresh set of batteries. As the battery life depletes, the Wii Remote may begin to experience issues syncing properly.
Take the batteries out of your Wii Remote and wait one minute. Reinsert the batteries.
Turn on your Wii and wait until the Health and Safety Screen appears. (Don't press the A button.)
Now, press and hold the SYNC button on your Wii console for 15 seconds. This will delete all synced remotes from the system.
Now, re-sync your remotes one at a time. Open up the battery cover of your Wii Remote, push the red SYNC button inside, and then push the SYNC button on your Wii Console. Repeat this once for each controller.
If you're still experiencing issues, try to eliminate any wireless interference between the Wii Console and your playing area. Items such as cordless phones, microwaves, and other wireless items can prevent the Wii Remote from communicating effectively with the Wii Console. "
Also people are having problems related to the sensor bar:
"I played all last night, started to play this morning, and then, boom...no response from my Wii-mote to my Wii. I looked at the online troublshooting and it said to check for kinks in the line, etc.
I, always have, rolled up the extra amount of cord left for the Sensor Bar and put a twisty tie on it. So, in every effort to solve the problem, I did the following things:
First, I straightened all the excess cord.
Second, I had the cord running along many other cords for our entertainment set-up, so I moved the Sensor Bars cord so that it ran by itself.
Bingo! The signal was instantly reinstated!
I hope this works for any of you who may be having this problem."
