Can't connect second Wii Remote, HELP?

We are trying to play Donkey Kong Country Returns (2-Player), but we can't get a second Wii Remote connected. We have tried pressing the home button and re-connecting that way, but only the first remote will connect and not the second. We've also tried pressing the red button on the system and the red button on the second controller but that didn't do anything. Anyone have any ideas?

    Turn off your Wii.

    Turn your Wii back on with only ONE controller on.

    Use that controller to get to the 2 player menu.

    Enter the two player menu.

    Then press A on the second controller.

    It will then turn on and join the game as Diddy Kong.

    Connecting Wii Remote

  • 1 decade ago

    I have been spending like two hours trying to get the second player synced. What happens to me is that I connect the remotes on wii menu, enter the game and only player one is connected. I have heard apparently (it's late here so I'll try it tomorrow) that you can only connect remote number two when you click two player and it says add the second remote. I am totally on your page. Tried unplugging, manual syncing, nothing I try works!
