For my nephews 6th birthday, I bought him a Nintendo Wii and a few games. Everything works perfectly on every game, except for Ironman.

While in Ironman, it is very hard for him to control the character, as he apparently just keeps spinning to the right.

Now, I haven't witnessed this myself, as I haven't been there to see it. But my sister and nephew keep calling me and asking me if it is normal, if so, that it is very dizzying, and if not, how to fix it?...

Both my sister and I are very ignorant when it comes to anything Wii related. The first time I really even used one was for the breif time I set it up for them and tested out the Batman 2 Lego game. ( very fun though )

I haven't been able to find anything related to this online.

I was thinking this might be a calibration setting.... That maybe Ironman is controlled via how you point the wiimote, but my sister can't really tell me for some reason if it is so. She just says, " There is no stopping him from spinning."

So any clues or help that someone can throw my way?

Thanks for any help guys.

Same here. I've been looking all over the internet today, and absolutely nothing is there about such an issue.

Guess I'll just have to make the hour long trip to try and put my magic hands to work :p AAARRRGGG lol

My quick guess is he is holding the Wiimote the wrong way. if he was pointing it like a wand, and not holding it sideways for example, I think that may force Iron Man to just go in circles no?

That is exactly what I thought. I have no clue though if Ironman is directed by the direction of the wiimote. My sister is too ignorant about consoles to answer my questions, and well, you know how very young kids explain things.... I can't make any sense from that :p

If the character is controlled via how you face the wiimote.... would a little calibration probably be the answer? I can walk her through that over the phone I'm sure :)

Sure calibration would help. Holding it the right way would probably help more though. :laugh:

I could be wrong here, but I am pretty sure every Wii game when it starts up tells you the proper way to hold the Wiimote. I would tell your sister to pay attention when the game starts up, as it could be just as easy as that. I would also not be surprised if the game uses the nunchuck as well? Actually yes it does, found this on an Amazon review for the game...

Only big downside for me is flight controls require aiming both Wii remote & Nunchuk. If you're not 100% focused on what each hand is doing you'll have a hard time steering while in flight mode.

Taken from the Amazon page for the game.

So assure the nunchuck is hooked up, and if it is, that he is using it and it is not face down on the ground pushed to the right, and that is why it is going in circles.

Honestly based on that above quote though, sounds like the games controls may just be hard.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
