get the warioware smooth moves and you will have no awkwards with the remote ever again.

I've been meaning to check that out. I think my problem is that I'm left-handed and the console was made for righties. It just feels awkward to use my right hand to point. I had a similar problem trying to play Zelda.

Wait, what? Can't you just hold the remote with your left hand? Also, a lot of games (like Wario Ware) let you flip things for lefties...not that it makes a huge difference.
As for Prime 3, it took me about 10 minutes and I was just blasting things with pinpoint accuracy. It's REALLY IMPORTANT that you set it to Advanced difficulty when you start the game. The advanced mode has much better and tighter controls.

Games like Wii Sports or anything where you ONLY use the wiimote are great for the lefty flip (swinging the bat, racket or golf club and even bowling) but I have been trained all of my life to move the character on the screen with the analog stick and my left thumb. It just doesn't work with the nunchuck attachment in my right hand (I tried). :'(

Thnx for the replies, I ask because it seems like the wii technology could easily be used for a LCD lightgun, how does the performance of the wii controller compare to something like the LCD TopGun? Wii uses LED's too right? I'm not a fan of the topgun my set-up just doesn't allow for permanent mounting of the LED strips, and u have to be too far away IMO plus the 3rd party driver issues just add up to a crappy product IMHO (no dis)

I think it would be horrible. The pointer on the screen isn't even close to where you are actually pointing the wiimote. There's a youtube video somewhere showing how off it is where someone taped a pointer to the wiimote and there is like a 6-8 inch differnce between the red dot from the pointer and the cursor from the wiimote.
