Some Wii controllers eat batteries -- some don't?

The one out of the box is automatically set to player 1.

What do you mean player 1? Every time you boot up, doesn't that change depending on which Wiimote you use?

I don't think so, the instructions say the Wiimote in the box is already configured to player 1. If you get a 2nd controller you have to press the sync key on the Wiimote and the console and then press 2 to assign it to player 2.

Huh? Really? But there isn't a 3 or 4 button when you get your third and fourth controllers?

I thought the same as Yoda. Every time I start the Wii, whichever controller I happen to press A on first becomes first player.

Yeah, it's assigned every bootup.

And the sync button is only used for emergencies. You should be able to connect with just the 1 and 2 buttons.
