ok so i was about to play gradius on the wii with my friends and i got the stick and while i was holding it i saw smoke out the corner of my eyes and when i looked downd i said "oh my god its smoking" and me and my freinds started to panic and i was thinking *should i burn my and or take it out* because i saw red on the negative side so i threw it on the couch and looked at it for a few seconds and picked it up and took the battery out and it was HOT and i hurried and put the battery on the couch and my friend said "you better get that off there before the couch set on fire"luckily it didnt. i think somebody charged the battery to much.i was so paranoid i held the wii remote upside down.
