Answer:
Just an idea, could be weak batteries? I know it might not be since it does work on one game, but it is a thought. Also maybe resetting the connection with the second remote using the red button inside the back of the remote and the red button on the Wii could possibly correct it.
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art41832.asp has good instructions on how to reset or resync the connection. Hope it helps.

There is one way of connecting a Wii remote to the Wii that has not yet been mentioned, and that is Synchronizing.
1. Start up the Wii and stay on the main menu screen.
2. On the front of the Wii there is a little flap. Open it up and you will find a red button and a slot for an SD card. Press the Red Button.
3. Now open up the batter case on the Wii remote and you will see a small red button. Now press this button too.
4. The lights on the Wii remote will blink for a while until it is complete and will display a single light, depending on what number remote it is.
5. Do this for all your Wii Remotes, one at a time, and then you should not have any trouble getting the Wii remotes to work properly. To test if it has worked correctly, try using the freshly synchronized remote to turn the Wii off and back on again.
OK… Pretty easy… just press the "home" button at your first wii mote… at the bottom of the scrren you should see the wii remote settings… click it and the settings will appear…
Then you need to hit "reconnect"… press buttons 1 & 2 simultaneously when the first mote is detected hit 1 & 2 at the second controller… it should be found and work properly…
You do have to hold down the 1 and 2 but here's how you are supposed to. Firstly press the home button on your Wiimote (Wii remote). NOW press 1 and 2. If that doesn't work then sorry I can't help.
