Where did you hear this rumor.

Mostly likely its just false news from people that hate the Wii.

Some pretty nutty stuff can be said.

The only way to find out is to google it, and see what people have said.

The wiimote uses infrared waves. Cockroaches can detect radio waves and low frequency microwaves.

So yeah, it's probably fake

It's probably fake new. But I'm sure you got it from the Nintendo forums.

It is without a doubt, fake.

Cockroaches cannot detect infrared waves. The wiimote uses upper frequency infrared. That's well outside what they can detect
