It actually is very likely the problem.. Many game menus are not clickable at all without using pointer on them.. And you can't use pointer at all with wiimote, if you don't have an infrared source like a functional sensor bar.
If you manage to somehow move a cursor through nunchuck, that's not pointer. It's cursor. There is absolutely no way to move wiimote pointer if you didn't correctly set up candles or IR emitter. Not many games use cursor anymore (like brawl), in most games you need pointer to advance.
