Wii Have a Problem
December 17th, 2006 . by Jilly
Yep, that’s a Wiimote stuck in a TV. I heard this story on NPR yesterday…
Nintendo announces a recall of wrist straps attached to its new Wii game system’s remote controls.
People playing games on the Wii console use the remote control to simulate actions such as swinging a golf club or a baseball bat.
A number of users have experienced the wrist straps breaking mid-swing, sending the remote control flying into televisions and light fixtures — and at other people. Nintendo is offering a stronger strap, free of charge, to consumers who contact the company.
You might want to check out this website, Wii Have a Problem, which documents all things broken by playing the Wii…like this girl’s face.
