jesus! how hard were those people swingin those remotes to break that TV screen like that???

bamplayboybam · 11-30-2006, 10:07 AM

i still want one!

iburn · 11-30-2006, 12:34 PM

it was bound to happen....

**Exitilus** · 11-30-2006, 02:33 PM

well apparently the straps that hold it to your arm are not very supportive. Read a few more articles that apparently their design is very inefficient.

iburn · 11-30-2006, 04:15 PM

yeah, i read a bunch... looks like it will either be a recall or a class action suit.

Johnboat · 11-30-2006, 04:37 PM

A lawsuit?

Geez, this is another case of stupidity of a user. If this happened to me, I'd blame myself, not Nintendo. Even if the strap is weak, I'd like to think you'd have to be swingin' pretty friggin' hard for it to break and fly across the room.

Besides, I'd rather deal with a broken whatever in the livingroom than the possibility of a XBOX360 or a PS3 melting through the floor.

Also, this type of remote is something completely different went it comes to consoles, so Nintendo is learning as they go. Expect a bump or two along the way.

**Exitilus** · 11-30-2006, 04:44 PM

I'm waiting for the lawsuit .. "Wii strap broke so I superglued it to my hand. now I'm suing for damages cause i had to have it surgically removed!"

iburn · 11-30-2006, 04:54 PM

hehehe

**Exitilus** · 11-30-2006, 05:58 PM

I think the biggest problem is people get too much into the game

...

iburn · 11-30-2006, 06:18 PM

welcome to generation DUH!!!

lol

cybastov · 12-10-2006, 10:13 AM

yeah a general issue of stupidity... at least its making the kids take some kind of exercise, I was at work and apparently kids are getting bad knees from them dance mat games.... I imagine its because they over exert themselves having not really done much form of exercise before they got into the game

**ByteMeHere** · 12-17-2006, 08:05 AM

I for one, am completely supportive of this system. It beats kids sitting around getting fat while playing halo on the xbox. (for that matter, husbands too, lol)

In my opinion the straps are pointless. You are suppose to hold on to the damn things. If I were the creator of the system, I would have never included the straps. Each remote piece is ment to be held on to. *shakes head*

and Nintendo is doing something else I wouldnt do. They are replacing all straps, free of charge.

Just to be nice and not have any contravercy(sp?)

Fuck that, I would meet a lawsuit head on. It is simply retarded.

If you lotion up your pecker, and your hand slips off, does that make for a good lawsuit? against lotion companies? (ermmm......... )

It really pisses me off, that there is a game system out there now, that gets kids active, while sitting infront of the tv, and people are bitching because they cant hold on to their shit.

With that said.......... I REALLY WANT ONE. lol. With all of daniels allergies, he tends to stay in the house alot, playing video games, versus going out in the grass and trees and suffering an asthma attack.

I think this is the greatest thing put out by any of the video game developers.

da Q · 12-17-2006, 04:29 PM

I'm thinking there is WAAYYYYY too much alcohol consumed in my apartment for the Wii to be present.

Johnboat · 12-17-2006, 07:33 PM

Lisa & da Q.

Two very good points.

I know, it's a bit hypocritical of me. I was anti-DDR becuase it was an "active" video game. Seeing people play Guitar Hero and the Wii made me warm up to the idea of getting off one's ass in order to play a game.

Village Of The Damned · 12-17-2006, 08:16 PM

Luke is SO getting a Wii when I get to the states

.. i'm not big into games .. but this actually looks fun

.. where as sitting on your ass for hours on end doesn't

I'd get one while I am here now .. but there is really no point ... I will only be here about a month and a half b4 I leave for the states ... and the fact that they are like $800+

iburn · 12-17-2006, 09:12 PM

i suppose if you dont want to go out and actually DO the sport....

looks like fun though... i think its better than sitting on your ass doing nothing at all...
