Be careful with your Wii!

[Rolf N]

Couldve been worse.. I`d definitly dont want to get killed by a flying Wiimote in 2-player fighting games for example.

I've been thinking about this ... it would not technically be murder but homicide, right?

Nintendo will be guilty of manslaughter.

Too funny, but I might change the straps and make a rule that the kids can't play it on the big screen without wearing the straps....

The lack of sexual innuendo in this thread is sadly disappointing.

I mean, "be careful with your Wii?" COME on!

How about "The dangers of letting your Wii pop out"?

apparently that was from playing the bowling game

Who in theyr right mind would wreck an 60" TV just to make Nintendo look bad?

I didn't say they broke the screen on purpose.

After llooking at these pics, all we know is that these folks have a broken TV and a Wii. The cause and effect relationship has yet to be proven.

I'm just kidding, it's not impossible that it did might happen. Althought, I indeed find it hard to believe, unless the remote was thrown particulary fast and if the screen wasn't of the most robust piece of equipement ever.

As a friend of mine suggested, and Zeckensack mentioned above, what if they weren't using the strap, the Wiimote bust the TV, and then they broke the strap to pass the blame to someone else? Possibility? Maybe, though if you stupidly bust your own TV, wouldn't you rather keep it quiet then plaster it over the internet? Unless you were hoping to shame Nintendo into buying a replacement

As was already posted though, Shifty, IGN had a similar problem and there's a pretty good dent in their wall from the Wiimote smacking into it.

Did IGN's wrist-strap break?

I think I read it did.
(Anyone with a link to the story ?)

Nintendo Wii KILLED MY FUCKING CAT!
I was playing Wii Sports: Tennis and pretending I was Andre Agassi when a vicious backhand snapped the controller's safety strap. The controller flew out of my hand and struck my cat in the head! This fucking sucks... Keep your pets away from the Nintendo Wii. It's DANGEROUS!

There's a video in IGN about them explaining the situation about some girl playing it and getting really in to it when the strap failed and the controller went flying supersonic speed to the wall and leaving a dent.

Or maybe "Handle your Wii with care"....
