Wii Remote Attacks Innocent TV
Post by Charles
Only days after the release of the new Nintendo Wii, the mother of a seven year old girl claims that while playing Wii Sports Bowling her daughters’ safety wrist strap broke. Upon breaking off her wrist the rogue controller flew straight into the television leaving it with quite the war wound. Who knows what really happened but I would not be surprised if this is possible. If not this time it will surely happen a few years from now when those straps get older, more brittle, and get chewed on by the family cat a few times.
I can not imagine that Nintendo did not thoroughly test their safety straps but, I wonder if they really abused the remotes like they should have. People are animals, you have to expect that people are going to play these things way too hard. A couple of guys drinking in a dorm room while playing a round of bowling could easily wind up firing a hole in their wall, one that they will no doubtedly spackle with some white toothpaste the next day.
