and All Consoles

The Nintendo Wii is truly a remarkable new gaming system which has incorporated state of the art remote controller technology. It really allows the player to get involved with the game, like it’s actually happening. However, there is a problem to this, people do… and break things!

It’s apparent that the Wii remote has handy uses: to given an enjoyable and exciting video gaming experience; and to help in getting rid of any unwanted light fixtures, coffee cups, and appliances.

The majority of the accidents and injuries tend to involve the safety strap on the Wii remote. After some intense game player, users claim that the strap breaks easily, and if you waving your arms around at the time, it likely to send the remote flying across the room in a collision course with a TV or somebody’s head.

Nintendo initially stated that they do not take responsibility for these strap-related accidents, but if you refer to Nintendo’s customer service site, a warning about the safe use of the remote had been posted.

However, Nintendo are now offering to replace the original version of the wrist straps for the Wii remote with a newer version. If you do happen to own the original version of the strap, and would prefer a replacement, simply visit Nintendo’s official site and complete the necessary online form.

Many of the remaining causes of Wii related accidents and injuries are generally down to people, and the silly things they do.

Most of the trouble seems at the moment to be related to the sports games. It you take a gamer involved in a heated game of bowling. He desperately needs to get a strike and gives the all he’s got. Unfortunately, as he swings the remote forward to release the ball, the tiny strap snaps and the remotes gone flying – fight into his shinning new HDTV. It’s a very sad day all around.

In a further bowling related incident, on this occasion the gamer is using the Wii sleeve for additional protection, as the gaming gets more and more exciting the sleeve becomes sweaty and flies off. The remote shoots across the room crashing into the china cabinet and the symphony of breaking glass brings his angry mother stomping into the room.

Baseball is also proving to be a pretty dangerous sport to take part in these days. As you can imagine, pitching can be pretty deadly. There have been reports all over the place of wild pitches sending the Wii remote into lampshades, plasma lamps, coffee cups, and basically any glass surface in the room.

Fishing is not an activity that you would imagine to be an high intensity sport, but still Wii games have been able to injure themselves and destroy items around them while trying to reel in that big score. One gamer leaned back so hard into his chair that it snapped and sent his onto the floor. Maybe the game-play of the Wii games is too realistic!

The deadliest game by far is tennis. This is especially for the taller people during serves. Some people get widely out of control from waving their arms about for there severs, and end up smashing their hands into light fixtures, ceiling fans and chandeliers. Worse then that, some tennis players have accidentally whacked friends and loved ones in the face during a high energy match.

The Wii can be dangerous not simply for the players and household items, but any other person in the same room. There have been reported cases of innocent bystanders, in some instances kids, being brained or smacked due to a golf tournament. Some children has received bruises and busted lips from their parents bowling. It shouldn’t really be that surprising, but by placing the Wii remote in the hands of little children often results in something going smash.

Apart from natural human stupidity, there are some things to take note of to game safely: make sure to hold the remote as firmly as comfortable in your hand, make sure that there is plenty of space, and certainly nothing within your swing distance.

On the other hand, you could simple take the Wii outside and play.
