It looks like an epidemic of busted screens for users of NintendoĂ¢â‚¬â„¢s new Wii game system, although the ratio of such incidents to Wii systems sold has not been determined at this point. The website Wii Have a Problem is collecting cases of Wii-related accidents. Under the subject of health and safety precautions, Nintendo says:

1. Wear the wrist strap.
2. Hold the Wii Remote firmly and do not let go.

    I think you should throw the controller like an animal to break the cord and then crash the tv screen :/…

    Also I want one of those ^^

    I have played the Wii (my friend’s, not my own, sigh) quite a bit at this point, and I have to say that the people who break their televisions have no room to complain. In every Wii game that I’ve seen, there is a screen reminding you _every time you start a game_ to securely wear the wrist strap to prevent such occurences. It doesn’t flash by quickly, either.

    I hope a few dumb kids don’t ruin the fun for the rest of us — this is starting to remind me of why there are now “hot things are hot” labels on every cup of coffee you buy.

    I wonder what game they were playing.

    I have a wii and I agree they always tell you to use the strap. However the covers they sell come with a strap that matches in color that does not have the ability to tighten so I just use the strap that comes with the remote.

    Just flick the remotes. You don’t have to move them that much. The little straps help but they aren’t made that well.

    The people that trow the remotes should learn their lesson and pay what they break. I know from experience by throwing a couple PS2 and XBOX controllers to the floor.
