Ah, new generation of gaming consoles, new generation of unexpected user problems. Apparently some people get so into flailing around with their Wii remotes that the wrist straps break, sending the remotes flying into expensive living room equipment.
For those who somehow haven't heard, the new Nintendo Wii gaming console heralds a new kind of interactive gaming experience by using a remote control with motion sensors such that your physical actions (arm movements) drive the game play, rather then just your thumbs.
Those games must be intense. Nintendo has issued a warning about it and there's even a blog site that's cropped up called Wiihaveaproblem.com to chronicle the mishaps.
I for one agree with many bloggers that Wii may be a great way to help fight obesity in kids. Hey, guess what, sports-like motions yields sports-like injuries. Who knew!
