Wii Have A Problem

December 8, 2006

We still haven’t picked up a Wii yet. I think my Mom and I are going to wait until after Christmas to get one actually. However, I still enjoy reading about it and fantasizing about all of the wonderful games of bowling I will be able to play once we do get it. During my research, I came across this website – Wii Have A Problem. It’s a website dedicated to the Wii, (I guess you would have gotten that from the name though, eh?), and the various problems that arise with new technology.

The most common problem? The wrist strap breaking and controllers flying. Hmm, sounds kind of familiar. Unfortunately, there are horror stories of people getting as enthusiastic as I was and throwing their remotes into their TV’s. Yikes!

I particularly like this image -

What strikes me about this too is that apparently the guys with the projectile said that they removed the remote from the TV and continued playing their game. If so, that remote is INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!!!

There are also other images there of broken LCD’s, ;( and broken laptops from flying remotes.

The strap problem is so widespread that the President of Nintendo announced that they are going to work in getting better straps out there for the consoles. Neat!

I am still coveting one and am already trying to think of ways of strengthening the strap or switching it out with something else I could whip up that would be stronger and have a little more give – like maybe a hair elastic? Hmmm.
