Wii Know It To Be True
December 14th, 2006
I’ve been playing the Wii (nearly said ‘with my Wii’ – oops!) for a few days now, and the novelty of flailing my controller instead of hunching over analogue sticks still hasn’t worn off.
My actions might be a little more reserved if I were being watched… Wouldn’t want to look a ‘toolbox’!
My first Wii-related breakage happened when I forgot the Wiimote was strapped to my wrist, put it down and reached out for a glass of water, swinging the controller out of my lap and sluicing the coffee table. Stupid, I know – but I’m not alone.
A couple of people have reported accidentally hitting each other with the remote during frantic games of tennis, among many other things. Someone else has even put their Wiimote through the telly, with some force it would appear. The wrist strap cord looks like it will wear out quite quickly if it’s always being detached and reattached from the nunchuck socket, so I guess this is an insurance niche to watch in the future.
