A "Wii" Wrist Strap Problem...

I still dont see how anyone is breaking their windows and tvs with the controller. Do they butter themselves up before playing or something? I've never lost grip on my Wii while playing with it. (yes yes yes, jokes abound its cute.)

The intense gaming sweat combined with an easy-slip remote spells disaster for some Nintendo Wii fans. How long will this continue? When will Nintendo get off their lazy asses and create a safer remote for their Nintendo Wii users? When will the time come when a Nintendo Wii fan accidentally swings the ''Wiimote'' the wrong way, possibly starting off a deadly chain of events? Maybe one day you're playing and the remote flies out of your hand. Knocks over the fish tank. Splash of water gets on the power outlet, sparks a fast moving fire. And since you spent the last straight week playing Zelda, you haven't really kept the place clean. The piles of flaming trash and debris trap you in your own home. You end up being burned to death. How will Nintendo respond if something like this happens? How? How would they respond when the family of the Nintendo Wii fan who was killed by a fire that partly has the Wii for the blame of starting decides to sue you?

what the **** are you smoking?

Maybe one day your stupid enough to not listen or read to the warning signs that state to be at a safe distance from anything that can easily fall over and ****. Not to mention, your posed to tighten the wrist strap.

I've played the Wii, and so far no trouble. I also work at a gamestop, while there I've had a chance to play it in a moderately cluttered area. No fuckin problem. I'm not a retarded 4 year old (Who shouldnt play the wii yet) or a stupid senseless 7 year old (who is supposed to have their parents teach them how to handle such an object or be watching over them). I've apparently been able to cope with playing the Wii in a store with people watching and no accidents happened.

Not to mention, if your only 7 and can't control yourself, you shouldn't have a Wii, none the less a Wiimote. There is such a thing as the Classic Controller. Besides. Zanium. Think for a moment you idiot.

It doesn't matter how safe a controller is. Everything is equally dangerous in clumsy hands. Even if it was wired, it could still cause just as much trouble. Unfortunately it isn't. Even if there was a tight wrist band that wouldn't budge without a key, it could still potentially be very dangerous(if not more due to the fact the tight wrist clamp could easily injure the player).

Don't ever overlook the other systems and put you anti Wii Bias on us here..

The PS3, by Sony, the posers who copy every Nintendo Innovation practically, and have even begun to steal Microsoft's, also has a wireless and motion sensible design for their SIXAXIS, which didnt have such a thing untill Wii's Wiimote announcement. They could have essentially the same problem...

The day you understand that there is no such thing as safety you'll understand. It's not about being safe, it's about knowing what safe is.

A wiimote won't kill anybody who knows how to use it safely.

I dont know about you, Zanium, but while playing Zelda for 12 hours straight, or Red Steel, or the intense, epileptic wand-wave-masher DBZ game, I've never sweat so profusely that the controller slipped from my hands.
 
I'm right!:170:

The Wiimote should of been designed with a rubber grip built into the part where your hand and fingers are most likely to be. And the wrist strap should be made out of tougher material.

Maybe I should mention that I do play with a Wii-mote glove. >_>; You can buy them at the store, they are these rubbery covers that fit over your Wii-mote and give them a kewl color. I have a greenish cover on my Wiimote currently. The only problem is that it's a bitch to remove the cover to replace batteries
 
I'm gonna step in here and say that even after playing Wii boxing, the most strenuous of Wii games, I've NEVER gotten sweaty enough that the Wii mote has any danger of slipping from my hand.
