Wii Strap Recall

Hey all,

Back from extraction of wisdom... er, wisdom teeth. Recovering fine, I guess. But the big news is the Nintendo Wii Strap Recall!

An article from the Washington Post talks a bit about Nintendo's recent announcement.

wiihaveaproblem.com is also detailing the recall.

Follow this link to go directly to Nintendo's strap recall page.

The new strap is thicker and 'beefier'. Hopefully it will be strong enough to withstand the force that some idiots use when playing. Or, they could be more idiotic and use even more force... ;_;

I'll probably be ordering some replacement straps just for the hell of it. Safety first, right? :)

I think people are just breaking the wii straps on purpose to get attention. I've swung the wiimote over and over with the strap hanging on, and that thing is solid as stone.

Nick:

this is just like people moving their nintendo controller all around trying to make mario jump higher. It will not help your performance!!!
