Nintendo keeping you safe

 The Wii controller doesn’t strike fear into the hearts of those that wield it. But some over zealous player’s have damaged tevelvisions, pets, windows, and children alike. Accidents happen… but swinging your Wii-mote fast enough to break the speed of sound is just plain stupid. (Check out wiidamage.com for some examples.)
Enter Nintendo. They are looking to step up to protect us from the fatal Wii-mote. Nintendo has dedicated $17 million to ship free Wii-mote rubber cases to any and all Wii owners all around the world. By visiting Nintendo’s official site Wii owners can request up to 4 cases per Wii system. I own a Wii and I play many of the “dangerous” games Wii-victims were playing at the time accidents struck. A little bit of commonsense goes a long way when you’re playing motion-interactive games. Exercise caution when playing any game that requires movement. Make sure you have space enough to execute the movements required by the game. Even though I doubt I’ll be turning my living room into a real life batting cage, I’ll be signing up for four FREE Wii accessories! |
