Just saw this thread and I'm amazed by the damaged caused by a Wii remote.

... Is it a bad thing if this sam thing has happen to me, but with a regular PlayStation remote ???

With the batteries in the Wii remote, it's got quite a bit of heft to it. Plus the player always believes more is better, so they put all their might into it.

Those two make for a broken TV screen and a whining idiot.

Note they mentioned that a kid did it....which leads me to believe that the kid might have not been holding it properly to make sure it wouldn't fly out of his/her hand, as kids tend to seem things are indestructable & therefore show a blantant disreguard to any kind of warning. I'm assuming the weed & booze mentioned probably didn't help either....

Seriously, I've never had a problem with one slipping out of my hand in the slightest....with or without one of those colored gloves on it. I really don't see how anyone really could unless they were just really lightly handling it.

To this day, I can never understand how that can happen. No Wii game I've played requires that much brute force in its motions.But apparently it happened enough that Nintendo issued a replacement program for the wrist straps.

That...is....awsome.....

Haha. Ive seen endless stories like this. Just goes to show this gimmick doesnt work, and is defective and false advertising on Nintendo's part as they say NOT to jump around like a loon when playing these games, yet EVERY commercial for the Wii has people in them doing exactly that.

What a load of junk...

That shattered TV looks awesome.

You didn't read the thread, did you?

Locust and Nemesis Cyberplex both said that Wii games don't require the kind of force necessary to throw it at and break a TV.

Really the Nintendo hating is getting really annoying and retarded. Mostly just going "SEE?!?!lol" without hearing a second opinion.

Have you played a Wii?
