BeemerBoy Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Okay, so this is of no interest to me, but since I'm really bored at work right now I thought I'd post it for the hundreds of you who it would appeal to. Anyway, you can now replace your Wii wristband if so desired. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16222369/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primogen18 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 eh, interesting. I'm not sure I really need it since I dont really throw the thing around, but if I do get it, it would be for asthenic purposes only so it blends in with future wiimotes I buy, lol.

PhishyBrewer Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Ehh, screw it. I'll keep the controllers I've got now. I'll just act a little calmer when cracking the butt of my rifle across the German soldiers face when playing Call of Duty 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeliriumTrigger Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 ^From what I understand you don't have to send anything back. And even if you did, it'd be the wrist strap itself, not the whole controller. At least, I didn't see anything mentioned on Nintendo's page when I ordered mine.

darklingscribe Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I doubt they'd ask you to send the original strap back. It would cost them even more money and, in the end, what use are they for Nintendo? No, probably they'll just tell you to throw out the old straps, when you get the new ones in. It is interesting to note that the first major news site that is reporting on this is the one run by Microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 ^Strange, guess that means they're paying attention to the competition! This is weird, I don't see what's wrong with the old ones! I figured it was the users' fault for not using the wrist-strap properly, but maybe not...either way, at least everyone can now safely play with their Wii I'm looking to get one soon after Christmas, I have the money finally. I wonder if the controllers will have the new wrist-straps on them in the next shipments of the system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterviper Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I personally thing the Wii is a joke. I really dont see the fun in swinging your arms around like a retard trying to hit a ball or boxing in a ring. It seriously looks stupid to play!! As far as I know its a computerized excersize machine. Ok to the topic....... I guess Nintendo didnt take into concideration at how crazy some people might get with the controller! Here is an example! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen_AZN Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 ^ Is that girl giving birth or somthing? So basically, i was about to write that i wouldn't bother my time or waste nintendo's money on getting a new streap,, because i trust myself and my grip enough not to care... But before i got a chance my dad came in and said "Hey, mark, i ordered a new wriststrap for you from Nintendo!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Are these straps free? I think I may order myself 4 of them as backups just incase of any snappage. (I'm taking my Wii to my aunts tomorrow and my younger cousins as well as adults are probably going to try it out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen_AZN Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 ... because i trust myself and my grip enough not to care... I jynxed myself! I was just playing bowling, and, OOPS.
