Wii Have a Problem
http://www.wiihaveaproblem.com/
A site to describe all the Wii accidents due to the WiiMote flying around the room.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Er, honestly, if you're swinging your Wiimote so hard that the wrist strap breaks, I think maybe you have a problem.
Seriously, though, some are pretty funny. I sincerely hope that there was someone outside to see the Wiimote that flew through a window. There's nowhere I can't reach. Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and the going of Him. |

From all the thing I though that could go wrong with the Wii this wasn't one of them, but not that I think about it it's really bound to happen to almost everyone in some degree. I for one have (very?) sweaty hand while playing and I can see the Wiimote flying from my hands on a action packed game... all I know is that if the Wiimote broke my TV the console would meet the trash bin in the same instant! That or I would stop playing until a 3rd party Wiimote is available.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Sigh. Wii Sports isn't the fucking Olympics, ok. I don't know why people go around taking a built-in game so seriously. Does anyone remember that time someone was attempting to sue Konami because they broke their leg while playing Dance Dance Revolution? I haven't played a Wii yet. Is really really fast movement in the Wii Sports games seriously this necessary? I'm not surprised this is happening though. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
The video of the guy that hasn't slept for 5 days is PRICELESS.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Haha, wow, I somehow hadn't seen that before. That guy is my new hero.
How ya doing, buddy? Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and the going of Him. |
But I have rather sweaty hands, and I've *never* had a problem with the controller even coming close to slipping out of my grip, and the strap is durable enough so that you have to put in WAY more power than necessary to break it. Most amazing jew boots |

yeah, I kind of figured the wire snap would've been a big problem. especially when you give them to kids, cause kids would destroy it just because it can be destroyed
Jam it back in, in the dark. You know what? you just might be full enough of shit to apply for congress |
To have sweaty hands is one thing, another is a case of morons wanting to be internet heroes. LOOK I JUST DID.
It's not fucking inevitable that this will happen to you. I dare any of you to stand forward and say you play with exaggerated moves like that. I will only laugh at you for looking like a retarded fruitcake. I did feel sorry for this guy though. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Wow, that video with the guy cutting his fingers playing Wii Tennis... ouch, that sucks.
As for throwing Wiimotes... I just can't see it. Even if you do get sweaty hands playing video games [which generally happens when you're gaming unless your house is an icebox], that's it's not easy to THROW a controller that you have a decent grip on. Or should have. I have to say, I think Penny Arcade said it best. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I think this says it best.
I was always under the impression that Wii Sports was only a taste of the Wii remote's capabilities and to give people a taste of what it's like to use. In saying that, people taking the game seriously is kinda pointless. I was speaking idiomatically. |
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

I think the dude who got hit by the fan should have paid more attention to the "GTFO of the way of objects" warnings.
It's his own fault. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I don't even have a Wii myself cause they are always sold out when I can get to the store. And what do I see ? Morons that can't even play maturely. Give me your Wii before destroying your life.

Lesson learned here:
- Play in open area's - Use the fucking wrist strap. - Make sure the wrist strap is secure. - Wipe your damn hands if it gets sweaty. This isn't a PS3 controller where you can let it slide or something. I want a Wii myself, even before I get one, i'm doing alot of shit to make sure this doesn't happen to me. But I swear, people lose common sense when they start playing the Wii sometimes. "Oh, I didn't see that fan." Why the fuck were you swinging that high anyway? "It slipped out of my hands." 1. Why are you swinging so hard. 2. That ball in Wii Baseball isn't going to go any faster than a 100. Lay off already. But here's a solution to everyone's problems. Get a projector instead of you 60" HDTV. At least if it slips, you're only hitting the wall. And the controller costs a lot less than the remote to replace than your HDTV does. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
wow, someone has to be a hardcore gamer for that to happen.

Seriously, use some common sense. Don't fling the wiimote all over the place. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
This web site, along with an article about the Wiimote, was featured on Yahoo! hompage this morning: http://videogames.yahoo.com/ongoingf...=494785&page=0
People just need to stand back a bit when someone is Wiiing - they don't call it a nunchuck controller for nothin'! How ya doing, buddy?

My view on the flying wiimote issue:
"Hello everyone. My name is Jason, and I'm here to tell you Nintendo didn't think this Wiimote thing through. You see, I was so hyped about the Wii, letting me play as if I was actually the character I'm controlling, like in Wii Sports. I blazed through the manual and noticed that the instructions say to swing the Wiimote gently. I remember Nintendo spokespeople saying the same thing, saying that only small motions were necessary. **** THAT! I'm gonna swing this mother****er around like crazy. Oh its ok. I have the wrist strap on. Sure, I'll get worn out and possible pulled muscles swinging my wiimote with over-excessive force, but I don't care! I'll look cool in the mirror as I play by myself! If my friends see me, they's all be like 'COOL! He's going crazy with his Wii! And he doesn't even HAVE to to control his characters! AWESOME, D00DZ!!' Yeah. I'm so ****ing awesome. Oh...I'm getting a bit sweaty. The wiimote is slipping a bit, but its ok. I have the wrist strap! Time to play baseball! Ok, I have baseball on. Ah...the pitcher is throwing a slow ball. I'll just pretend I'm a real baseball player and power-swing this wiimote with every ounce of my power. **** small movements, I'll LOOK cool if I-" *SLLLLIP! CRASH!!!* "ZOMGWTFLOLBBQ?!?!?!?! OMG YOU ****ING NINTENDO MORONS! HOW COULD YOU MAKE SUCH A FAULTY SYSTEM AND A CONTROLLER THAT SUCKS THIS MUCH?! I BROKE MY WINDOW, FAN, TV, VASE, CAR, BRAIN, CAT, HOUSE WITH YOUR GODDAMN CONTROLLER! ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS SWING THE WIIMOTE AS HARD AND AS FAST AS I POSSIBLY CAN WITHOUT THINKING OF THE CONSEQUENCES AND YOU MADE ME BREAK BOTH MY ARMS AND GIVE ME 3RD DEGREE BURNS! NOW I'M GOING TO TELL ALL MY FRIENDS ON MY SONY/MICROSOFT MESSAGE BOARDS ALL ABOUT THIS SO THEY CAN TEST THIS OUT THEMSELVES AND MAKE FAKE VIDEOS! **** YOU ALL!" How ya doing, buddy? |
Ugh, the idiots who swing way too hard with it are wasting all their energy and it'll obviously end in tragedy. Nintendo shouldn't have to edit their product to accomodate these morons. I saw my friend playing Wii Bowling last night and he was swinging way too hard with it as well as not even attaching the wriststrap. This is probably what most of them are doing... but still I can't see how they manage to swing so hard without having a tight grip on the controller. How is it possible?
