Nintendo Wii – Site For Damaged TVs, VCRs, Walls, Furniture… And Safety Warnings

Posted by on Dec 7, 2006 | 2 Comments

Well a site has popped up on the Net where users of the new Nintendo Wii game console can post the damage that has been caused when they wield their wand too quickly, or when the wrist strap breaks. I’m not sure how accurate these postings are or if they really have happened or not. One gamer posted:

Yesterday I was playing baseball on Wii sports with some friends and, obviously, we were really getting into it. It [was] my turn to pitch and my Wiimote [slipped] out of my hand as I [swung] my arm. “Don’t worry,” I thought, “that’s what the safety strap is there for.” Then it snapped. My Wiimote flew out of my hand and hit my TV, crashing through the bottom left corner of the screen. We still finished the game. [Source: Wii Have A Problem]

I’ll leave it to you, the reader, to decide how accurate these claims may be.

Seems there may be more to this than meets the eye. Seems like Nintendo has sent out a safety warning which has been posted here.

    Wii error code: 110213

    For others like me having this problem I got some bad news. Our Wii’s have a rare glitch that results from an update. This causes something that makes your Wii permanetly not be able to connect to the internet. Luckly Nintendo is replacing the Wii’s free of charge. You can either buy a memory card and transfor your game data and put your mii’s in your Wii mote because you have to send Nintendo your old Wii. I checked because i wanted to make one of those youtube videos where they smash those game systems.
    The wait for yor new Wii is 3-4 buisness days and while your waiting that stupid duck hunt dog will be in your bushes when you come home from school laughing at you. If you can’t use your memory stick Nintendo will transfer your data but it will take 8-12 buisness days. I f you want the number to Nintendo it is 1-800-255-3700. Glad i could be of help and if you play Runescape add me.
