Nintendo concerned with bad Wiimote use, issue instructions

by David Hinkle { Dec 6th 2006 at 1:45PM }

The above message comes direct from Nintendo, following the many reported injuries and catastrophes that have been the result of long gameplay sessions. It's OK, we understand how it goes; playing Wii Sports can be vigorous and we've been guilty, on many an occasion, of perhaps getting a little too into it. And where we'd normally snicker at emails such as these, this one, we feel, is warranted.

I let my friends sister borrow my Wiimote now it has brown spots on it and it smells like fish. How can I clean this thing?

cubeboy?
btw how am i supposed to see from more than three (3) feet away?

You're supposed to stay at least six (6) feet from your TV anyway, to keep from burning your retinas out. And if you're swinging hard enough to accidentally let go, get one of the grip covers they have available.

Those grip covers are nice in theory, but I find them impractical. They cover the entire remote, making it a pain to replace batteries or to sync it up if you bring you're remote to a friend's house. Also, some of the buttons, especially the home button, are hard to press. But, if you're that worried about the remote slipping out of your hand, the covers do provide a nice grip.
