Nintendo promises to replace wrist straps after barrage of Wiinjuries

Yes, Nintendo has promised to replace your Wii wrist strap if you accidentally break it while bowling or perhaps putting in a particuarly vicious cross-court volley. Users can ring Nintendo's national customer service helpline, or send their frayed straps back to the company for a replacement. If you have found yourself the victim of a wrist strap malfunction, you can also fill out the online request form. There's even a dedicated email address - wiiwriststrap@codestorm.co.uk - where perhaps injured and incapacitated gamers can reach experts in the event of an emmergency.

If you haven't yet succumbed to a movement sensor related calamity, please - for the sake of yourself and those within striking distance - read this safety information. Don't let the next black eye be your wife's.
