Nintendo Wii Fanboy

Kids still do that these days, they don't think the strap is needed.

Not only that, a lot of people pull the notch on the strap ALL THE WAY DOWN BEFORE putting it on the strap...so it hangs really loose.
I'm not talking about a few either. I'm talking about A LOT, for some reason, no one grasps the idea of how to put it on properly.

PS3 freaks always try to use the whole "wiimote flew off and hit plasma screen"-excuse against the Wii... but they don't realize it's the users faults for not putting on their straps properly ( and the old straps weren't bad! Mine still work completely to this day! )...

And.. er... yes, people do swing that hard. I swing that hard.
When you get into the game, you REALLY get into the game.
...you should see how hard I throw it...


But these kids really need to know how to HOLD ON TIGHT when you're swinging the Wiimote... it's as if their hands are made of grease or something.

I called the big N and asked for the newer straps with the locking clasp on them, and they sent em.

I now have 4 complete straps of all 3 versions.

When getting the latest set (with locking clasp), I had to call, and tell them that the 2nd gen straps with the little slider piece would always come loose, and the strap would always slip back off. Which actually, is completely true.

Best....comment...ever...

Hey TheDave do you still have an invoice or something with the part numbers for the new wrist straps with the clasp? I did the wrist strap replacement and I was given the part number 62519 when I check the order details and I want to make sure I am getting the clasp on the straps.

Bingo! I think that's exactly what happened.. It looks like the kid in the back corner on the recliner is the actual son and the kid at bat is a friend of his.. he swings, breaks the entertainment center glass door and you're right, the mom isn't going to go ape shit on him or anything since it isn't her kid. To me, both of their reactions show that they aren't related. My friends and I were in similar situations growing up and this is how it always played out.

I never wear the wrist strap and my Wii remote has never flown into the wall, tv or anything. It depends on the games you play and how you use the Wii remote. Most of the games I have (Super Paper Mario, SMG, MP3, DBZ BT3, and RE4) have very limited movement with the Wii remote if any at all. Which is why I love the fact RE4, DBZ BT3, and soon to be SSBB use the classic controller.
