| Nintendo: Proper Wii Remote Usage Nintendo is continuing a dialogue with its customers about the proper and safe use of the motion-sensitive Wii Remote controller when playing Wii Sports. The following tips are advised for safe play: - Always wear the wrist strap while playing. - Keep a firm grip on the Wii Remote at all times. - Make sure people and objects are out of the range of movement before play begins. Other things to keep in mind include: - Players should keep at least three feet from their televisions and should dry their hands if they become moist. - Remember that the Wii Remote is responsive enough to detect minor movements ? so excessive and forceful actions are not necessary. - The motions made are similar to real-life sports games, but the force is not. These tips complement efforts already underway: - Nintendo has been replacing broken wrist straps for consumers who request them. - Nintendo operates a toll-free number and a Web site for customers to request replacement wrist straps. Consumers can call 1-800-859-4519 or visit support.nintendo.com to get a replacement wrist strap. - All new Wii hardware shipments include new wrist straps and a safety sheet. - Links about Wii safety are available on various Nintendo Web sites, including multiple links on Nintendo.com, Wii.Nintendo.com and the Nintendo World store Web site. - Nintendo sent an e-mail message to members of the MyNintendo customer-loyalty program about Wii Remote safety. A similar message will be sent each week to consumers who register their new Wii systems at MyNintendo.com. - Games include on-screen advisories about proper wrist strap use. - Nintendo includes an insert about Wii safety with all correspondence dealing with Wii product repairs and replacements. In the coming weeks, Nintendo will: - Send electronic messages to Internet-connected Wii systems to highlight key Wii safety points. - Update the Wii operations manual and the manual for Wii Sports with additional wrist strap cautions and specific game advice. - Update on-screen wrist strap advisories to include additional messaging. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Game News :: home page |
