I have a feeling a lot of Wii controllers are going to be accidently thrown...

someone's gonna be hitting someone.

It doesn't actually require large gestures, you can get away with just flicking your wrist in many cases.

Haha such a misconception that is! The vibrating action on a controller, phone, or pager (does anyone use them anymore? hehe) is achieved by mounting a tiny electric motor firmly to the chassis. A half moon key is firmly attached to the shaft. When the motor is energized, the extremely off balance motor vibrates the piece. That is quite a different movement than the 'other' vibrator.

Geeez how did I get caught up in this? :shocked:

Oh and tossing about: that's no accident. Look up Second City TV. :laugh:

Actually, no, it's not a very different movement. That weird Hitatchi thing withstanding, they're all prettymuch the same mechanism. Different weightings, possibly, but they all operate on the same principle.

I should know, I've taken one apart for modification purposes.

If they don't have the motor control to hold the remote and are too dumb to use the strap, they just plain deserve it.

People are retarded. You don't have to swing it with nearly enough force to break a TV to play Wii Sports Bowling.

 

[pontifex]

i have a wii and have played all of wii sports and some of zelda and not once did i think that the remote would fly out of my hand. they must be swinging them by the lanyard or soemthing.

I think you'd have to be Wiitarded to start throwing your controller around.

From the few reports I've heard, the strap is actually breaking, sending the remote flying across the room. Granted they shouldn't be swinging that hard, but this is a defect with the strap itself.

 

[randay]

The strap has been known to break. Also there is a high chance of damaging/injuring people and property around you, not just your TV. Not everyone has a huge room where they can fit 4 wildly swinging wii players. Sh!t will happen but I doubt Nintendo will be liable for any of it.

 

[Tremulant]

Even is the strap is breaking, you shouldn't be releasing the controller.

Since that's the case, the strap shouldn't break or wear out as much. One of the reasons why some of us seen broken TV screens related to the Wii console is that gamers are just too close to the screen when moving the controller around.

Best to put some distance from yourself to the television screen just to be on the safe side.
