Nintendo Offers Free Wiimote Strap Replacement

Nintendo Offers Free Wiimote Strap Replacement

None

Nintendo has decided to offer replacement wrist straps for gamers who are concerned about the delicacy of their strap. In addition to replacing the straps free of charge, Nintendo is reminding gamers how to properly use the strap. The following are common sense rules issued by Nintendo to remind users how to properly use their Wiimote:

  • 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.
  • Players should keep at least three feet from their televisions and dry their hands if the become sweaty or wet for any other reason.
  • Remember that the Wii Remote is responsive enough to detect minor movements – so excessive and forceful actions are not necessary. Therefore, we recommend not to use excessively rapid, violent, or wide swinging motions while using the Wii Remote during game play.

If you are still having problems with the device or have already broken your strap, check out this site for more info on how to get your free replacement.
