Wii-itis? Sounds like fun.
Kozuch | 12:26 PM on 06.11.2007 3 comments




Coming as no surprise to anyone, there was a report from ABC 3 the other day that Wiis are causing kids pain and discomfort. And not just from the console's lackluster library of games either. Check the article here

In the story, some medical "expert" talks about kids suffering from shoulder injuries and tendinitis from extended bouts of wii gaming (Although these are not nearly as crippling as the torment you will receive from your peers for having "wii-itis").

I'm sure this will in no way hurt the Nintendo juggernaut, but it's interesting to see another chink in their shiny, money-lined armor. First flying wii-motes, and now an ailment that sounds a lot like a VD. What's next, are gypsies are going to come out of the Wii at night and steal my wallet?

Why do you keep bumping this up?

It's just like the "Pokemon causes seizures" rumor, pure bullshit.

I was fixing some grammar errors. Apparently when you edit your post it bumps it up. My bad.

 about me

I can't say I'm a fanboy of anything in particular, just love games in general. With the insane amount of time I waste researching and reading about games, hopefully I can pass on some of what I learn to the faithful D-toid community.
