More Wiinjuries; man assaults store guards with Wiimote (thousands dead)

More Wiinjuries; man assaults store guards with Wiimote (thousands dead) photo
     wii

(Alright, so nobody died, but I wanted to see if I could get Rob excited enough to pee all over the floor.)

In Nagoya, Japan (a country defined by its love for all things Nintendo), a man broke into the local Bic Camera (an electronics retailer) and tried to make off with a Wiimote. When stopped by the guards, he used his years of training as a repressed nerd to bludgeon them savagely with the controller. The guards suffered hand and chest injuries, and one of them was made fun of by his kids. A lot.

Well folks, I think we've reached the pinnacle of Wiinjury hilarity. Unless someone is actually assassinated with one, the ridiculousness of this string of silly incidents has come to its penultimate end. I think I speak for everyone here at Destructoid when I say; "Will one of you please murder someone with a Wiimote? It would be really funny for us."

[UPDATE: Nex lies. Often. He once got out of a test in high school by claiming he was descended from a Native American shaman and that he was late for a blood ritual that would grant him the powers of a wolf. Also, the above story seems to share some of those falsehoods; apparently the guy was just jacking the store for its Wiimote and used good, old fashioned kung-fu to beat the guards senseless. Sorry about the confusion, and Nex will be boiled alive for his crimes against humanity.]

I propose a game where you just beat people and fling the Wii mote at things. That'd be the whole game. See how many TV's you can break and people you can assault.

All hail Wiimote!

If I don't finish this semester, you might see the world's first wiimote death on the Gainesville news. Just you wait.

If the Wiimote sustains physical shock (like, you bash someone over the head with it) it can knock out the motion sensing capabilities but leave the pointing intact. The way I remedied this was by banging it into something again. Like when Fred Flintstone lost his memory. The Wii begets violence begets more violence!

I think the only thing that could top that is an article about a man saving someone from falling off a building with the wiimote strap!

@ Dexter345

No, Nex corrected an error he made in the original post. Instead of leaving that correction in the archives where no one would see it, he brought it back to the front page.

Im hoping to see a Wii used as a weapon in a new kung fu movie like KILL BILL2, The Wii will be at the end of a chain and death and destruction will ensue with every strike! And of course if the wrong person were to possess this weapon little spikes would shoot out and cut their hands....cuz it knows whos holding it.
