Need to hear the latest story concerning Nintendo's new game controller/property destroyer/would-be murderer? Wiihaveaproblem.com has you covered.
They're keeping a running tally on reported instances of Wiimotes Gone Wild, with a constantly updated "Damage Toll" on the right sidebar. So far, the Wiimote is responsible for 2 dead televisions, 1 ceiling fan, 2 walls, and 1 window. And, as evidenced by the above picture, one or two cuticles.
Whether you own a Wii and need to understand the truly violent potential of your newly-bought system, or if you're weighing the pros and cons of getting one once they become available, it'd probably do you good to check out some of the victims' stories. And then come back to Destructoid, obviously.

I've been playing the system with four players constantly with copious amounts of drinking simulatneously. I've suprisingly only had one problem where this girl dove for a ball in Tennis (yes, stupid) and hit another player in the arm with the Remote while swinging. She is easily excitable and perhaps needed more warnings from me about the game. No one has let go of the Remote yet, and they better not.. cause i had to have them shipped in as they are sold out everywhere in my area.
As for why we haven't heard of any stories out of Japan like this... It hasn't even been released in Japan yet, right?
I bet most of them are still functional.
I think people need to be better educated (by nintendo) that one doesn't need to use all of their strength to play wii.
Cheers!
