Well, I guess it was only a matter of time. After Wiimotes started getting flung every which way by overeager Wii owners, breaking TVs and ruining Saturday afternoons, Nintendo has decided to recall all of the Wiimote straps out there. They've got some thicker ones to replace them that hopefully will be able to withstand the force of a sweatypalmed gamer zealously playing Wii Bowling.

If you are a current Wii owner and worry that your powerful swings will endanger your loved ones or household electronics, go to this form here and put in the pertinent information. Fortunately, you don't need to mail back the wussy Wii strap to get a new one, just a serial number is required to prove that you aren't hoarding new Wiimote straps without even owning a Wiimote. — Adam Frucci
