Wow, I just read an article in Gameinformer, about all these injuries, from the Wii,and they're making this thing called the Wii, full body pod.
The article goes as following
"We've all seen the YouTube videos of televisions ruined by an overexcited gamer throwing a Wii remote through thier set. Nintendo initially sought to combat the lack of general motor skills by encouraging gamers to use the remote's wrist strap, but clearly it didn't take.As a response Nintendo is launching a new play it safe initiative.
"Many of our Following customers are very fragile, due to lack of excersize and low bone density caused by a lack of sun exposure", commented company spokesman Reggie Fils-Aime. "Frankly most of them look like dudes I used to give swirlies to in high school - I was all state football, two years. We've had a lot of reports of broken ankles, sprained wrists, and that was just playing tetris party! Man, you should see the pictures we got of Wii Fit injuries; it looks like the aftermath of a soccer riot.
The linchpin of the play it safe campaign is the WiiBodyPod, a new full body version of the wii remote jacket By stepping into the WiiBodyPod, gamers will be protected from injury by a polyurethane shell as they flail and flop, their ways through Raymans Raving Rabiids Hey, it's the best we could do; I hope it works. But these people are Amazing, this one guy managed to cut his thumb off with the numchuck! "how'd he even do that?" marvled Fils-Aime.
