Zell and Shorty you stole my words.

Or make a special edition wired Wii Mote for people that have weak grip, like to exaggerate their swings to the extreme or have disabilities (including physical injury and/or defective chromosome).

Just hold onto the bloody controller. If that is too hard buy the controller glove so it gives you more grip.

Are you serious? I'm afraid you were a tool there...:santa:

Permanently glue it to your hand, almost fail-save.

I guess one of the first things I'll actually do is to remove the strap from the Wiimote. I also refused to apply the thumbstrap to the DS due to aesthetic reasons.

You know that has no way of connecting to the Wimote? The part of the wrist-strap that snaps is the small part that ties it onto the Wiimote.

Looks a lot weaker than the Wii Remote's part. Which is the most important part of the whole strap.

Some strong, girlish ribbon would be better surely.

Here's my solution! Hold on to the controller!

Totally agree.

We already discussed it. With cheaper alternatives.

But the thing is, unless you don't hold the controller properly, or you actually throw the remote, you won't even need the normal one.

About the Wii Remote's strap: I love the Wii console-shaped little plastic bit on it.

Awesome cartoon.

Well like a few people have said, the solution is don't be a spacker and throw your remote around while you're trying to chew your ear.

A small update; Nintendo are now investigating the strap breakages to see if there is anything they can do.

Maybe they'll decide to replace the string with something stronger in future Wiis and Wiimotes.

The solution is to not be a spasticated cretin and learn how to use your thumbs.

yeah if the wii was being played by monkeys I could understand them dropping it. but we've got aposeable thumbs to give grip!!! the human hand has evolved to hold the wiimote now use your thumbs!!!!!
