Need a better grip on your Wiimote? Try handcuffs

We've been telling you non-stop about those errant Wiimotes that seem to be taking out everything from people to windows ever since they first hit the streets. And yes, to its credit, Nintendo appears to be including better straps and is advising people to just chill out when they get their Wii on. However, if you want to be absolutely, 100 percent certain that your Wiimote isn't going to go anywhere, you may want to handcuff it to your wrist as this fellow Karunga did. Next meme: pictures of Wiimotes attached to severed hands hanging from gaping holes.

Is it wrong that the picture turns me on?

My friend and I just looped some 8lb fishing line between the strap and the Wiimote the same size as the current string that's there.

Now we're not whipping the control all over, but we haven't had any close calls or hints of it breaking yet.

Or, one could just keep their hands clasped firmly about the remote...just a thought. Because, you know, my favorite thing to do is trust my $39.99 remote and $19.99 nunchuk to a $.01 strap.

Really!?! 'Cause I don't think anyone thought of that before you typed it out. ;)

Things wrong with your post:

#1 If the wiimote costed $39.99 and the strap cosed $.01 then wouldnt the wiimote and strapn cost $40. Last I checked they were only $39.99.

#2 As far as I have seen the wiimote usualy lives and the TV gets smashed.

Guess his girlfriend isn't too kinky; those are the fake handcuffs with a release switch.

Next we are going to hear reports about people hands flying off clutching the Wii-mote.

LOL. wait...then people are going to attach Wii-mote directly to their wrist. Has anyone seen "Evil Dead II"?

that sounds like a photoshop project to me.

Kinky !!!

Oh another wii solution. Who cares! What a waste of an entry.

[falcom @ Dec 14th 2006 1:03PM]

who cares? If you failed preschool motor skills class then you don't deserve to play video games and deserve your tv being broken. People need to grow up.

My replacement remote showed up yesterday. It was sent back do to the alledgedly common jitter problem*, and the new remote had a slightly thicker, and brighter, cord.

* though really what I had was "it only works if I turn it at a right angle and any movement that swings it forward (like how you bowl) will instantly trigger this and thus I have to pop a battery and resych, though it's really the resetting of the remote and not the resynching that does it"
