First Wiimote strap breaks - wall damage for IGN

November 22, 2006 on 1:35 am | In Wall Damage |
Wiimote-Shaped Hole In The Wall

What may look to you like a boring beige section of wall is actually something much more significant. This is the first piece of Nintendo Wii-induced wall damage (the first of many we suspect). It occurred a little over a week ago, on 13th November 2006.

This was before the official launch of the Wii, and IGN were trying out their demo unit. Before committing their review to the masses, they decided to give their precious controllers over to the girls from the ‘ad sales’ department - the non-gamers of the office - to see how they would fare.

The girls took to it immediately, and during a particularly energetic game of Tennis (notch one up for Tennis on the Wii Damage danger list), the remote slipped, the strap broke, and the Wiimote-cum-projectile came to an abrupt halt on the review room wall.

We’re going to have to keep an eye on these wrist straps…

There’s an interesting aside to this story. The Wiimote exploded on impact, falling into pieces around the review room, but when the geeky guy in the room reassembled the device IT WORKED - good as new. Shame about the office wall…
