Approximately 3.2 million Wii remote game controller wrist straps are being recalled and replaced with a slightly beefier version (from 0.024 inch diameter to 0.04 inch). The process will cost Nintendo millions, which ain’t too good since they are also recalling some DS power adapters across the oceans. To request a new strap, Wii owners will need to complete a web form on Nintendo’s site. New straps will ship beginning Dec. 21, 2006. Can’t say I’m too surprised. Nintendo is all about a groovy gaming experience, and pricey repair costs and broken lamps won’t make too many parents happy.
