If you own a Wii, your remote has been recalled.

Huzzah!

Except, its not a recall.

.

The wiimotes are fine. This is just for all the morons in the world that can't keep their greasy hands on their wiimote when they play games.



Also, WTF is a 'Rev'?

It seems Yoshi didn't the article, and just melted into a puddle of fanboy bliss when he read the word recall. I'll still never quite understand why people celebrate about things that don't effect them in the slightest.

If you own a Rev, your remote has been recalled.

Uh, they are recalling the STRAPS...not the Wiimotes. Read the article thoroughly before posting maybe?

Yoshi's just bitter. About what in particular..? That's anybody's guess..

Uh, I think he's happy that Nintendo is doing a voluntary recall for the remote straps. Not that Nintendo made a mistake.

.. He's been one of the biggest anti wii people here. He was happy because it was Nintendo admitting that the wii had a "problem." A problem that only effects idiots who can't hold onto a controller.

I always think it's retarded when people are happy to see a poor product or a products with problems with them. This isn't sports, better products are good regardless of weather you have an irrational bias against the company.

I vote that the title of the thread be changed to something more along the lines of "Moronic people who have sweaty palms and swing their Wii remotes around like crazed gorillas can get a new strap"

This totally isn't a recall at all, in any way shape or form.

Why Bother?

As everyone else has said... Not a recall. All you have to do is submit some application to Nintendo and they'll send you a new strap. You don't even have to send in the old one.

What? Since the beginning I've enjoyed the prospect of the rev and have really wanted one. Do you know what you're talking about?


Yeah.

The only reason I said "Wiimotes" is because it got more attention, and face it, why have a faulty strap if you can have a better one for free. No, it's not a "recall" or anything like that. Stop ****ing around with semantics--it's a replacement program, which isn't as eye-catching nor would it have more people read it (which would result in less people taking advantage of it.

ah-niiiiiiiiiiice!l

I love Nintendo.

Total Recall.

"Yoshi's never had anything positive to say, his Wii thread must be negative! Down with the Wii hater! Everyone, jump on the wagon!"

I'm just going by my impressions from reading his other posts, and the way this one was written seemed negative. And I'm bloody tired of fanboy posts for the new consoles.

Hi five for Nintendo handling the matter professionally.

So... you posted false info to get attention? Nowhere in your post did you tell the truth of the matter.

Seriously, everybody shut the hell up and stop trying to bash Yoshi. This is ridiculous. You've got 3 staff members now in this thread telling you all that you're misinterpreting something, and yet you still continue. Next person who comments on Yoshi, his posting style, or anything negative is getting banned, no questions asked.

Seriously though, what the hell is the 'Revolution?'

It was Nintendo's codename for the Wii. Some people say "Revolution" is a better name and refuse to call it the "Wii".

I'm not returning my Wiimote, I don't intend to flail around like an idiot so I'll be fine. My DS AC adapter doesn't even get warm much less hot so I think I'm good there too.

revolution was the old surname of the wii

The old surname? So Miss Nintendo Revolution got married and became Mrs. Nintendo Wii?

I only count 2.

He knows what it is. He's just mocking all the idiots that refuse to call it "Wii."

Two plus me. You all have down syndrome.

[QUOTE=IRG SithLord]He knows what it is. He's just mocking all the idiots that refuse to call it "Wii."[/QUOTE]

But that's just silly. Why would anyone want to call the Revolution "Wii"?

But you suck so you don't count.

You don't have to return it at all. You just fill out the form and Nintendo sends you new ones.

(New straps, not remotes.)

just a reminder that the people in the UK, eruope and australia dont need to do this as they already have a stronger writst strap.

EH, WRONG. All straps have been recalled. Every one issued so far.


You're going by the wrong impression--at first I was skeptical of the Wii, but then decided that it had a lot of promise. There's been bad news about it in the past I've posted, but I've also posted good news. There's no fanboyism here, I was just trying to get more attention so the program would be more effective--even if you don't need it, some people do. Realize that.

You don't have to return the remote, just apply for a new strap. It's free, easy, and rather pointless NOT to do

Eh, no. Read more into it again. It's for the US/Canada only.

[QUOTE=Cool Matty]Eh, no. Read more into it again. It's for the US/Canada only.[/QUOTE]
From the article itself:

"Whereas the AC adapter recall is said to be limited to Japan, the Wiimote strap replacement program is most definitely worldwide affecting "all Wiis sold" to date and most of the units still on shelves"

[QUOTE=Michael MacFarlane]But that's just silly. Why would anyone want to call the Revolution "Wii"? :v:[/QUOTE]
To everyone else arguing about the name: **** you all. Wiivolution ftw.

And this wasn't meant to bash MacFarlane, this was to everyone. His post just happened to be conveniently located within clicking and not-scrolling distance of my mouse cursor. And I'm too lazy to quote every one of you.

And people wonder why we have :downs: and

Have fun outside for the next 24 hours. Hope there's snow to shovel or something.
