The Wii is all fun and games until someone really gets hurt by a flying Wiimote and decides to sue the pants off Super Mario and his brethren at Nintendo. So, to avoid that, Nintendo has voluntarily recalled more than 3 million Wiimote straps, which are being blamed for the game controllers coming loose during game play and flying off players’ wrists. Nintendo reports the new straps will be twice as thick.
