Wiimote Controller Recall - FALSE.

[R.O.S.S.I]

Nintendo has denied BBC reports of a Wii wrist strap recall. While Nintendo refuted claims that 3 million straps had been recalled it will be providing replacement wrist straps free of charge for anyone who has broken theirs.

Nintendo released a statement this morning, saying: "This is not a recall - it's a voluntary exchange programme. There is no problem with the wrist strap as long as the Wii Remote is used sensibly and properly in accordance with the guidelines provided by Nintendo. However, we will be providing replacement wrist straps free of charge to consumers who request them."

"Consumers who break their wrist straps and consumers who are worried about their wrist strap should contact their nearest Nintendo Service Centre on 0870 6060247."

You've gotta love the media for blowing stuff out of proportion , that makes loads more sense than what is being banded about on the news!

At least it's getting the console in the publics eye!

Yeh i didnt think there would be a recall for all the controllers. I'm going to ring them up anyway and get another strap as the one i got with my controller with Wii Play isnt as good as the one i got with the console.
