Nintendo To Replace Wiimote Wrist Straps

Posted by Zonk on Friday December 15, 2006 @01:54AM from the avoiding-flying-wiimotes-seems-like-a-good-thing dept.

Kotaku has word that, after much giggling and photo-taking, Nintendo is replacing all of the Wiimote straps shipped with the original release of the console. There is a strap replacement form available, to get new straps sent to you. From the article: "Once your replacement wrist strap has shipped, you will receive a confirmation email from Nintendo. We expect to begin shipping replacement straps around December 21st. It will take 5 to 9 days for delivery depending on your location. Please do not contact Nintendo regarding your replacement wrist strap until after that time period has passed. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your interest in our products." Update: 12/15 17:07 GMT by Z : I used the right term here in the text, but Edge Online notes that recall is not the right term to use here. Title corrected.

Actions like this deserve loyalty and honest purchases.

And, much like your previous posts, you will be there to remind us that Nintendo has your undying loyalty.
