Nintendo respond to Wii strap breakages
Games firm Nintendo has said it will replace all broken straps for it's Wii console, following customer complaints.
The strap is connected to a motion sensitive remote which is used to control the on-screen action.
The announcement follows reports about the wrist straps breaking during use, leading to the controller slipping out of hands, smashing TVs and windows.
Nintendo said the straps do not present a problem if used correctly, but will still replace all broken ones for free.
The problem with the straps, originally reported as a major recall, affects all Nintendo Wiis sold worldwide and almost all units currently on shelves in shops. Nintendo has targeted sales of four million Wii consoles by the end of 2006.
No information was immediately available about how customers can return their Wii straps, but Nintendo said it would free of charge
