Nintendo email encourages safe Wii-ing


We know half the fun of playing the Wii is getting into it -- letting that backhand fly in Tennis, rolling that ball in Bowling, swinging that sword in Zelda (okay, maybe not that one). But where's the fun in sitting on the couch and flicking your wrists? Heck, if you mimic Nintendo's promotional materials you'll probably end up with a Wii-mote sticking out of your plasma, a horrible case of Wii elbow, all while hiding behind your chair (what's up with that guy?). So, in the interest of re-education, Nintendo has sent along an email encouraging gamers to play safely with some helpful tips and tricks. For example: "[In] Wii Sports bowling, the ball is thrown by simply releasing the B Button on the remote, not by letting go of the remote!" Great tip! Now let's see if this improves my poor bowling score.

[Thanks everyone!]
