quote"The Wii remote has so far gone down very well in the US and Japan, but problems tend to arise thanks to the relatively flimsy strap used to fasten it to the player's wrist.
That and the fact that some people are just complete mentalists
And so as Nintendo investigate, others mourn, and for some reason I still end up twirling mine around haphazardly, in much the same way I once broke my SingStar microphones. Oh well"
Have you had any problems with the strap?

Yeh I've been chased by that little nun-chuck a few times. I don't see why so many idiots are putting so much pressure on the wii strap, it's meant to prevent you from dropping the damn thing not from through it into your TV.

No problems whatsoever. Most of the people in those various youtube clips are just idiots and are using way too much force/motion with the Wiimote.

A wireless nunchuck would mean more batteries! X_X

Btw, is it possible for Nintendo to release something that would allow the Wiimotes to be USB charged?
