'Nintendo is recalling more than three million straps for its new Wii console' says the BBC. 'The worldwide recall is expected to cost the company several million dollars' suggests Detroit Free Press. 'Nintendo today made an amazing offer after admitting to a basic design flaw in its revolutionary Wii computer games console' hoots The Daily Mail.
The truth behind the story concerning The Big Wii Strap Scandal isn't quite so sensational: Nintendo is not recalling any of its stock, but will happily change your Wii strap for a more robust replacement if you get in touch with its customer services department (tel: 0870 6060247). Moreover, new Wii console stock heading to retail will be shipped with stronger straps approximately twice as thick as the originals.
There's no doubt that the Wii launch was a popular one – 325,000 units sold across Europe in two days – and the mainstream news coverage it has attracted to date appears to cement Nintendo's positioning of the console as truly a gaming device for the whole family. Hopefully, all of those journos latching on to 'this new videogaming craze' will report on its further progress responsibly.
