FACT SHEET: Proper Wii Remote Usage

[Detomah]

Nintendo is continuing a dialogue with its customers about the proper and safe use of the motion-sensitive Wii Remote controller when playing Wii Sports.

The following tips are advised for safe play:

• Always wear the wrist strap while playing.
• Keep a firm grip on the Wii Remote at all times.
• Make sure people and objects are out of the range of movement before play begins.

Other things to keep in mind include:

• Players should keep at least three feet from their televisions and should dry their hands if they become moist.
• Remember that the Wii Remote is responsive enough to detect minor movements – so excessive and forceful actions are not necessary.
• The motions made are similar to real-life sports games, but the force is not.

These tips complement efforts already underway:

• Nintendo has been replacing broken wrist straps for consumers who request them.
• Nintendo operates a toll-free number and a Web site for customers to request replacement wrist straps. Consumers can call 1-800-859-4519 or visit support.nintendo.com to get a replacement wrist strap.
• All new Wii hardware shipments include new wrist straps and a safety sheet.
• Links about Wii safety are available on various Nintendo
• Web sites, including multiple links on Nintendo.com, Wii.Nintendo.com and the Nintendo World store Web site.
• Nintendo sent an e-mail message to members of the MyNintendo customer-loyalty program about Wii Remote safety. A similar message will be sent each week to consumers who register their new Wii systems at MyNintendo.com.
• Games include on-screen advisories about proper wrist strap use.
• Nintendo includes an insert about Wii safety with all correspondence dealing with Wii product repairs and replacements.

In the coming weeks, Nintendo will:

• Send electronic messages to Internet-connected Wii systems to highlight key Wii safety points.
• Update the Wii operations manual and the manual for Wii
• Sports with additional wrist strap cautions and specific game advice.
• Update on-screen wrist strap advisories to include additional messaging.
