Which is why the lanyard was clearly intended for the old and feeble or weak and greasy.

Yeah but was the remote ever in danger of coming out of your hand?
No, not even after a half-dozen beers while playing WiiSports Boxing. You'd have to have been eating a whole lot of greasy chips or something with your WiiMote hand. |

I must admit I haven't been perfect in clearing a proper 3 foot area around me and have smacked chairs or bookcases with my Wiimote and hand. There has never been a point however when I thought it might slip out of my hand, no matter how hard I was swinging it.

It does convey some interesting points about what they determined about people during the Q&A phase.
1) No, we can't trust people to understand what the safety strap is for.
2) No, we cant' trust people to understand that throwing the remote is not part of the game.
3) No, we can't trust people to understand that the remote won't pass intangibly through objects and people while they're distracted with what's going on in the game.
4) Yes, we realize the safety strap is insufficient for the job to resist the weight of the remote when people string it hard enough.
5) Yes, we've decided we'd better act as if safety was our primary concern so people don't have good grounds to sue us over the inevitable damage they'll cause once we release this beast to the public.

Fake site. Nobody is going to whack their kid (cousin, whatever) with a Wiimote, then post said picture on a site dedicated to such things as though there were a popup on the Wii to remind them of such things. Such things will probably occur though. Accidents happen. |

I have to say, though, that despite the crumminess of the wii-speaker, this is the best force-feedback ever in a controller.
The Dual Shock and the Xbox 360 apparently just had little matchbox car/dildo motors in them that shook the controller, but they've got something more sophisticated in the wiimote. It's much less obtrusive and much more effective. I noticed that the horseback riding in zelda was unexpectedly cool for some reason, and it was only then that I realized that the controller was giving very slight force feedback every time the horse's hoofs hit the ground.
