It has been reported that Nintendo will “voluntarily exchange” an estimated 3.2 million straps for the Wii game console. This is after a barrage of complains from gamers complaining on how easily it snaps off the game console remote (dumbed the Wiimote). Reports have been of damaged televisions, windows and even minor injuries.

Nintendo has also announced a recall on about 200,000 adapters for its DS and DS Lite handheld game machines in Japan due to current overheating that may cause burns.

There have been several innovative unofficial solutions to fix the faulty Wii control straps but Karunga from Infinitipower tops the lot. It may very well be an ingenious (yet cheap) solution.
