Nintendo decided to recall all of the hand straps delivered with their Wii console because of user complaints that the strap simply isn't strong enough.



I hope this news doesn't spur as much controversy as the Sony battery recall, because it simply isn't worth it. Nintendo weighed the options they have, and they decided that the best thing to do is to recall the straps and replace them with better ones. Good move.

According to Nintendo, the recall will not cause a big financial loss for them.
