Humor: Always wear your Wii remote wrist strap!

Two Words: Wii Sports

Wii Sports is a wonderful game. For the price of one game disc, you get all of the exercise and comedy you can handle as you and your friends attempt to bowl a strike, hit a home run, or knock out the computer player. You and your friends can even compare scores after you take the Fitness Test.

All of that wonderful simulated athletic activity takes its toll, though. Your heart rate gets up, your blood flow increases, and before you know it, your palms are sweaty. This would be a good time to make sure that Wiimote wrist strap is on good and tight. If you don't use the strap, your Wiimote might fly like an eagle...right into the television screen. Not only will that mean that you've lost the game, but it's entirely possible that your fellow Wii players will make you even more sorry that you lost control of your Wiimote.

The most dangerous Wii Sports game to play without your Wiimote wrist strap in place is Wii Boxing. All of that punching and dodging makes it easy to work up a sweat, making the Wiimote sweaty. Add to the risk the fact that your hands are sweaty while you're floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee without your wrist strap in place, and it's only going to be a matter of minutes before your Wiimote is speeding like a baseball and stinging like a fist.

Wii Sports and other Wii games are a fun way to stay active. If you remember to keep your Wiimote strap on tight and take breaks when you get sore or tired, your Wii is sure to remain fun for everyone!
