Your HDTVs, patio doors, and indoor pets may now rest peacefully. Reacting to the problems of Wii remotes flying out of users’ hands, Nintendo is offering a more sturdy strap replacement.

To get the new strap, you can fill out Nintendo’s form if you live in the US or Canada.

If you live in the UK, contact the Nintendo Service Centre at:
Phone: 0870 6060247 (National Rate)
Email: wiiwriststrap@codestorm.co.uk
Address: Wii Wrist Strap, Nintendo Service Centre, CoDEStorm House, Walton Road, Farlington, PO6 1TR
