wow will first any game on ANY console can give you a seizure, motion sickness? that person must just be really sensitive and stupid bruises and cuts and screen damage=retarded people, old people are probably the only ones who got heart attacks so ya and anything else you can get those from day to day activities or doing a real sport fuk man you guys are serious morons
I guess now you can also put Death on the list too. I agree Nintendo should have some kind of warning label on the box just like cigarettes.
My little cousin almost fell out trying to beat the last person on Wii boxing.Last person u fight id is broken as hell and he got made at the game and threw the remote at the speaker of the TV thank god it didn’t hit the screen. Wii sucks made my cousin throw a temper tamtrum and go ballistic.
ive played every system out there this is the worst in almost every way except for the price of 1 game -.- thats not even fun..

You guys are lame get your ass off this site if you like wii leave stop flaming the owner and go away ya prick
As a guy who found delight in playing rugby and football (any form of kill the guy with the ball) I’m not very sympathetic to injury arguments.
These sort of things are bound to happen when emaciated game nerds try to do anything remotely resembling physical activity. I don’t know if that is a strike against the system so much as a sad commentary of the state of the gaming demographic.
The Causes of the risks you list
Bruises- Being hit with the Wii remote
Cuts- Sharp objects.
Eye Strain- Using it too much
Fractures- ”
Heart Attack-”
Knee Injuries-”
Motion Sickness-”
Rotator Cuff Injuries-”
Screen Damage-”
Seizures- Epilepsy
Sprains- Being hit
Stroke- Serious medical condition
So buy if you want, but USE IN MODERATION!!!!
WII Injuries how f..ing ridicilous is that. why are you stupid and flame a console for that. you know, there are dumb asses out there who hurt themselves using screwdrivers or operating a washing machine…hence it doesnt surprise me that retarded idiots get hurt using a gaming console that might require a superior intelligence and physical ability/hand eye coordination than a conventional console that only requires pushing some buttons. From what I’ve gathered reading this website ur probably fall in that category.
The Causes of the risks you list
Bruises- Being hit with the Wii remote
Cuts- Sharp objects.
Eye Strain- Using it too much
Fractures- Triped over something
Heart Attack- heart conditions diabetics etc
Knee Injuries- when you play something Like football
Motion Sickness- If you have mental illniss
Rotator Cuff Injuries- A big Accedent
Screen Damage-”
Seizures- Epilepsy

LOOK THESE STUFF DOES NOT EVEN GOT TO DO WITH A WII UNLESS IF YOU ARE SICK YOUR SELF BUT TO BE HONEST THESE ARE THE STUFF MIGHT HAPPEN IF YOU DONT READ THE WII INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
Bruises- Being hit with the Wii remote
IF YOU RUN THROUGH WHILE SOMEONE IS PLAYING THE GAME and it already it tells you uhh
You are all a bunch of fanboys. Just play the damn games and stop fussing over which system is superior, just play the games. People have opinions, you know, and you should respect others opinions, you might not like the 360, but don’t go on every 360 site and say “XBOX 360 SAWKZ” or “PS3 SUCKS BECAUSE…” or even this site “WII SUCKS BECAUSE IT DOESN’T HAVE GOOD GAMES!”
That your opinion that it doesn’t have good games, other people might think otherwise, just stop fussing about the systems and play your damn games, or go outside. Can we just all be friends here? 
i would like to say this one thing, all you people who are injured playing video games i have the answer as to why. It is because you fucking idiots make it your life and nothing else is done because you are all lazy and sit on your couch instead of doing something productive in life, games are awesome but if you play more than 5 hours a week, or even 3 hours a week you have way to much time on your hands, maybe you could try to pay some attention to the people around you and do something recreational. doubt it would happen though, oh well you are missing out. you see i have come to the verdict of saying games=drugs, meaning they are drugs, and i call this drug vids, vulnerable idiots dreading sanity
This week I will see an orthopedic surgeon after an MRI shows that I have a torn rotator cuff. I tore it on the bowling game trying to knock down multiple numbers of pins from ten to 92. I want to warn peopl not to try to put more speed on the bal as you will do the same damage.
