在痛下决心回收 二十万个DS和DSLite的整流器后，任天堂一不做二不休，接着宣布将会回收三百二十万个Wiimote的腕带。整流器的回收范围因为只限日本所以还算小事，Wiimote可是要接近全球性的回收啊！任天堂要将到目前为止所有已经卖出去的，甚至还放在架上的通通都进行更换。所以，只要你手上有一只Wiimote，那么它的腕带已经被列在回收名单上了。
尽管这些Wiimote伤害案是否全部为真仍有待商榷，但很明显它的问题已经足以让任天堂挨上一记集体诉讼了。很高兴任天堂能够爱惜得来不易的羽毛，对于问题进行快速的反应，这是不是从SONY在rootkit上的惨剧所学到的教训呢？至于要如何回收呢？虽然任天堂还没有正式公布方法，但我们的Stefan朋友已经在任天堂的网站挖到了申请表格。好消息是，任天堂应该不会要我们把那条应该已经被玩脏或断的腕带寄回去，而是会直接寄给我们一条新的，理论上不会再断掉的腕带。希望以后不会再有任何电视、电脑、PDA…惨糟毒手啰！

 Well, how 'bout that... on top of the 200k DS and DS Lite AC adapters being recalled replaced this morning, Nintendo just announced an additional voluntary recalled replacement of 3.2 million straps for their Wii Remote Control. Whereas the AC adapter recall is said to be limited to Japan, the Wiimote strap replacement program is most definitely worldwide affecting "all Wiis sold" to date and most of the units still on shelves. So yeah, your strap is on the list for recall if you own a Wii. Whether the broken strap claims were bogus or not is now moot, the perception certainly exists that there's a problem with California class-actions sure to follow. So kudos to Nintendo for acting relatively quickly to address the issue before it snowballed into another Sony "rootkit" fiasco. No information on how to return your strap for the new beefier version, but you'll know as soon as we do.
Update: Thanks to tipster Stefan for digging into Nintendo's bowels and unearthing the replacement request form. Good news, looks like they'll simply ship the new strap without the mess of having to return the old one.
Update 2: Nintendo just called to let us know that the replacement program is entirely voluntary, and does not constitute a "recall". That means Nintendo apparently doesn't think it's a risk for most people, but if you do you can feel free to get that Wiimote strap. Nintendo issued this statement: "Nintendo has a long tradition of delivering high-quality products and excellent customer service. The Wii Remote is meant to be gripped, and the wrist straps are a secondary measure. We have found that some consumers get more excited playing Wii Sports than we could have imagined. This resulted in a very small number of wrist straps breaking. We have replaced the broken wrist straps and continue to reinforce with consumers the safe and fun use of our products. Through its voluntary wrist strap replacement program Nintendo is offering a stronger wrist strap free of charge to consumers by calling 1-800-859-4519 or by visiting support.nintendo.com."
Update 3: Here's the info Nintendo gives when you order your replacements: "Thank you for your request. Once your replacement wrist strap order has shipped, you will receive a confirmation email from Nintendo. We expect to begin shipping replacement straps around December 21st. It will take 5 to 9 days for delivery depending on your location. Please do not contact Nintendo regarding your replacement wrist strap until after that time period has passed."
[Thanks, Matthew P.]
