The much debated Wii wrist straps have spawned another shadow on Nintendo. A US law firm, Green Welling LLP, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington on behalf of Wii owners against Nintendo of America.
The class action lawsuit seeks justice for Wii owners who have broken their wrist straps while using the "Wiimote" as instructed, and tries to discontinue Nintedo's "unfair or deceptive business practices" and make them "provide a refund to the purchaser or to replace the defective Wii remote."
Nintendo has already promised to replace all broken wrist straps and provide new enhanced and less vulnerable straps to customers. The Japanese company is not concerned about the lawsuit and believes it won't go anywhere.
