By that logic, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas shoudl fascinate you even more, since it takes MUCH longer than 45 minutes to walk the whole length of the island.
In recent Wii news, reports of broken wrist straps are starting to come out, accompanying stories of broken TVs and damaged walls. Could it be that Nintendo's demonstrations in commercials of people wildly swinging their arms combined with the natural sweaty-slickness of the controller lead to lawsuits? Nintendo had better look at their stuff again. It shouldn't be the apparently "inexperienced" Wii gamer's responsibility to ensure that their walls, TVs, Ming vases, and other precious articles are safe from flying hardware. You SHOULD be able to just sit with the controller in your lap and play the game in a near catatonic state like we've been doing for over 20 years.
There are rumors of Nintendo releasing some kind of grip gloves or rubber fitting for over the controller to increase grip. Good idea...or they could've just gotten in right on the first try and not used a material that doesn't make your hands sweat like crazy.
Here's a video documenting such a breakage, as well as an up close look at the tenuous bindings that keep the controller attached to the strap.
