Nintendo takes straps seriously

Legendary Nintendo producer Shigeru Miyamoto also commented on the problem, saying: “We are encouraging people to understand that you really don’t have to be so excited, but rather you need to understand the control and then you’re going to be the best player. We are looking into the situation to see if there are additional methods to encourage people to kind of calm down so they would never throw away the controller itself.”

Well said. Don’t throw your controllers, there’s little point. You can easily sit down and play all these games, it’s just more fun to stand up and play them. I am still surprised how many people have damaged tvs/furnature/people over something that seems so common sense. I am not a very smart guy, so I know I can’t be alone in this thinking.
