people swing the thing like is war them a go and them a swing battle hammer and war axe.

There is a simple fix, this guy just used a bit of fishing line and two type of knots and problem solve.

Wii must be proactive. Wii owners in Jamaica cant send back Wii units so easily. so Wii need to find alternate means to fix stuff Wii selves.
