Have you ever dropped your Wii ...? - Wii, WiiWare & Virtual Console Forum

Rare · 2010-01-19T03:19:43+00:00

During a lengthy Timesplitters 2 session this evening, I made the schoolboy error of getting up from the couch to answer the telephone (leaving the Gamecube controller on the arm rest, and the wire stretched across the room to the Wii, positioned some 4 feet up in a shelving unit). ...Now, just as I answer the phone, my dog comes bounding through from the next room to investigate, gets his paws tangled in the controller wire, keeps going, and yanks the Wii clean off the shelving unit and crashing onto the parquet floor - the horror! The phone conversation is swift to say the least, and the dog, having ascertained it isn't Mum calling, hops out of the tangled mess and nonchalantly pads back into the other room and the comfort of his bed (nice work if you can get it) :). Fearing the worst, I stoop to inspect the damage. The Wii has been yanked from both the power and sensor bar leads and clean off its vertical stand (which, somehow, remains on the shelving unit???). The Gamecube controller is still attached, and, amazingly, the controller port flap (which I imagined would almost certainly be snapped or cracked) has escaped unscathed ...Surely there must be some cosmetic damage? Careful scrutiny of every inch of the Wii's casing, however, reveals not a single scratch or ding! ...And, best of all, I reposition the Wii in its stand, reconnect the wires, and it powers right up! ...What a trooper!! :) So, have you ever dropped your Wii? ...Share your tales of woe/joy below...

Well, if they're leaving their controllers strewn about, then they deserve to have their Wiis come crashing to the ground...
