Smells like lawyers:

Apparently the nefarious straps were engineering the whole thing, since GW LLP claims "Owners of the Nintendo Wii reported that when they used the Nintendo remote and wrist strap, as instructed by the material that accompanied the Wii console, the wrist strap broke and caused the remote to leave the user's hand." Given the fact that the basic premise of these claims is a tad bit off (we're fairly certain those straps have been breaking after the Wiimote leaves the hand) and that Green Welling's main demand from Nintendo is that they replace the straps ( done and done ), we can't see this lawsuit getting too terribly far, but we suppose we'll have to wait and find out.

Where there's an ambulance, a greedy little moron with a law degree can't be too far behind...
