Following news that Nintendo is issuing a "corrective action" to replace defective or underpowered Wiimote straps come details on Nintendo's future plans to better inform consumers.

In the following weeks, Nintendo will continue to spread the gospel about Wii Sports related safety. Here's how they'll do it:

• Send electronic messages to Internet-connected Wii systems to highlight key Wii safety points.
• 
  
• Update the Wii operations manual and the manual for Wii Sports with additional wrist strap cautions and specific game advice.
• 
  
• Update on-screen wrist strap advisories to include additional messaging.

Considered, but not put into plan yet, is the program in which Nintendo of America prez Reggie Fils-Aime comes to your house and personally kicks your ass until you get it through your thick skull—proper Wii safety practices, that is, not his giant Frankenstein boots.

My suggestion? Just launch a Safety Channel already, Nintendo. When someone goes into cardiac arrest during an extended Wario Ware Smooth Moves session, you'll thank me. Michael McWhertor
