If you're one of the lucky people who is picking up a Wii this Friday you should be aware of the important safety announcement issued by Nintendo.

We nearly broke the TV when we played Wii recently, despite having a large space to play in, so if you have a small living room it would be wise to move any ornaments or obstacles out of the way before you load up your first game.

Nintendo are being very astute when it comes to warning people of the safety issues, after all they don't want their phone lines inundated with people wanting compensation for broken bones.
