Control Issues with Wiimote Production?
It’s been heard across the GoNintendo grapevine that there could possibly be a bit of a stall up with the production of the Wiimote. [insert collective sigh here]. While Nintendo itself hasn’t given a statement on this yet, the rumor mills are going hay-wire with much talk and assumptions. Now, now. We’re not to raise an alarm here (just yet), and we’re going to be chucking this up only as a rumor until further official statements from Nintendo.
The story goes that a Chinese journalist from PCgames.com stumbled upon some snags along the production line in the Wiimote factory. Apparently, the controller has encountered a stumble block in the testing phase and feedback goes:
“currently the Wiimote and nunchuck still have a lot of small issues, such as buttons arenÂ’t sensitive, hard to press 2 buttons together, and even no response occasionally, and the current sample is easy to get damaged, using the controller in normal situation will produce some noise, etc…”
The quote above was taken from a GoNintendo reader’s translation of the original Chinese article from PCgames.com. So, if it sounds a bit iffy to you (is it really a rumor?), you could take a shot at cracking this mystery. OR you can just wait ’til we give you an update on what Nintendo has to say about this.
