A:The Wii video game system is often credited with getting people up off the couch. But, as with any new activity, people playing the Wii system should pace themselves and not overdo it. Nintendo is committed to the safety of its consumers, and advises the following tips for safe play:

• Always wear the wrist strap while playing
• Keep a firm grip on the Wii Remote controller at all times
• Make sure people and objects are out of the range of movement before play begins
• Remember that the Wii Remote is responsive enough to detect minor movements - so excessive and forceful actions are not necessary
• The motions made are similar to real-life sports games, but the force is not
• As with any new physical activity, it's best to start slowly. Some games, such as Wii Sports, include in-game reminders to take occasional breaks
• As always, please make sure to read all manuals and instructions for use that accompany the Wii console and games for the Wii system
