Nintendo's new video game console, the Wii, features a motion-sensitive handheld device, called the "Wiimote," which players move around to simulate bowling, golf and other video games. But there's a problem: Players sometimes lose control of the device, turning it into a TV-breaking, window-shattering projectile. Nintendo says it's investigating a problem with a faulty wrist strap.

Gordon Jackson, a blogger from Cambridge, England, is collecting reports of damage and injury on his site, WiiDamage.com.

Also today, St. Paul Pioneer Press tech columnist Julio Ojeda-Zapata has a review of the Wii.
