Wiimote hurts my hand...can i sue?

[jalsonmi]

Just like you can't sue computer manufacturers for carpel tunnel, you can't sue Nintendo for it (at least not win). And you're much more likely to get carpel tunnel from using a mouse and keyboard than from the Wiimote. Carpel tunnel in most case come from the stress induced on the wrist due to repetitive flexing and extending of the muscles connected to it--i.e. the fingers--while the wrist itself is held in spasm. It's a fairly serious condition for which you have to wear a brace for weeks to months. Waggling with the Wiimote puts stress on different muscles and actually activates the muscles in the wrist, rather than keeping it in spasm. You may get sore from using the remote, as you can from any physical activity, but it's highly unlikely it will lead to carpel tunnel. If anything, a standard controller, with physical action much closer to that of typing, is much more likely to give you carpel tunnel.

Irregardless of whose fault the hand soreness is (and any reputable doctor would say anyone at risk for certain problems should avoid the things that might exacerbate the problems), you certainly would not win in a lawsuit against Nintendo. All of the warnings and disclaimers both in the manual and before you play ANY game are there to prevent excessive and frivolous litigation. Which legally is what your lawsuit would fall under.
