Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wow, even cockroaches like wii

So far this is just a theory, but it's something that's beginning to come under investigation. Apparently, Japanese entertainment magazine BARKS has alleged that a powered-on Wii emits a sound frequency which falls right into the range to which cockroaches are attracted. This could lend itself to a few uninvited roommates for gamers who are too busy waggling their remotes to invest some time in a little basic housekeeping.  

I wouldn't run to the store and drop a week's pay on insecticide just yet, and please keep in mind that this is just a theory, and one that is likely to be debunked eventually. Although, if you find yourself trying out that new Wii Fit Board and hear some crunching under it as you lean one way or the other, don't say I didn't warn you.

 Well, they are notoriousy hard to kill.

So the Wii is for grandparents, soccer moms, little kids and cockroaches, they really want to expand the market.

Don't all electronics attract roaches due to heat generated? Edit: You'd actually have to have them first and in that case the 360 or PS3 generate a lot more heat and would probably attract them as well, as would routers, tvs, phones, dvd players etc.

Cockroaches in your Wii pale in comparison to rats in your PC.



Hmm... I can Wiiroachhotel coming soon... just so many uses....



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

That means... that the Wii will be the last console in existence... after the nuclear holocaust happens the roaches will evolve and then make that console again...

Damn cockroaches



Understanding is the key.

 

Maybe pest-control companies will buy Wiis to help capture cockroaches.

 Yeah, so this thread was really to start a flame war or not ShastaMasta, but the source.
