Forums - Nintendo - SMG is giving me carpal tunnel

Seriously, this game is f***ing up my wrist with all the shaking. I thought my years of chronic masturbation had worked out these sorts of problems but apparently I was wrong. I can play it for about 2 hours before it starts hurting badly enough to stop.

Has anyone else had this problem with this game? I have played plenty of other Wii games but this is the only one that is giving me fits like this.

Anyway, aside from that, I have one thing to say:

Great game, shitty camera. I think I found one of the major weaknesses of the Wii; in its current setup, you're given no camera control, one of the biggest luxuries of dual analogs. SMG's camera is far from broken but I'm really having a hard time with getting used to trying to get the camera to hop around that tree so I don't fall off a cliff blindly.

haha yea i agree the camera can be annoying sometimes, but aside from that it is a great game. I however never had any wrist/arm related problems with any wii game.

Carpel tunnel with the Wiimote? I heard of it because of typing but playing Wii?

If you were truly a chronic masturbater, you wouldn't have carpal tunnel. lawlz

But yeah, I played it for about half an hour, and I already tired of the twirling it to do the spin move.

Funny. I actually thought this thread was going to be about masturbation.

Galaxy is that awesome.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I played it at Gamestop for about 25 minutes and got completely turned off by the fact my hands couldn't rest anywhere.

On a conventional controller you could rest your arms on your knees while in a sitting position, but standing up with a Wii-mote you have to always have your arms pointing out and that can have a negative impact on me.

When I get my Wii I will be using it for my friends and sisters, for multiplayer action only. My sisters can do what they want with it for all I care.

Just for me I like the conventional controller better (X360, PS3).



Maybe you are holding the wiimote too tightly? I dunno... I don't have that problem though. I can get motion sick from it if I play too long... or maybe I am just getting dehydrated... I can't tell.



How wildly are you flailing? Maybe lighter motions will still do the spin move without hurting you.

You do realize you can sit with the wiimote/nunchuk also right?  Infact other than Wii Sports and Guitar Hero* I play all my Wii games sitting down and resting my hands/controllers on my lap.

*I don't understand how people properly rock out sitting down.  Just seems wrong.

 so when you sit down, you can't play the wii??

and, you can't rest your arms on your knees while having the wii mote controller in your hand?

I see, Ignorance is a bliss.
