The release of the Nintendo Wii in 2006 changed the face of video gaming by introducing unparalleled group and family entertainment through the use of motion sensor technology. No matter what your favorite games are, spending time on the Wii with a group of friends is a fantastic way to enjoy yourself at your One 51 Place apartment. So whether you love Wii Sports baseball, fighting off ninjas as a samurai, or competing in virtual archery tournaments, you’re probably no stranger to having a great time on the Wii. However, because most Wii games and apps require a great deal of arm motion, there are a few things you should keep in mind to prevent bumping into any bystanders and your surroundings.

Here are a few things to remember to help you have a fun and enjoyable Wii-playing experience:

• First, try to keep the volume, shouting, stomping, etc. to a minimum so that your neighbors are not disturbed by excess noise.
• Wrap the strap of the Wiimote tightly around your wrist every time you play. This will prevent the remote from accidentally shooting out of your hand and landing on someone or something around you.
• Always keep plenty of space between yourself and other fellow gamers.
• If they haven’t already, caution your friends and family to step back from you or anyone else who is currently playing.
• Move any delicate valuables out of harm’s way before you begin.
• You can purchase a soft case that will surround your Wiimote to prevent damage should it come loose.
• Finally, create a small “playing zone,” ensuring that you have adequate space in front of your television to accommodate a few players who can move and flail around as much as they like without hitting anything or anyone.
