whats up everyone ?

just read this on CNN and wanted to share it with the Nintendo gurus

many people probably had this as a kid...lol

in 1990, a Wisconsin doctor characterized the thumb soreness brought on by pushing the buttons on a controller as "Nintendinitis" after it affected a 35-year-old woman who played a Nintendo game without interruption for five hours.

since its been established by a medical professional that injury can occur from your Nintnedo...lol
now you can claim injurys on your health insurance caused by
too much game play, coined as "Nintendinitis" ....LOL

its funny to read that this was published by a medical doctor in a journal of medicine

you can read this at cnn.com

what do you guys think ?

had sore thumbs plenty of times

Wiiites--the inflamation of ones Wii? o_O

Everytime I play Wii Sports my arm is sore the next day, so yes I have had it. I only get Nintenditis when I play DS. The buttons are so close it makes my hands and thumbs hurt super bad, especially on Mario Kart.
~~NGD

I remember it being called Nintendo thumb, back in the 80's when I was a kid.

I had "Nintendo Neck" when I was 5 or 6 years old...

I have Wiiitis right now from playing Wii boxing too much, lol.

Yeah, the boxing actually gives you a bit of a workout, especially the punching bag
