I called Nintendo, they said DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY BETWEEN A CONTROLER IN USE AND THE CONSOLE, NOR SHOULD YOU HAVE A CONTROLER POINTED AT YOU WITHIN 2 FEET.

I put it in caps on purpose. The man I spoke to said that right now they don't have proof of interferance but he thought it was not wise to take chances.

Best of luck, WII love you..

I have the wonderful Wii and love it. I did however, have a little problem with it at first. I felt a little short of breath and found my heart was pounding. But...after some research we found that the little black sensor bar that goes on top or at the bottom of the TV is not necessary so we took it away. We actually tucked it into a drawer in another room. The Wii works just fine and I now have no adverse reactions to the Wii whatsoever.

So I'd say if you find you have a problem get that little thing out of there and give that a try.

Hope you have a Wii good time.

Wii = No Problem

PM impanted November 13th. Received Wii as Christmas gift. I play the tennis and bowling very aggressively at least once a week ever since. I have never had an issue and the black sensor bar is on top of my TV.

Good question. I've been playing for awhile and never even thought about this. Haven't had any problems. Maybe this is a question that your pacemaker manufacturer cna investigate. The WII is great indoor exercise and fun with friends. I stay away from the monitor on the TV.

I finished 29th in London in 2 hours 20 minutes 30 seconds which is my fastest with or without a device so clearly it didn’t slow me down ! I had no problems apart from some slight chaffing on my scar - more Vaseline next time.
