Pink wii nunchuck - Image 1 


Some members of the Wii community have reported on the official Wii forums that their Nunchuck controllers have been turning pink for no reason. According to the owners of the controllers, the changing color was not due to any outside factors such as spilling juice on the units but just regular play.

Various theories regarding this have been reported, such as a possible problem with the polycarbonate used in the items. However, most everyone agreed that the owners of the nunchuks should contact Nintendo immediately.

We'd have to agree with the posters that if something like this happens, the owners should contact Nintendo regarding the problem. That said, we'd like to ask our readers if they've encountered this phenomenon in their gaming and what they did about it.

Just because its turning pink does not prove that its a gay system.

It's weird how your "common sense" didn't prevent you from posting something that makes you look like an idiot.
