Holy shit at the last warning. "Don't put plants in your Wii." Who the hell would ever do that?

What's the deal with the bags?

Also, it's a shame I can't make my Wii luckier with a clover :(

I love that the snowman has a hat on. Nintendo goes the extra mile with its warning labels.

I'm also apparently going to have to stop taking my Wii on picnics with me.

Dont stick shit in the vents, I'd assume. Weird.

I love the "angry snowman" pic and the kid eating the twist-tie.

The Wii isn't "burnable" garbage. So I guess if you were going to throw it away, you'd have to sort it differently/on a different day/in a different bag (I don't really know, I don't live in Japan)

don't cover you Wii with a blanket if it's sick.
do bring it some chicken noodle soup.

and why would they use a clover of all possible things to stick into the vent holes?

and that kid eating the twisty-tie looks like he's retardedly staring at the info-balloon like, "correct, am do eat twisty-tie".

POST IT NOW

And, I TOTALLY did the strangle yourself while playing one, just to see how uncomfortable it would be. It was not very uncomfortable, and I played for a while like that.

That's fricking hilarious. I hope they turn up in the european manual, as well. Would make it actually worth it plowing trough the manual stack the Wii is dreaded for.

Sadly, this is as close as we will ever get of seeing Clover on a next gen console.

Thanks a lot Capcom. :(

Haven't you guys ever read warnings and disclaimers before?

The Wii is an electronic appliance and should be discarded accordingly - not with the burnable trash or the biodegradable trash. Most manuals should contain a similar warning.

The plastic bag picture is a warning that it's not a toy and can pose a choking hazard. You'll see a warning on almost any plastic bags containing electronics.

As for the clover, it's obvious that it's a warning not to stick shit in the vents, be it plants, your penis, or your grandmother.

There's really nothing weird with this. They obviously included pictures rather than text only so that even simpletons can understand. I guess they haven't considered GAF.

In Japan, you have to recycle electronics properly; you can't just put them out with the trash.
