Okay, Heres the deal my brother and I were born premature  and have always loved video games and Nintendo. Our first video game system was the SNES and we've owned every Nintendo system there was. Gameboy, SNES, NES, GC, N64, but as time went on.... I got into differnt types of video games and Drew he just well stayed the same he doesnt get out much and still likes cartoons like a little kid would. and wants to play a wii because of Nickeloden and Mario games. Is there nothing I can do ?because he can't hold the Nunchuck in his hand and play and video games are like one of his only passions. If nintendo made a controller for me they'd have to make it for everyone else and soo they probably wont help me, so what about a 3rd party developer? you guys got any suggestions? nowadays there should be like a custom shop for people with disabilties not just so we can LIVE our lives but ENJOY  them too! theres gotta be something i can do for him!

That is something I might work on with patients as an Occupational Therapist. I would want to help them regain or try to use movement in their body. I am studying to become an OT and the Wii would be an interesting way to help patients move their body and regain mobility.

If he can hold a normal controller, he should be able to hold the nunchuck...

But he can still use his fingers?

...Well, I guess he can't play the Wii then. Can't he just buy another system?

Not that the Wii isn't rather enjoyable, you aren't missing out on much.

It is a bit gimmicky, and with the current selection of games, it's a little dissapointing imo.

he cant use his fingers the nunchuck ids the probelm he cant push the buttoons on the nunchuck he might be able to hold the nunchuck but pushing the buttons he cant. i would just give up but the Wii has the games he wants to play.
