De-gunkify your Wii lens with an official lens cleaner

Maybe not the most interesting headline in video game news history, but news nonetheless. Nintendo has plans to release a first party lens cleaner some time this month. For the low, low price of 800 yen (or just under $8), Wii owners can spiff up their filthy, grimey Wiis to avoid problems like the one that broke a lot of hearts earlier this year.

    Running that page through Google Translator says this:

    “‘Wii exclusive set of lens cleaner’, Wii console inside the disk to read the lens cleaner to remove the stain.

    Wii console inside the lens, the tobacco tar and dirt and dust will adhere properly to be rendered unreadable disk errors, or at the movies will not play smoothly, and enjoy the game may be ITADAKENAKU .

    If these symptoms is, ‘Wii exclusive set of lens cleaner’ and cleaning your lenses, but if the symptoms do not improve, ‘Repair Guide’ for your reference to ‘online service reception’ from the repair Please apply to.”

    “Movies”?

    Yay! The rabid collector in me wants to put this next to my official NES, Game Boy, SNES and N64 cleaners! Alas, my GameCube and my DS must remain unclean.
