I just got the game Samba De Amigo on Friday and have been playing it for a good while. I've been playing Hard Career mode and was shaking the Wii and nunchuk when I started to get a wierd sore sensation in my left arm. I guess it was from shaking my nunchuk like a maracca too much. I then thought up the term Samba Elbow, which stands for playing Samba De Amigo too long and one or both of your arms feels sore on the inside. That brings me to a discussion idea. Has anyone here played a game for too long or had an accident while playing a game? This can include your limbs or fingers feeling sore, something fell down, you fell down, a controller flying out of your hands and of course having your memory card erase your file by way of you being stupid or someone else was. Discuss.

Okami for Wii, demon gate trials. I use glaives which basically involve snapping the wiimote up and down, combine that with non-stop waves of high health enemies, and it makes your wrists sore as hell.

I've chained battles on The World Ends With You until my hands were numb on several occasions. xd I go nuts and grip my stylus way too tight.

I was trying to beat Bigocto for probably an hour straight; my thumbs were quite sore from going around in all those circles... @_@
I got some Guitar Elbow... And maybe Guitar Fingers. But it was in the time when I was new to GH.

I've hit plenty of people playing Wii sports tennis, inculding myself. xd
Also, snaking on Mario Kart DS really takes it's toll on your index fingers and thumb.

Back in the day I would always tear up the skin on my left thumb from pressing down on the GBA directional pad.

I played Star Wars the Force Unleashed non stop for an hour or two with CFS. Let's just say that was a bad idea. ">_> Same with Mario and Sonic.

I have one to add to this actually. Once, while I was playing No More Heroes, I was about to finish off an enemy when I let go of the controller and it would have flown off somewhere had it not been for the connected nunchuk that I was still holding in my left hand. Three seconds later, I got back my controller and continued with the game.
Add Bleach Shattered Blade to that list. All you do for attacking is shake your remote horizontally, vertically, and in a stabbing motion. Strong attacks you hold A and swing, special hold B and swing, bankai swing nunchuku. So you can bet your A$$ that your arms are going to feel dead in a couple of hours.
