After spinal surgery for a none wii induced injury that almost paralysed me I underwent months of physio which while helping rebuild the muscle failed to sort out the nerve damage which left me with a cold numbness in the toes of my right foot. The prognosis was that it might ease over time but was most likely there to stay and after a few months I'd given up on it ever going away. We bought a wii not long after and after adding a balance board I became hooked on Shaun White's snowboarding. After only a few sessions I noticed that I had begun to regain the feeling in my toes and within a couple of months was back to normal. The opposite case for me, the wii sorted me out.

Aside from that, it's been nothing but thumb blisters for video game related injuries. Games like Killer Instinct and Marvel vs Capcom 2 need more than the basic injury warnings.

I was about 10 and my friend wouldn't stop going on and on about how I wasn't sharing the controller. My mom finally yelled at me from the kitchen to let him play. I threw the controller at him, hit in right above the left eye, and got to spend the rest of the afternoon in the ER while my friend had 4 stitches put in. I still feel completely justified in my actions and he still has the scar :) The most notable injury that comes to mind in my history was NES related.
