DAMN! I thought we could a jacket made out of Wiimotes.

That thing is ugly! I would rather have a broken vase, than to be swinging something that unsightly around. Nintendo has now officially covered all their bases in terms of lawsuits over broken TVs and ornaments. It seems that "casual" players are more hardcore than the "hardcore" if these are the types of measures that Nintendo is taking.

Yea, I got this announcement on my Wii. But I'll have to get it from Nintendo, I've been a Wii owner since December.

Wii Freak said:

I ordered the jackets just now.

I thought you would wear something.

Elebot said:

Once again, people should just learn to hold onto their remotes. If you drop it, it's your own fault.

I already have cool looking silicon cases for all my 'motes.

GiGANTOR said:

Ok Nintendo has gone too far. If you're wearing a wrist strap and it still flies out of your hand, there is something wrong with you. I mean come on it looks so weird. I don't even wear the wrist strap and it's never gone out of my hand.

jr said:

That's a stupid looking thing. No way am I going to order that.

insultman911 said:

Yay?

Stinky12694 said:

Gonzo, I beat you, Wii owner since november (I got it the second time it came in stock in my town's best buy).

WiiNinja said:

Can't wait, it's free.

Yoshi-1up said:

Yeah, I ordered some too. But, I probably won't use it. I just want it because it's free. The Wii-strap is very sturdy and I play in an open area. I guess it's good for children though.

Darth Judicar said:

Doesn't this seem unnecessary? With the thicker straps and new fastener, the chances of the wiimote flying into anyone's tv have been greatly diminished. Unless they are dumb enough to let go of the wiimote. It doesn't look too aesthetically pleasing anyways.

Number 1) Hold on to the remote. Number 2) This thing looks like it was licensed by Fisher-Price.

Just goes to show you that anything is possible with a lot of complaining (and, possibly, a few lawsuit threats).

Scooby Jew said:

Yeah, that does look pretty horrible. I think I can live without.

Kamehameha X said:

Am I the only one who thinks that it is REALLY cool of The Big N to fix something that will only break if you can't figure out how to keep the stupid thing in your hand amidst your vehement and overpowered swings? I just hopped on the site and ordered 4 replacement wrist straps, AND the wiimote covers! Viva Free-Stuff.

wiiman said:

It won't let me order them.

Nintendoof said:

Need it.

YoshLee said:

I got a message on my Wii right about this right after I saw this. Nintendo sure rocks at keeping you up with the news.
