moycon Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I guess people have been slamming the hell out of Wii-motes and breaking them. Nintendo sent me a message stating that all Wii systems now will include Wii-mote jackets to cushion the blow when you drop your Wii-mote. If you've already purchased a system, you can still get em....for free. http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/jacket/jacketrequest.jsp Can't beat free. Altho, I don't really need, I already have Wii-mote grips on mine, and my living room is carpeted....but still...FREE!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+remowilliams Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm glad to see that Nintendo stands behind even their most retarded customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I got 4 on order...hehe. I've bonked one of my boys in the head already with one of these on accident during some Wii Sports Tennis once, and they are always smacking the remotes into my computer desk so these will come in handy.

+remowilliams Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 My jackets showed up today. The rubber has an interesting pattern to it, feels a bit like a motorcycle grip. The 'business' end of the remote looks like its suffering from some giant fluid filled blister. Overall totally unnecessary though. After morons keep smashing each other with these new 'enchanced' wiimotes and still keep flinging them everywhere, Nintendo will have to send out pillows to everyone to wrap their remotes in.

moycon Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Nintendo will have to send out pillows to everyone to wrap their remotes in. You mean themselves in. Tired of getting bonked like a Kupa? Then send away for your free Nintendo Wii-body armor with patented cushioned brain plate protection and Wii enabled blast processing.

liveinabin Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I'll not be getting any. I feel I'm old enough to take my chances with the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Got my 4 in today...they slip in a lot easier than I suspected they would. I'm not looking forward to slipping these off to change the batteries all the time though. I actually do go through a set of batteries each week with each of my remotes. Hence why rechargables are pretty much required for Wii users. Ahem...however, I do feel sorta "dirty" handling my condomized remote now...

minorleagueguy Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 .........I just ordered these...we have 3 Wii-motes, but, free is free. minorleagueguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Got mine today. Not sure I like the feel of the B button now. Will have to try it with some Metroid to see if I'll be using it regularly. The thicker end by the D-pad might make playing NES games more comfortable and I like the plug for the accessory controller port. I handle all of my stuff with care so they were completely unnecessary for me but hey, they were free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+HatNJ Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Got mine today and I like em so far but got to try them out with a bunch of different types of games to really see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscott27 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I got mine last week. The jacket really messes up the iPod like simplicity of the controller, now it looks like something a woman would take in the shower. That being said i got used to it right away and dont see any problems with it. I have a 5 year old who is a big fan of the bowling game, he's already thrown it behind the TV a couple of times. I also have 2 year olds who are constantly snatching the controllers so its a good thing to have some extra protection. I'm wondering if these might be some sort of strange collectors item in 15 years, to play it safe I tucked the instruction sheet into my console box.

mimo Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Well they can't be fitted when I want to put them in the charger so I guess they will have to go in "the draw" and my kids will have to take their chances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
