Free Wii remote jackets from Nintendo

[Lowe]

Have a look on the UK site, fill in the details and you can have up to 4 free remote jackets sent out to you, just in case you're prone to smacking mates around the head whilst playing Tennis etc.

Good find dude. Now I won't feel so guilty when my flatmate gets a rogue Wii controller in the face during a hectic session of Resident Evil!

Good find - although they remove the sleek look of the wiimote

Never mind the looks - free is good.

On a side note does anyone know how discriminatory they are about replacing the wrist straps - on the site it says they will replace them if they were bought in December. I got my wii in February, with the newer straps, but my brother still managed to break one...

If you don't ask, you don't get.

I rekon you'd be ok.

Ordered four, thanks!

[tonkei]

But the order form is useless for those of us who bought the wiimote without a wii, as the form needs the wii's serial number. I guess Nintendo shouldn't need to worry about those of us who use the remote with a PC

This is exactly how I got stuck with a 1st gen strap.

how can you use a wiimote with a pc?

There you go.

My Wii jackets arrived a few weeks ago, they're pretty ugly to be honest, but they certainly do a good job at protecting the wii-mote

[kopite]

I think they look pretty cool

a lt better than the third party ones at least

Saying that I only have on in use. Its a bit anoying having to take the jacket off to put the controller in the charger

I reckon it makes the wiimote better to use when playing virtual console games. The jacket makes it more comfortable to hold when using the d-pad.
