- syl1985, on 10/10/2007, -1/+52"Current Wii owners can get their free Remote Jacket by either hitting up Wii.com, Nintendo.com or calling 866-431-8367. The company plans to start taking orders on Oct. 2 and shipping the product out on Oct. 15."
That's awesome - good on 'em for providing the jackets retroactively... - TheInimitable, on 10/12/2007, -1/+48I have no use for these.
BUT THEY'RE FREE - JonTheGoose, on 11/03/2007, -0/+37Goddamn, I love free stuff. Dugg
- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -0/+34"Looks kind of phallic."
If your penis looks like that, I think you need to go to a doctor. - MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -5/+39Latex = allergic reactions for some people.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -1/+35Ribbed for her pleasure?
- AZTriGuy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30"The Wii Remote Jacket is designed to be added and removed easily"
That's good, we have a couple of silicon covers for our Wiimotes, but they tear up when you try to get them off to change the batteries. I'll be ordering mine tomorrow. - CkMaverick, on 10/10/2007, -2/+30I was kind of expecting the first comment on the article and the first comment on digg to be different...
- TheUnashamed, on 10/10/2007, -11/+38Silicone wiimote covers?
I was kind of expecting latex... - badassninja, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26100% unneeded. I've never once dropped mine or sent one flying. Maybe they are just trying to curb law suits as the Wii passes the 11,000,000 mark.
- capiCrimm, on 10/10/2007, -5/+23Although explaining the joke with a woosh is a bit odd, explaining the woosh with the woosh is definitely against etiquette.
Perhaps you should try starting off with some simple "pics or it didn't happens", and slowly ramp your way up to shop jokes. In a month you'll be connecting cute dog pictures to Ron Paul and Global Warming. Just gotta take it slow and easy. - vhold, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17I think they're mostly concerned about the effect it will have on lawsuits.
- bonyicecream, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18That is one helluva professional hand model... or CGI.
- capiCrimm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17your lucky they don't make those blenders big enough for humans.
- Zippo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15You make a compelling argument.
- omghi2you, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14For the aussies:
To request a "Wii Remote Jacket", contact NINTENDO CUSTOMER SERVICE on (03) 9730 9822 Monday to Friday 9:00am to 5:00pm (EST)
http://www.nintendo.com.au/nintendo/news/index.php - AgentMull, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13I think they are tired of making money and are trying to give it back to us...
- danasghar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12how many of you R-tards are losing grip on your Wii remotes??? I hear Nintendo will also be giving away free ice packs for "pitchers" for between innings.
- jnadke, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Available now; order before the rush!
http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/jacket/jacketrequ ... - Bologner, on 11/03/2007, -0/+10Welcome.
- LaueOfficer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Did anyone NOT order 4?
- VaporBro, on 10/26/2007, -0/+10The title made me think they were giving a Nintendo Jacket away that made it so you couldn't slip. I was like ***** YES...
- REBELinBLUE, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Anyone know what that strap is that they show in the photo on Kotaku? I've never seen a Wii strap like that
- TheUnashamed, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10They were made by the same person...
- firstkipchak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8BALL O FAIL
- jasonpoon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8It looks weird...I won't let it cover the beautiful Wiimote.
- tony4moroney, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8yes it will have an effect on gameplay - less slippage.
- lloydpick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7UK Link - http://wii.nintendo.co.uk/22686.html
- magicite, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Anyone else have the page erroneously tell you, "Our records indicate that your request for additional Wii Remote Jacket(s) has exceeded the maximum quantity allowed per Wii serial number."
Unless someone managed to snag my Wii SN at some point [unlikely given that I'm the original owner], something is amiss. - nastajus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7anything can be called to look phallic. subways, buildings, anything longer than it's width. think, man. i'm burying this comment.
- bradcrc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6now how about getting my wireless keyboard to work in internet channel Nintendo? You got it to work everywhere else in the last update, so I know you can do it. :)
- Schmapdi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6You can get up to 4 per serial number you enter, which theoretically is all you should ever need.
- kettlechips, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6It looks like a normal hand to me.
- mrboratsagdiev, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Definitely took advantage of this one. Unfortunately the post-submission page was down, leading me to believe my order didn't get through. I'll probably have four of these on the way (two of which I'll just give to another Wii owner).
- XStatic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Taking orders now here:
http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/jacket/jacketrequ ... - stuartcow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5if you have gone through all the trouble to connect your wiimote to your pc then i think you aren't the 12 year old or 80 year old they are really doing this for
- Schmapdi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I'm not concerned about my Wiimote flying off out of my hand (I'm not an idiot after all) but, after looking at the page they are pretty spiffy looking so I went ahead and ordered some. Classy move on Nintendo's part to be sure.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4yeah...I am sure that no one at Nintendo ever thought about that!
- tavisjohn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I ordered 3 for my 3 Wii controllers...
I wonder if any 3rd party companies that have already made simular skins upset... - fragile00, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Gotta love good ol' Nintendo.
- keozen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Link to Reqest form for people in Europe:
http://wiiportal.nintendo-europe.com/22690.html
Have your Wii serial number ready
And for a laugh here is a link to the Silicone Cover "User Manual" http://193.88.35.62/fileadmin/media/footer_service ... - reekon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+45 comments up, Tavisjohn ordered 3....
- Push2Flush, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4thats the 4th gen strap;
1st one shipped with wii launch
2nd one looks the same only thicker at the latch point
3rd one had nothing labeling it Nintendo (looked 3rd party)
4th one has a lock to keep a tighter grip on your wrist - kravex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It's not a sticker it's almost looks like it's 'carved' in with a knife, both my Wiimotes have different numbers like this.
- kravex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3From the European order site "We reserve the right to request evidence of ownership of Wii Remotes for which a Wii Remote Jacket is requested."
Anybody had an email back asking for Wii Remote serials yet? - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I got a Wii on it's release day so I've been using it for almost a full year. And it's not just me who uses it, my girlfriend, her younger siblings, my younger siblings, my parents, friends, other guests at my apartment; everyone wants to play with it. Many of the people who have used it have no prior experience with it and most are anything but gentle. Often people using my system are drunk.
Not once has anyone ever thrown the thing, hit themselves, a household object or anything else. I'm using the original safety straps that breaks "too easily" too; I never replaced them and they've never given. Now I know it's possible for anyone to occasionally slip with anything, particularly something like a wii-mote, and I know that many people may often use the machine with small children who's grips and general ability to pay attention aren't fully developed. However, if you're over the age of 12 and throwing it out of your hand is a real and serious problem that you need to buy a product to help you with (assuming you don't have arthritis or some such condition) then you need put down the game, turn in your driver's license, quite your job or school and go spend sometime in a special home. - mrdoogee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Confirmation page is down, like I've seen others reporting. But I ordered my 4. Nintendo wins even more points from me for this. This is how I like to be treated by a company. Now if only there were more awesome games....
- smacksaw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It might confuse him which to play with. He might accidentally neuter himself playing Metroid.
- nonfamous, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Except the US order page seems to be broken:
