New Wii Remote Covers

[rtdgoldfish]

Anyone else see this?? Wii Anti-Slip Covers (http://kotaku.com/gaming/nintendo/nintendo-giving-away-antislip-remote-jacket-305922.php)

Seems Nintendo is providing them for free with all Wiis and remotes they sell. Kinda ugly but I guess they will help prevent people from throwing the remote through their plasma TV.

Too bad they aren't offering them in different colors like many of the 3rd party ones already out there.

Hopefully Nintendo didn't block off the battery cover like the 3rd party covers.

I still don't see a problem here. :p
Out of the hours and hours that six or seven people have played our Wii system (including my 2 y/o daughter), not once has the Wiimote went airborne.

Some people are just too emphatical with their swinging I suppose. :D

I'd like to see the correlation between thrown Wiimotes and alcohal consumption. Something tells me that one leads to the other....

I mean, hell, if I threw my Wiimote through my uber-expensive TV, I'd need a drink too.

From the diagram and picture it sure looks like it does.

Those jackets are fugly. Even if I was prone to throwing my Wiimote around I still wouldn't put them on.

Eww! I would never put that **** on my Wii remotes! What happened to their previous rubber cases. They looked much better:

Notice how Nintendo's Wii Remote covers have a reservoir tip? :eek: Fascinating...look at the shape of the thing. Plus, it vibrates....

Nintendo is going a bit overboard to cover it's bum. But, since they're free, I can't complain. :)

If it blocks the battery cover, than I won't bother getting it. I like the Nyco grip battery covers I bought.

I'm all for freebies, regardless of how fugly they look :D

Still never a problem damaging stuff with a Wii mote. Smashed the thing into the cieling once and not a spot of damage on either end! Cheers builders and Nintendo.

Those covers are hideous. They aren't even worth the $0.00!

[Koodauw]

I ordered one. Ill let you know when I get it.

[Shotgun OS]

I ordered four. Come on; they're free. What do you get for free these days?

Than why is is costing Nintendo $18 million? :)

Because they are only worth, what people are willing to pay for them. ;)

[JackAxe]

True, can't account for other's taste, or what they'll pay for it (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/h/halo3/hardware/). *just joking around* :D
