| Wii Remote Jacket
Meant to post this a couple of days ago but completely forgot about it.
Basically Nintendo are going a step further than just replacing the straps with a heavy duty version and producing something that will stop your hand slipping before the strap is even needed. As of now all new hardware will be getting shipped with the jackets.
The good news is that if you already own a Wii you can go to this link and request up to 4 jackets free. All you need is your Wii's serial number and your on your way to non-slip play. |

Isn't the possibility that you might cause your pals brain damage part of the thrill of playing?

I was thinking of buying a Wii but I'm heading to New York in November. Do you think I should get one over there? Would it be compatible with games bought in the UK? | |

I thought this thread was going to be about a jacket input for the wii that you wore for boxing games or something.

If you put it online for any firmware/virtual console/any online reasons in the UK you generally won't be allowed to connect to the Virtual Console shop, not allowed to download new firmware, etc.
Also - it's just as out of stock in America as it is in the UK - they don't stay on the shelves here for much longer than 4-5 minutes. | |
