Topic: Wiimote jackets; does anyone actually use these things?

They're bad when using the wiimote sideways, so no. The wrist straps were also immediately removed.

I'm surprised so many people use them I don't use the strap or the jacket. I've never had a problem of losing my grip on the Wiimote, but maybe my hands just don't sweat as much as others'

Nope, I got the console before they were included. I did order them from Nintendo but I moved before receiving them.

I only use the strap on games like Wii Sports, because I own grips for the battery door that seem to work just fine.

Yes. I like the grip.

I did try mine out initially (by the time I bought my Wii (October 2007) they were included as standard) but the wiimote felt too cumbersome. I do use the straps -- just in case -- and they're colour-coded so I know which remotes are mated to the PAL Wii and which to the Japanese Wii .

It will be interesting to see if the next generation wii-remote will be as 'chunky' and have a 'rubberised' feel. I use mine and swear that it helped me defeat the giant scorpion on Umbrella Chronicles

i love the wii jackets!!

Love em too, i use them mainly for vc games. So much more comfortable that way. Also i have kids...

I use them too - but, what do you think will happen with them when Wii Motion Plus is released? Will there be new jackets?

Yeah. Most pictures of it show a longer jacket with them

i use them both but wii strap tends to make me uncomfortable whe holding the wii mote sideways for charge on wii play

I use them.

I never used them before, but sadly I've decided that it's almost necessary with Motion Plus installed. If you connect the Motion+ without a jacket, the weird tabs, switch, feet, and indentations on that thing, which was clearly intended to be used inside the jacket, make your remote look ridiculous and disjointed. So, for the one Wii remote that will keep the M+ attached the majority of the time, I'm keeping on the new jacket. Since the only M+ game I own right now is Tiger Woods 10, the grip is actually useful anyway, and makes the whole thing feel much more like the grip on a club.

I still keep the jackets off of my MotionPlus-less remotes, though.

I use the one with Wii MotionPlus, but for other games I don't use them.

How come it keeps saying I've edited posts right after I post them? Grrr.

mah... dont like them. feels strange while holding them sideways. i even get rid of the straps sometimes. well let's see what happens when M+ arrives

I bought my Wii and extra remote before these things came out, so I don't even have them. Also, I took the wrist straps off because I don't like how they look/feel.

you can order them for free on nintendos hompage.

No, but at least they were free

Yeah I use mine all the time cause my wii-motes are always getting dropped or knocked off the table(i've a 2 year old daughter!!) I do like the feel of them now as well ,although changing batteries is a pain. I have the wriststraps on there too but don't always use them and end up whipping myself with them (not in a kinky way!! LOL) nearly lost an eye once while playing wii sports!!
