Need a better grip on your Wii remote? Nintendo has you covered.
A few months after Wii launched, Nintendo of America replaced their wrist strap with a more durable model less prone to snapping under excessive stress, and offered replacement straps for already-purchased Wii remotes at no cost.
Now Nintendo is similarly starting to include Wii remote jackets—rubbery wrappers for Wii remotes that combat slippery palms. While those who have already purchased similar third party products are out of luck, Nintendo is offering free Wii remote jackets for remotes already in American and Canadian homes—all you need is the serial number of your Wii console. While this accessory isn't for everyone, it may come in handy during those intense Brawl battles come December, and you can't argue with the price!
