Forums - Nintendo - The Wiimote Jacket is unspeakably hideous

 

What is even the point? It makes me sad that this seems to be the official look of the Wiimote now, even appearing in the little "Warning segments" when you turn on your games

Do you use them? I never even bothered to order them, I have no trouble hanging on to my Wiimote.



Top 3 favorite games: Super Mario Galaxy, The Sims 2 (PC), The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

i've got no beef with it, but yeah its ugly. does anyone on here actually use one?



But it's ribbed for her pleasure!!!

Turn it inside-out to make it your pleasure!

I also think it looks a bit goofy, but the people I've talked to who actually have it seem to think it feels pretty nice.  I'll reserve judgement until I feel like bothering to order some... assuming they're available in Europe at all. 



i got some and use them, yeah it does look a bit ugly but it's definetly less likely to come out your hand, and if it did, less likely to damage anything, why do you need to look at the remote anyway?

When me and 2 or 3 friends are all playing (and drinking), i feel its best to take all the precautions you can.

I don't mind. My Wii came with the jacket, and I'm using it. Feels good, cause I've got big hands and the jacket makes the Wiimote a bit "meatier". And it doesn't really look bad, IMO.



Currently playing: NSMB (Wii) 

Waiting for: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii), The Last Story (Wii), Golden Sun (DS), Portal 2 (Wii? or OSX), Metroid: Other M (Wii), 
... and of course Zelda (Wii) 

my wiimote's have gone flying out of the hands of stupid friends and family 6 times so far. no damage done to anything, but my dad now understands why i kept telling him to usethe wrist strap.

i might order some of these hideous things if they're free :)



No Complaints here. Better than the ones I bought before.

Very easy to put on and take off.



I just got mine like 2 days ago. They actually feel quite nice. Gives the remote a bit more weight as well, which I like. The padding will help in those four player tennis matches when we start hitting each other =)

but yes, I still can't get over how amazingly ugly they are. They look even worse in real life than in that picture. It's a shame because the Wiimote by itself is a thing of beauty. When you put this jacket over the top it really destroys the entire aesthetic



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

I ordered silicon jackets for my Wii-mote before the offical one was released so I'll continue using them. But I'm considering buying the ones with silicon jackets for both the Wii-mote and nunchuck, it even has a little "hat" for the control stick that you can put on.
