Now this is nice of Nintendo! Wii units shipping after October 1, 2007 are coming with an extra Wii Remote jacket accessory that wraps around the device to provide better grip and protect it from accidental drops.
For those of us who bought our Nintendo Wii systems before October 1, Nintendo is giving us the Wii Remote jacket accessory for FREE.
All you have to do to get one is fill out this simple form for the jacket on the Nintendo website and in a couple of weeks you should receive your free Wii Remote jacket.
Note: Have your Wii system serial number ready.
The Wii Remote Jacket provides cushioning for the Wii Remote for people who might accidentally throw or drop their Wii Remotes while playing games. Use of the Wii Remote Jacket is meant to supplement, not replace, the basic game-play instructions: keep a firm grip, don’t let go of the controller, use the wrist strap and make sure your play area is free of people or objects. The Wii Remote Jacket also serves as a cover for the Wii Remote. Nintendo recommends players use the new Wii Remote Jacket as a cushiony shield, though the current Wii Remote is a safe product when used properly.
Simon or Norman, do this for our Wii system (even if we don’t really need it).
