Wii owners listen up! Your Wii Remotes are about to get just a bit safer. Nintendo has decided to include a Wii Remote Jacket for the Wii remotes shipped with the new consoles. For those of you who purchased a Wii prior to the change, Nintendo will send you jackets for your existing remotes. The message on their site says that they won’t begin shipping the remote jackets until October 15th, but you can go ahead and put in your request now and you’ll be notified when it ships. I’m sure you’ve seen what a Wii Remote Jacket looks like, but just in case, it’s pictured to the right.
For each system that you own, you can request up to four anti-slip silicone jackets. Click here and you’ll be taken to the website setup just for this offer. All you’ll need is the serial number off the bottom of the console, and then enter in how many Wii Remote Jackets you’d like to request. That’s it!

I keep getting 404 error after I fill it out, but since it is not going to start shipping till the 15th, I am going to try again.
Why is it US/Canada only AGAIN. I could not find the same page on GB Nintendo website
Mohan, that happened to me twice when I was doing it before it worked. Try a little later, and hopefully it’ll work for you.
I’m going to go ahead and state the obvious. It looks like a WiiMote condom. It’ll keep your TV safe!
Screw it. I don’t even wear the strap in the first place….
I wear them, and I’m glad I do, One time my hand got so sweaty from playing Wii Sports for a few hours that the remote flew out of my hand. If I didn’t have the strap on it would have been through the TV.
That’s pretty cool! My order is processing. It’ll match up great with my free wii I got!
How did you get a free Wii?
The site linked to from my name explains it. I did the same stuff many times, and got my ps3, psp, ipods, and more in the same way. People should probably READ and understand how it works before calling it a scam.
wii ftw!
