Free Remote Jacket Acessory from Nintendo.

[E_G_Man]

I'm not sure if this has been posted and I'll keep this short. Nintendo is offering free Remote Jackets for the Wii. All you have to do is own a Wii and request the Remote Jacket here http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/jacket/jacketrequest.jsp

If this thread is in the wrong place or has already been posted, flame away:hot:! (or move/ delete it)

[rodeojones903]

Awesome, thanks!

[garfep]

Wow, awesome find. Thanks OP!

[SpazX]

lol, wtf? Oh well, it's free, I'm in.

[MGoBlue]

Thanks, this is the first time I have heard of this.

[PrarieD0G]

Interesting. This is the first time I've heard about this too. Thanks!

[shinryuu]

Sweet, thanks OP.
EDIT: Did anyone get a blank page at the end of their order? I guess mine when through though since I can't reorder them? =p

[rodeojones903]

Sweet, thanks OP.

I did too, but it says I have ordered the max amount for my serial number. I guess they received it but are being hammered with orders.

[JBaby]

Huh, interesting... Thanks OP, in for my Wiimotes!

[mofo1115]

nice in for 4

i got a blank page too but hopefully they'll show up

[E_G_Man]

Yeah I got the blank page too, hopefully it all works out.

[vasco]

They seem kinda fugly. But who am I to say no to free stuff?

[oleskiier]

thanks op!

i also got a blank white screen... here is to hoping they got it.

[Link127]

Sweet, in for 4!

[Nibi]

Nice find OP.

[Rig]

Why did I buy those third-party ones for my two 'motes already?! I love first-party stuff, especially when it's free.

Thanks OP!

EDIT: I didn't get any blank pages!

[shinryuu]

Hm, Rig. Does it show your orders when you click on the link that says to click there if you ordered? (link on the same page you put serial number)

[zerowing]

Blank page for me so we shall see

[soccerstud652]

Blank for me...are you guys using mozilla?

I am guessing it worked because it won't allow me to send away for more.

[Slayzz]

I got a blank page too after submitting the order. Hope it go through!

[Cry Havoc]

No problems here, in for 4. Thanks OP.

[Rig]

Hm, Rig. Does it show your orders when you click on the link that says to click there if you ordered? (link on the same page you put serial number)

Didn't check.

But I just did. The order doesn't show up yet. But I also have "exceeded the amount" of jackets I can order.

[iowaholdem]

In for two and ended with a blank page.

Thanks much for this OP! I had no idea that these were available, or even existed for that matter! And way to go Nintendo! Seriously, what other company goes "Well we're going to add this piece to our accessory. So not only will we pack it in from now on, we'll also give it to every owner that wants some for free!"

Considering Nintendo makes a profit on every Wii it prob doesnt hurt them much to add like a dollars worth of plastic or rubber or whatever. Its definately good PR.

[OnChkMnDS]

I got a balnk page as well

[neudog]

Well I got the blank screen as well, so I went to resubmit and it said I had already ordered the maximum amount alloted. Crossing my fingers because it doesn't show any orders on "My Orders" page. Thanks OP.:D

[wolfhunt]

Nintendo is offering free wiimote jackets for anyone who has a system that was not shipped with them. No shipping fees.

http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/jacket/jacketrequest.jsp


I guess they are now shipping these with all new systems and wiimotes. To be fair they are offering them to all users who have already purchased systems. It looks like you can order up to four.

[Jewelz23]

cool, thanks.

[mofo1115]

already in free forum

[PrarieD0G]

Does anyone have an actual photo of the jacket to see what it actually looks like?

wouldnt have seen it, so thanks op

[neonglow]

I ended up getting an error message after submitting, but when I try again, it says I already ordered the max amount.

[Kuma]

the server is getting slammed right now

[DocRamon]

i wouldn't have seen it either... glad this was posted!

but uh... i was in the middle of placing my order, and they shut down for maintenance. like, i had 2 of the 3 steps complete, and it gave me an error loading my final step. hope that doesn't complicate things later on...

[decon]

I got the error message also, then I resubmitted and got this...

Sweet, thanks!

Thank you!

Haha, it looks kinda dorky actually. But what the heck--if it's free I might as well get 1 or two.

[phear3d]

thanks, in for 1.

[neudog]

If you're going to get in on this why would you just get one. There is always a good chance you will buy 1+ more controllers, so you might as well get the max IMHO.

[freshzen]

Are these silicon skins or what?

I'm currently on a work PC and don't/can't install flash to view Nintendo.com stuff.

[XorpheusX]

Got an error message too, then it said I exceeded the request limit. Anybody who didn't get the error - did anything show up in your orders page, like it said? If not then I breath a sigh of relief.

[ratzombie]

Thanks, I'm glad I never bought any. Now I get four for free. :D

[xeex]

The one sleeve I bought for a Wiimote ripped when I tried to remove it to replace batteries. I swore I'd never buy another.

Now I don't have to! I'll take 4 please.

[mykevermin]

I'm too old to keep covering my Wii in rubber, though I'll accept anything for free.

[dmunkee]

Awesome, thanks OP.

[gwing00]

Thx OP

[rmewpm]

thanks op

[Vinny]

Crap, you need the serial. I was hoping just having it registered would be enough... my Wii is back home so I can't do it until this weekend.:-(

[sasukekun]

thanks op

[BIG5]

It wouldn't let me get 4, so I asked for 2 and it took me to a shop nintendo page to confirm my order and enter my shipping info. If you're getting the blank page, it's not going through.

[mitch079]

Thanks OP. If you guys get a blank screen, try refreshing it.

[eugaet]

I got the blank screen in Firefox after entering the SN, # of jackets requested, and region. I copy/pasted the URL into IE and it let me complete the order.

Here's the URL I copy/pasted (notice the XXXX at the end!):
http://store.nintendo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SetCartCurrencyViewJT?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&productId=132704&categoryId=11157&renewal=false&currency=&tranId=&jktranid=XXXX

The XXXX is an individual transaction ID. I was still able to find mine in my browser's history. Hope this helps people complete their orders.

I did a little futzing around with the Nintendo Store and was able to pull up a Wiimote Jacket ordering page. Looks like they'll be selling them for $5 each.

[Covnam]

Mine went through just fine, got 4 on order. Thanks Op.

[Blade70]

Got 3! Thank OP

[gunm]

Sweet, thanks OP!

[Limegreen]

Im in for 4 as well with no blank pages, they will start shipping as soon as oct 15 sounds good plus they look good and they are free

[Prepster]

Thanks OP always love free rubbers!

[integralsmatic]

in for 4. no blank screen. Order completer. Thanks OP

[prateeko]

I got a blank page too after submitting the order. Hope it go through!

Same here, when I went back to order it said I was over the limit so hopefully they got my order...

[OrngRubberDucky]

it said to print off this page for my records. not really neccessary when it shows nothing but

Product subtotal $0.00
shipping $0.00
sales tax $0.00
Order total $0.00

[freshzen]

Hey guys I need some help...not sure if my order went through properly or not, got a weird change window screen or something like that (I'm using Opera).

Do they send confirmation e-mails or does it show up on My Orders?

EDIT...

Same here, when I went back to order it said I was over the limit so hopefully they got my order...

This is a great idea...I tried to order just 1 instead of 4 and it said I was exceeding the limit too, I guess my order went through.

[amusedtoe]

Somehow I missed the letters "et" in this thread and have been sitting here trying to figure out what a Wii Remote Jack is.

[Friend of Sonic]

Sigh... there's a trick to supposedly ordering free stuff I found out when I was screwing around. Register your serial, then go to the checkout. You'll see your rubbers for 0.00.
Open a second page (I used IE 7) and go to the main page of Nintendo Shop. I added a Wii lan adapter and refreshed the original page. It showed a quanity of 4X (same as my rubbers for some reason) of Lan adapters for 0.00, no shipping or tax. I doubt these orders will go through, but try it out! And don't abuse it buttholes because I just want one Wii lan adapter.

Well then you probably should have kept your mouth shut.

Nothing, really. I'm just a jackass like that.

[CAG 79]

Ordered 2. Thanks OP.

[007]

For reference... I did this in both FF and IE. FF gave me an error after step 1, IE let me complete ALL steps.

So, unless there's cofirmation the other way, you'd do well to try it in IE first.

(I had two serial numbers)

[DesertEagleXIX]

One Wii Jimmyhat is on it's way!

[daminion]

if only this came with gloves and hats my Wii Remotes would be set for winter.

[Tybee]

Don't be a sucker. Wrap that fucker!

First found out about this this morning when my Wii was glowing. Hoped it would be a nifty firmware update, but this is good news too.

[shrike4242]

I couldn't place an order online, as it said that I had exceeded the quantity for my console. As I ordered 4, one for each Wiimote, I guess it thought differently. I called in on the 800-255-3700 phone number and was able to set up an order for 4 of them, as well as 4 of the locking-clasp Wiimote straps.

The jackets won't ship until October 15th.

[Friend of Sonic]

Nothing, really. I'm just a jackass like that.

edit: hey, check it out! NEW Custom User Title!
Hahahaha I like it.

[eugaet]

Hmmm...I wouldn't mind getting the locking-clasp straps.

I got an email confirmation this morning. If you got a blank page and quit, I'm pretty sure you won't get your order. The following 4 pages are:

1. Cart w/ # jackets to be ordered
2. Shipping address
3. Order confirmation
4. Thank you for your order

And it doesn't matter whether or not you were logged in to My Nintendo or not...or at least for me. I still had to put in my shipping address.

Refer to my post on page 3 if you want to try to complete your order through another browser (can anyone verify that the method works?). Or just call the phone number listed in this thread.

[hulked]

Any way to get them in the UK yet?

[Cyb3-rr]

Now Nintendo joins RA Sushi as a place I can go to get free rubbers.

[blandstalker]

So, with all the Mozilla related problems, I thought I'd try IE first. Bad move.

I put in my request for 3, and get 404 Errors and Server Errors.

Go to Firefox, put in my request for 3, and it tells me I've exceeded my limit, but it will give me one extra anyway. I click "Proceed" and get a half formed screen that says "Please go Thank you."

I'm not sure if that's two unfinished sentences or if Nintendo is politely asking me to leave. Or to thank someone.

I check "My Orders" and, to no surprise, find I don't have any. So I go back in my browser history until I get a page that works.

After what seems like forever, I get a shopping cart with 1 remote jacket. After waiting more, it still hasn't loaded in some of the images, so I click on whatever the button is. It calls some javascript checking function.

Wait forever. Then I get the blank screen.

Reload. Wait forever. Then I get the address confirmation.

Click the button. Wait forever. ANOTHER blank screen.

Reload. Wait forever. As of posting this, still waiting.

Nintendo's web stuff sucks. First the headache with the Brain Age 2 stylii, now this. I'm all for free crap, but this is just a mess. Mess for them, too, since if I really want it, I'm going to have to get on the phone and waste some more time -- mine and theirs.

I have no idea if I have 0, 1, 3, or four of these controller jackets coming, and they're so fugly I don't know if I'm going to bother calling customer service.

Maybe it's a good thing that Nintendo doesn't do much online stuff with their consoles. If it were all like this, it would be a nightmare.

[Captain N]

Nice. Thanks for the head's up.

[OGHowie]

Nice

[lilboo]

I also got to the last step and it came up blank.
But when I re-did it in IE, it said my serial number had redeemed the max amount.

Has ANYONE received a confirmation e-mail? I haven't.

[LuisRM]

Will we see new updates to this design like we did with the straps? In 4 4. Thanks!

[eugaet]

I suggest that everyone who is having problems or are unsure if their order has been accepted call Nintendo at 800-255-3700 to get it straightened out.

[megashock5]

Same here, when I went back to order it said I was over the limit so hopefully they got my order...

Same thing happened to me. No idea if it went through or not, but I'm doubting it as the last thing it shows for my account is the replacement wrist straps from a while back.

Guess I'll try again tomorrow.

[Rocko]

404 error here.

[GT]

Sorry if old news, but IGN is reporting this freebie is costing Ninty $18million.

The suits must have a crystal ball calculator that told them $18m in rubber is less than $XXXmill in litigation??? Either that or warranty expenses from customer returns.

[Justin42]

Here is the email I just got in response to my question as to if my order went through (I got the Whiite Screen of Death as well)-- it seems to both say it went through, and to try again in a few days (?!).

Hello,


I'm sorry to hear that you had a problem placing your order for the Wii Remote Jacket. We are aware of the problem and are working on a solution. Please wait a few days before trying to place your order again. When you return to the website and place your order again, you should be able to view the order confirmation page displaying your seven-digit order number. This means your order was successfully completed.

Considering that orders will not begin shipping until October 15th, the wait should not delay your order once it does go through. On behalf of Nintendo, I thank you for your patience and apologize for any inconvenience.
Sincerely,

Nintendo of America Inc.

[Phoenix Audubon]

Got the message on the Wii; in for 4. After clicking "Submit", Meesa got a 404 page in IE. Oh well, will worry about it later. Seems they know about the problem already...

And, oh yeah...yay for free stuff! :applause: @ Nintendo.

[XboxHardcore.com]

I did too, but it says I have ordered the max amount for my serial number. I guess they received it but are being hammered with orders.

Same here.

[strdr4]

Is there something after submitting the order? I got the blank page and used up all 4 quantities. How do they know where to send the jackets to?

[eugaet]

So am I the only one who got an email confirmation?

I feel special.

[Chronotrigga]

Thanks for the find. I personally will do this LATER, because they start shipping October 15th. I will actually submit my request once this "Blank screen" gets fixed. Why bother trying to worry? I would suggest that anyone who hasn't done this yet wait at least a few days so Nintendo gets this sorted out. Better be safe than sorry.

[neudog]

I received the email as well from Nintendo and will be resubmitting closer to the 15th.

[Neo Queen Serenity]

I also received my confirmation a few hours ago.

[Kirin Lemon]

I also got to the last step and it came up blank.
But when I re-did it in IE, it said my serial number had redeemed the max amount.

Has ANYONE received a confirmation e-mail? I haven't.
I just woke up to find a confirmation email in my inbox, yeah.

[shrike4242]

I also received my confirmation a few hours ago.Ditto here.

[Mook_Dawg]

My order was similarly screwed in a Ninty website crash.

[ratzombie]

I guess I got lucky, ordered 4 yesterday and got a confirmation e-mail within 5 minutes.

[decon]

Tried again 24 hours later this time with IE instead. Page wouldn't even load after I submitted.

May just have to call the 1-800 number on this one.

[SolidMetal]

I put it all my stuff and it goes nutso on me and then i go back and do it again and its like I already exceeded my Limit...

[monstericreated]

Got a 404, went back, and got the "exceeded limit" error. Hopefully this went through. Guess I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks, OP.

[fshaia]

I called the 800 number, he said even if it said you exceded your limit, it didn't go through, at least that's what he said, he said keep trying every day or so.

[E_G_Man]

The good news is that if you had problems yesterday you can re-order in 24 hours (which I just did and everything worked this time).

[andysavestheday]

Worked for me just fine. Thanks a lot!

[jorgeed]

I believe the problem has been fixed. I was able to order 4 MAGNUMS this morning, after getting the message that I had exceeded the number allowed all of yesterday.

[Justin42]

Worked for me in Firefox today after having problems before, got an order # and everything.

[princessamy10]

Just got mine to work.. I'm not sure if I'll use them since I already have 3rd party skins, but I figure they have to be good to just get since they're free

[Bivensra]

Due to a high volume of orders being processed, there may be a delay in sending your order confirmation email.

[Tricky]

I emailed them about the 404 error. They sent me the following email.

I got that same email when I told them that I had registered my serial number for previous straps and that I had exceeded my limit.

[CheapAssAsian]

sweet find!! free ftmfw!

[Poolking99]

Love free stuff, even if it is pretty useless, but considering third party companies are pushing colored jackets on us, I'm glad Nintendo decided to just give them to us. Cut those cheap companies out of their profit on a useless product. I got four!

[unforeseen]

Just ordered the remote jackets from Nintendo. Used IE and printed out the order confirmation. Haven't received an email confirmation though.

[bigscoot4269]

just did it on firefox so whoever missed out yesterday should try again i had trouble this morning until now

[dmaul1114]

I just tried on firefox, got the 404 error. Tried in IE and said I'd exceeded the limit.

Guess I'll try again in 24 hours and use IE since it seemed to work.

[somahead33]

Didn't even realize my order failed to go through yesterday. Submitted again and I actually received a checkout page. Figured since I submitted through my login that everything was automatic. Thanks for the heads up.

[Nogib]

Went through everything last night, got order completed (eventually) and printed off the page with my order number and whatnot. Never got a confirmation email though. ; ;

[monstericreated]

I got so close to getting through to the end, but then I got an error page when I submitted everything. No idea if it went through or not...

[iazybandit]

if you got an error message when you submitted...it didnt go through.

I tried again to order the jackets even though the serial number i used had already requested 4 regular wrist straps and the order went through. I guess Nintendo reset all the serial numbers or something because I entered two Wii serials that had exceeded limits and ordered 8. 4 for me, 2 for my cousin and 2 for my coworker.

[Rocko]

Sigh. Got to the address part and got an error.

[lawdood]

If you guys are still having problems just call the 800 number. I did that, didn't even wait the 24 hours, told the rep that I got errored out online, and the guy was real nice and put my order thru over the phone. I guess you could also just tell them you don't have Internet access at the moment and they'd do it over the phone without a problem...took all of 3 minutes.

[sasukekun]

I ended up calling to put my order in as well. Was really easy, took about 5 minutes to confirm everything.

[lordwow]

Got an error putting in the serial number. Anyway, I managed to finally order the new wriststraps.

[shinro]

Finally got around to doing this. Put in my order online for 4 jackets with no issues. They have a disclaimer on the "Thank You" page that says:

Due to a high volume of orders being processed, there may be a delay in sending your order confirmation e-mail.

Looks like I have to be patient now....

[Limegreen]

WOW,This even made it on yahoo's homepage

[MorPhiend]

Got an error putting in the serial number. Anyway, I managed to finally order the new wriststraps.Boy, will you be surprised when that box comes...:roll:

[cruzincontrol]

Got in, don't know when exactly to expect these but I figure it won't be anytime soon.

[decon]

Finally did it this morning with IE.

Don't do this at night, too many requests is probably what's causing the errors.

[WiiGame]

I got the error message also, then I resubmitted and got this...

[dorikyasu]

Don't do this at night, too many requests is probably what's causing the errors.Yup. My order finaly went through this morning. Definitely try it in the morning instead of afternoon/night.

[princessamy10]

I did mine over 24 hours ago and still haven't gotten a confirmation email... Their system must be pretty slowww

I did print off the page with my order number on it though

[Droogs]

Was able to get through the whole process on firefox just a second ago.

[Phoenix Audubon]

Tried my 2nd attempt last night. It let me through to the order page; however, I saw that I hadn't logged into nintendo.com yet. So I opened a new page, logged in, and then reloaded the order page. It was slow going just to get to that page; the reload caused an infinite loop reload in IE; I tried starting over again (3rd attempt), but then I got the "exceeded request limit" page, and that I should try again tomorrow.

Tried again just now (4th attempt)--after I logged into nintendo.com--and I got an Order Confirmation Number.:) Still no e-mail, though. Furthermore, it was just as slow now as it was last night.:cold:

So...I better tell my brother it's safe to make a request now. 8-)

[dmunkee]

The page refuses to load after confirming my serial number, this is my second attempt. I'll give it one more shot before I just call them.

[unforeseen]

I finally received my confirmation email. In English, French, and Spanish.
No Asian languages?

[nadsofed]

I finally received my confirmation email. In English, French, and Spanish.
No Asian languages?

Cause you have a N. American Wii. I just did it and got a message saying due to high demand there may be a delay in confirmation emails.

[Foo228]

damn...still not working (tried in ie and firefox)

[ProtoEXE88]

I finally just got mine to go through. It was weird though, it sent to the Nintendo store to do the order after putting in my serial number, which I don't remember doing for the Wiimote straps... but I probably did do that before, but whatever.

Yay for free Wiimote condoms.

[OldKai]

Just got an email confirmation, even though I thought nothing went all the way through.

[lurknomore]

finally got to the confirmation page, but I don't recall receiving an email confirmation. Will cross fingers and wait.

[seen]

when i first saw this thread i got excited, then i saw the pic and realized its a game condom(to get ppl to register) and meant for those who are clumsy with their wiimotes.

[Tricky]

I got an email confirmation.

[NeoGutsman]

Thanks, OP! I tried late last night, and though I live near Seattle, I got hung up on one of the last pages.

I tried again this morning (9:00am PST) and I had no troubles ordering. :)

Good luck everyone!

The extra 3 months on the warranty is enough for most people to register.

Free is free.

[dg7md]

The page was horrendously lagged and slow when I did it a few days ago, but the order I set out for two verified according to the email I got.

[mephitical]

anyone get their condoms yet?
After days of trying, my order just went through like a breeze.
I don't think anyone's are shipping until the 15th, no matter when the order was placed.

[OldKai]

mine shipped today

[sasukekun]

Mine shipped today too.

[Mr. Pink]

My new Nintendo Wii came in with a remote jacket.

[Friend of Sonic]

Shipped. Although they caught onto the exploit I found and canceled my Wii Lan Adapter that I almost got for free. Oh well.

[icarusmight]

I just put mine thru today, had really forgot about it cuz when i tried originally the page didnt go thru. but now i got my order in, yay! anyway keep the posts coming so we can hear if these are any good anyway heheh. free stuff ftw!

[LinkinPrime]

Moved to Wii forum since its technically not a "deal".

[Ravenous]

Got my wii on wed and it came withthe sleeve already. I like it! Better than that $$$ shit at the stores all fruity colored.

I than placed my order today for 3 more and the site says backordered, but an email I got says theyre bieng processed.

[Foo228]

finally got in - thanks op

[4est]

I got my 2 in the mail today. Pretty nice jacket all things considered.

[WiiGame]

I got my 2 in the mail today. Pretty nice jacket all things considered.

sweet! mine just says shipped via ups on my order page. hope it comes soon, my wiimotes want to try it out 8-)

[Chacrana]

Hey, that looks cool. Oh wait, no, it looks fucking stupid.

[Strell]

I remember when Chacrana wasn't such an uppity bitch.

That was a glorious(ly mediocre) day.

[until_you]

The extra 3 months on the warranty is enough for most people to register.

Free is free.

No lie, I did register because of the jacket, but the extended 3 month warranty didn't hurt either. And you're right. Free is free! :applause:

[zerowing]

Anyone who got a blank page get a confirmation email yet?

[qwikstreet]

Thanks. Free is free. I doubt I will use it but one never knows. Plus I'm a pack rat of crap. Styluses, straps, thank you Big N.

[bigscoot4269]

yeah for those wondering if u should get a confirmation email mine came a few days after i placed the order i didnt think it went through right i even emailed them about it and the next day i received confirmation so it should go through with no problems

[dorikyasu]

Got mine in the mail today.
I guess now my wiimotes are well protected as they possibly can be :lol: , but they sure do look ridiculous...

[lilboo]

I never got a shipping confirmation yet :cry:

[The Crotch]

Haven't received my confirmation yet either, and I registered first day...

[trunks982]

Haven't received my confirmation yet either, and I registered first day...


same here

[georox]

I got a blank page, got no emails but the package DID arrive today. Evil white plastic satan-spawn package that was a PITA to open, then I pulled out a dagger and luckily missed the covers.

[gorgonzola238]

Got mine today too. I'm kinda liking this free stuff.

[squirrel007]

I got mine today also. The front is like a airbag aha. Not exactly attractive but they are functional and free!

[007]

Yup, I got mine today, too... and I never got any sort of confirmation.

[BIG5]

They are nicer than I was expecting. They might look a bit strange, but they feel really good, especially when holding the Wii Remote sideways for VC NES games. Definitely better than the $10 ones.

[lilboo]

Mine shipped today! YAY!

EDIT:... :dunce: So my shipping confirmation came a few minutes prior to me posting. Few minutes ago UPS rolled up and dropped my condoms. So if you didn't get a shipping confirmation yet, they STILL might be on their way! I hope I just brought some hope to a few people.

Ugly, but kinda cool. The pervert in me kinda finds these hot.. but I'll leave that for the OTT

[WiiGame]

i got mine today. when i looked in the mail, it first looked liek somebody put some brownie mix in my mail box (you know... like those betty crocker ones).

i look at where it came from and it was from Nintendo and i was like...ohhh... the wii jackets.

These things are rubbery. i haven't put it in my wii motes yet, but it feels good as a standalone.

[Miranda]

Just got the shipping confirmation for mine.

[Rocko]

No confirmation or package here. :[

Edit: Just checked my orders page, looks like they shipped today.

[Dragon_Master]

thanks I will have to sign up for some when I get home from work

[MidnightRain]

I received mine today. These feel much better than the skins I purchased earlier this year. I just wish they had different colors so you could tell remotes apart more easily.

[BLink]

Got mine today too.

[WiiGame]

the wii jackets make teh wii mote bigger. i think it'll take some time to get use to. they are soft and squishy though.

[MidnightRain]

I'm kind of disappointed that the jackets don't fit the sides of the lower half of the remote a little more snugly. But at the same time, it's not really an issue unless you're holding the remote sideways, and I imagine the jackets will be a lot easier to take on and off because they're looser there. I'll probably get used to it over time.

[Strell]

This thread explodes with potential innuendo.

Like a fully erect penis.

[007]

I admit, it's excruciatingly hard to follow up a post like that, but here we go.

I received the Wii condoms yesterday... and there is still no record of the order at MyNintendo, and I *just* got a shipping confirmation e-mail 10 minutes ago.

So, yeah, to stress this, if you haven't received any sort of confirmation yet, it doesn't mean they aren't already on the way.

Johnson.

[pittpizza]

I just got my four today. They are really cool and dont really affect playing at all (i threw in a little wii play to test it out). They are cool looking, and very soft and squishy.

My fiance kind of wants a pink one so i told her she could go buy one if she wanted to. Anyway I love them, theyre great and I def. feel more comfortable having guests try out wii play and wii sports just feet away from the screen of my hdtv.

Nintendo definitely makes this stuff better than any third party could. My condom fits snugly and its nice and tight; but not too tight to get off after I am done playing with my wii.

[Puffa469]

I received my Wii condoms in the mail today as well.

[WiiGame]

lol... i recieved my Wii Jackets this morning and I just got a confirmation e-mail from Nintendo like an hour ago that they have been shipped and it'll take 5-10 days to arrive...lol thats funny.

[pittpizza]

lol... i recieved my Wii Jackets this morning and I just got a confirmation e-mail from Nintendo like an hour ago that they have been shipped and it'll take 5-10 days to arrive...lol thats funny.

The same exact thing happened to me. I got the Wii remote jackets before the confirmation email.

[Tricky]

My Wii Remote Jackets shipped today.

[Cyb3-rr]

"My condom fits snugly and its nice and tight; but not too tight to get off after I am done playing with my wii."

LOL on that one

Got my shipping email yesterday.

[bigscoot4269]

mine came today pretty good thing for nintendo to do

[shrike4242]

I'll have to see how these compare to the Hori ones I ordered from Play-Asia.com, which are damned good, BTW.

[pittpizza]

I'll have to see how these compare to the Hori ones I ordered from Play-Asia.com, which are damned good, BTW.

I betcha nintendo's are better.

[shrike4242]

I betcha nintendo's are better.The Hori ones are very slim and fit snugly, as well as having a hinged back section which allows for the swapping of batteries without taking the whole damned thing off. Well worth the money IMHO.


I'll have to see how they compare when mine show up.

[Legolas813]

Why can't you change your shipping address before ordering? Everytime I change it, the screen goes back to my basket and they are suddenly trying to charge me $20. If I try to empty my cart and try again it says I have already ordered my free Jacket accessories and that if this is an error than wait 24 hours. So I wait 24 hours and the whole thing starts again. I try to change my shipping address and Nintendo tries to charge me for the jackets.

I guess I am going to have to call. The online system is really crappy.

Make sure you click the offer link on the front page.

[Legolas813]

I did. It is listed as free initially, until I try to change my shipping address.

[lilboo]

I really love these things.
It just feels so much better, IMO.

[lanleague]

I have to admit, I like em.

[pittpizza]

Yeah I love mine, they make the wiimote a little bit heavier and meatier which is nice since I have big hairy manly hands.

Plus they just look so much cooler and better. They also fell better and are more ergonomic. I'm tempted to throw the wii remotes around and see how much they can take a beating with the condoms on but will have to exercise some self restraint.

[eugaet]

Mine arrived yesterday. I'm very impressed in the design and quality.

[ITDEFX]

mine arrived today :)

when I took them out of the package, the first thing that popped into my head was "Shake the bitch!!!" I was laughing SO HARD in the car because I thought I was shaking a dildo!!!

Now I am going over to my girlfriend's work and wait for her to come out of work and Shake my dildo infront of her.. :)

[MidnightMetal]

yeah just got mine in today, I like that there ergonomic and everything but seriously looks like a dildo (definatly the last thing i want to waggle around in my living room)

probably get a cool colored one with wii-mote and nunchuk condoms

[lanleague]

I'm holding out for a banana flavored one.

[MidnightMetal]

I'm holding out for a banana flavored one.

:applause: nice

[pasteater]

pros: putting them on your Wii-mote is 1000x better and easier than any other silicone sking i've used. the grip is really fantastic.

cons: it looks like a tampon.

[Tybee]

mine arrived today :)

Now we can see why she finds you so charming.

[Tricky]

My Wii Remote Jackets arrived today.

[daroga]

They came in a few days ago. I've not really used them yet, but they seem pretty nice, especially for free.

[pittpizza]

Yeah im looking forward to galaxy coming out so I can really give the new wii remote covers a good testing.

I am sure that having these things on will offer more protection than just using the "pull and shoot" method, but I should remind everybody that abstinence is the only 100% fool proof method. If you don't want to be sorry, refrain from playing with your wii at all, but if you are, just make sure to use protection.

[Rocko]

Get mine in today. I'm rather surprised. From pictures I thought they looked pretty crappy, but I really enjoy them. I'm actually planning on using them, which I wasn't going to do. I like the cushion and the feel of them, and they are infinitely better than the third party covers I bought a while back (and stopped using after a few weeks). Much easier to remove, too, for easy battery replacement.

[ITDEFX]

Now we can see why she finds you so charming.


So I waited til she got of work, had her come into my car and said "LOOKIE!!!" took it out of the package and shaked it infront of her. She was like "WHAT THE HELL YOU BOUGHT ME A DILDO!??!?!?!?!"

LOLZ :)

anyways after having fun for a bit, I told her it was the free cover I ordered from Nintendo.

That was just too funny.

[$hady]

Thanks OP finally got around to ordering mine.

[Phoenix Audubon]

Got my 4-pack of love gloves today. They look okay, and feel okay. Although, it makes the slight bulge from the ChargeStation battery a little bit more noticeable, but that's okay. I also don't like that trying to press the Power requires some firm pressure in that corner; I got the hang of that the 2nd time around, though. I do like that they worked in a dust cover for the nunchuk port.

So all in all, not bad for free. Good job, Nintendo. *Pats the big N*

[Miranda]

I got mine today too. I like 'em better than the BD&A Remote Gloves that I paid for.

[lilboo]

These won't cause any problems with the upcoming Wii Zapper.. correct?

[lanleague]

These won't cause any problems with the upcoming Wii Zapper.. correct?
The Wiimote won't fit in the Zapper with the Jacket on.

[lilboo]

The Wiimote won't fit in the Zapper with the Jacket on.

Sigh. Though, not that it needs to have the jacket on when using the Zapper..thankfully they are really easy to get in and out!

[ratzombie]

Got mine, very very nice. It feels like something the Wii should have it from the start.

[sasukekun]

got mine today. they shipped it on 10/19.

[REL1203]

Ordered mine today, was gonna buy them on ebay, i really like the Nintendo ones the best... Thanks

[buttle]

mine came today. i couldn't believe all of the bad press it had gotten. it's certainly not cool. but what is cool about the wii? a buddy came over and we went through 9 holes of wii golf. and i thought that the jackets were great. i liked the grip. they gave your hands a little space to breath. i really liked it. they were fairly easy to put on and take off.

i'm very happy to have them. i haven't decided whether or not i'll leave it on during zack and wiki. maybe just for wii sports style games. but i'm not sure.

[Jommy]

I have to say when I first saw the pictures of the Nintendo skins I thought they were pretty damn horrible and ugly, but after receiving them today and putting them on my Wiimotes, I've completely changed my mind about them and will no longer play with my Wiimote without a condom!

[pittpizza]

Yeah i know I've said this before but I love mine and am looking forward to galaxy coming out so I ahve a compelling reason to really use the wii remote alot.

[Cambot]

This jacket looks like something my dog will love to chew.

[neudog]

Got all 4 of mine today. I like how they added the extra gel padding near the front of the condom. Guess this was the end that mainly went through the TV's. They might not be anything special to look at, but the design is well done and as mentioned by buttle the grip is much better than the 1st Party ones sold in stores.

[JJSP]

thankfully they are really easy to get in and out!
That's what she said.

[The Crotch]

Blech. I ordered day one, and still haven't received these things yet. Stop making me check my mail every day, Nintendo!

[dmaul1114]

Got my four today, and put two on my Wiimotes. Feels pretty good, seems to be a bit of a pain for changing batteries, but not too bad.

Will see how I like them when I get around to Mario at the end of the month.

[ArthurDigbySellers]

I like them more than I thought I would. The grip is definitely better and the overall feel makes holding the remote more comfortable. The only concern I have is that the hole for the sensor on the front of the wiimote is smaller than the sensor itself. That makes me wonder if it would have a detrimental effect on games that use the pointer extensively, like MP3.

[Tybee]

Got mine on Halloween and put it through its paces on Zack & Wiki. VERY comfortable. I like very much. And doesn't look too stupid. My one concern was that it would make turning the power on and off difficult, but it's still very easy to hit that button.

It's smaller than the sensor WINDOW, but not smaller than the sensor itself, which is essentially a tiny camera/photoreceptor behind the center of that piece of plastic. So no worries.

[t0llenz]

Yea, I just got mine and I agree with a lot of the sentiment here, I like it more than I expected. It does add some better grip to the controller.

Although with such protection for my Wii-mote comes the desire to see if it will bounce if I throw it at the wall...must...resist...temptation!

[pittpizza]

Although with such protection for my Wii-mote comes the desire to see if it will bounce if I throw it at the wall...must...resist...temptation!

I LMAO when I read that.

:rofl:I had to resist that temptation as well. You can't help yourself from thinking "I wonder how much of a beating this remote can take with this thing on it.?:rofl:

[anarchyburger]

i received mine in the mail yesterday, i have to say its pretty snazzy

[MotzCTG]

i just ordered mine, I had the $10 sleaves before, but ended up just taking them off because they were annoying when it was time to change batteries, and I am assuming these will be the same.

[JOHNNEY5]

i just ordered mine, I had the $10 sleaves before, but ended up just taking them off because they were annoying when it was time to change batteries, and I am assuming these will be the same.
A tiny bit, but still worth the price of free, while paying $10 to be annoyed at times is a lot worse.

These are really nice, they make holding the controller horizontally as if your holding a big soft NES controller, it's great.

P.S.

I like them more than I thought I would. The grip is definitely better and the overall feel makes holding the remote more comfortable. The only concern I have is that the hole for the sensor on the front of the wiimote is smaller than the sensor itself.

Seconded.

[Immortal fWd]

I don't know if this has been posted or not, but some orders did not go completely through, even if you got the confirmation email. I ordered day one and haven't received mine. I received my confirmation email, but when I checked my orders on nintendo.com it was nowhere to be found. I tried re-ordering but it said my serial number had already been used. I called Nintendo and the girl said they had some server issues and had to replace the order over the phone for me now. The jackets are on backorder at the moment she said, so she's not sure when I'll actually get them.

[BlueLobstah]

I was about to come in here to ask the exact same question. I guess I need to make a phone call to Nintendo this afternoon...

[blandstalker]

Got mine last week.

By themselves, they look dorky. On the Wii remotes, they look pretty stylish. They feel comfortable and they're easy to put on or take off.

On the downside, I miss the color. It's not terribly necessary, but I liked the look of the different color skins.

Also, it looks/feels weird for games that want you to turn the remote on its side. Not gamebreaking or anything, but a little less organic, if that makes any sense.

Can't complain for free, though. :)

[Chronotrigga]

I wonder if I can fit this somewhere else other than my wiimote.

[Strell]

I wonder if I can fit this somewhere else other than my wiimote.

Ho ho ho!

The possibilities.

It's like the hole-in-the-popcorn-at-the-movies trick, but a lot more obvious.

And disturbing!

[shrike4242]

The Hori ones are very slim and fit snugly, as well as having a hinged back section which allows for the swapping of batteries without taking the whole damned thing off. Well worth the money IMHO.

I'll have to see how they compare when mine show up.Forgot about this, mine showed up about 2 weeks ago.

They work OK, especially for the price. The Hori ones still feel better and they unhinge at the back for battery swapping.

For a free item given out by Nintendo, it's a good item.

[Ravenous]

After ordering 2 weeks ago right after I got my Wii (which already had 1 jacket in box), the other 3 are FINALLY being sent to me. I love the jackets and theyre so much better than the gay colorful stuff at stores.

[kleptoix]

mine said it was shipped on Oct 23rd but I still havent received mine. Wonder how long it takes to get delivered.

[Phoenix Audubon]

mine said it was shipped on Oct 23rd but I still havent received mine. Wonder how long it takes to get delivered.

I ordered before the Oct. 15th ship date, and I got mine exactly 2 weeks later, on the 29th. So, about 2, maybe 3 weeks, tops?

[BlueLobstah]

I just talked to a Nintendo representative (which I must add, has been the most helpful CS person I've ever talked to) and apparently they're extremely backlogged with orders. I guess as mentioned some orders did not go through. If you're unsure, you could try calling them or emailing I suppose.

[AmigoOne]

Got mine, they feel nicer than they look
