deefuzz 0 Posted November 17, 2007 There's a new grip on the remote? I saw the new packaging but I didn't know they put a new grip on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeroenjaspers 0 Posted November 18, 2007 yeah, just like they renewed the strap, they now include every mote with a new grip cover. check nintendo.com to get a free copy of the grip-cover for all the mote's you allready have.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmca 0 Posted November 25, 2007 I don't think I'd even bother keeping the grip cover on. I'd had the Wii since launch and I've yet accidently thrown it across the room. Having said that, I'm sure I'll probably end up throwing one through by television screen by this time tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thor 10 Posted November 26, 2007 Those new grips make the controller more comfortable. Only problem if you want to use it in your zapper or guitar you have to take the controller condom off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark X 0 Posted December 5, 2007 It's worth noting that Nintendo are offering a free Wiimote grip to anyone willing to fill in a form on their website. Given that you don't even pay for the postage (as far as I'm aware), it's worth trying to see if they're more comfortable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Seany 0 Posted December 6, 2007 A friend got hold of one of the remote sleeves the other day and tells me that they are indeed very comfortable. I might go and fill out that form myself, as my Wiimotes take a hell of a beating - especially when a few beers are added to the mix. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSonicRetard 0 Posted December 11, 2007 Man, I cannot stand the remote covers. they look awful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gphoenix51 1 Posted December 19, 2007 I just can't get over the fact that this has happened so many times. I've played Wii Sports high and never once threw the remote across the room. I've fallen down alot, but being high that was the funny part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gnash 10 Posted December 20, 2007 The remote covers look terrible. I didn't get them. I'm still waiting for the colored wii remotes though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrFinkelstein 0 Posted December 29, 2007 The remote covers look terrible. I didn't get them. I'm still waiting for the colored wii remotes though. I don't think so. I ordered four for free from them and I like them although I don't use them much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
