Hey folks
Just wondering if anyone can clear this up for me. I got my Wii yesterday and it came with the Jacket on the Wiimote, and there's also a new wrist strap with that - it has a clip to secure the tightener thingy.
I've got another remote so want to get the Jacket for that too. Does anyone know if Nintendo will give a you Jacket for additional controllers or are they just giving one to go with the controller from the system box? And also, does that new strap come with the jacket?
Cheers

i think you have to order the strap separately and you are able to order another jacket for extra remotes, i think. Just ring aus nintendo and check.

Ring Nintendo (03) 9730 9822 Mon to Fri between 9am and 5pm.
You must have your Wii serial number ready when you ring.

I personally don't like the jackets.

Yes, they will give you the jacket for free.

I called them 2 days ago. As I have to get more than one remote, I asked them whether they will send the jackets for my extra remotes (like 3 extras). The operator said the jacket comes with the new stock. If I have the old stock, all I need to do is call them and they will send it for me.

It's called MyDS... Same problem with mine, Nintendo said it would cost $80 to get it fixed and would take 2-3 weeks.

Ask on MyDS, I don't wanna be spamming, or just PM me

On-Topic Now: I haven't even got the Wii Remote Jackets or new Wrist Straps, I really can't be bothered.

I have rang and ordered mine. It is pretty easy. Just ring that number and you select the wii jacket option and get put through to an operator.

They ask for serial number and then you just tell them how much each of jackets and straps you need.

There is currently a delay in delivering the straps and they said they won't have any until new year (btw I rang early december).

Overall they are pretty good.
