Author Topic: Do You Use The Remote Jacket?  (Read 10093 times)

The excitement of the Wii Remote Jacket has now worn off, and it's been long enough that everyone who wanted one has one.

So after all the dust settled, do you actually use the remote jacket?

Me, I got four but have never even tried it. I probably never will. Unless tons of people post here saying it makes it way better.

I still haven't bothered to order them, since I didn't feel like lifting up my Wii, writing down the serial number, and entering it on Nintendo's site. This may be easier to do now, now that my Wii and computer are in the same room.

My family got Wii Play not too long ago, and its Wiimote came with a jacket. I then found that I prefer jacketless-Wiimotes. The end.

My Wii Play didn't come with a jacketed remote. I don't really care about them either.
That was a joke.

Same. It's too much of a hassle to remove batteries when it's in the way.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

The bigger question is:
Did you Remote Jackets turn pink?

I use it because it was on my Wiimote when I got it. I never bothered to take it off.

To answer the original question, I've found that if you use the Remote Jacket, but remove the battery cover, the Controller becomes more natural to grip, reducing the possibility of cramping.  I played through SMG like that.

Hm. I never tried that. But I get maddening cramps when I use the Nunchuk for long periods of time... and there is no Nunchuk Jacket.

I do use the Wii Remote Jackets. Just took it off to compare, and maybe I won't anymore... It's a bit of a hassle for battery changes and plugging in extensions... And the strange dotted-line ridges are weird-feeling...

I typically use either the remote jacket or Nyko rechargeable battery cover.  I never use the strap.

Fixed. =3

In all seriousness though, yes, I do use the jacket. Not because I have to, but I find it makes the controller look cooler, in my opinion.

I too get massive pain when holding the nunchuk for extended periods of time.
That was a joke.

Why is that happening to someone/everyone, anyway? And what would cause it? Nothing of mine's pink...

****, no, I don't use the jackets. 1, I don't have any, and 2, they look like a bulky nuisance and just another blatantly neurotic way to try to make sure Nintendo doesn't get sued because someone wasn't holding on to the remote. Heck, I barely even use the wrist strap anymore!

The rubber is probably reacting to something in the people's houses. Mine are ever so slightly beige instead of white.
That was a joke.

Nope, I don't have one, and, as stated earlier, it looks like it'd be a hassle when replacing the batteries.
