Nintendo announced a new Wii accessory on Tuesday to enhance the grip and cushioning of flying remotes.
This looks about as cool as wearing a bike helmet
The Wii Remote Jacket, a protective and removable silicone cover, will begin shipping on Oct. 2 (that's today) in an effort to reduce the peripheral damage caused by flying Wii Remotes. The accessory comes bundled with new Wii systems, Wii Play, and Wii Remotes free of charge.
Existing Wii owners can receive four free covers upon completion of Nintendo's online request page or by calling 1-866-431-8367.
"Use of the Wii Remote Jacket is meant to supplement, not replace, the basic game-play instructions: keep a firm grip, don't let go of the controller, use the wrist strap and make sure your play area is free of people or objects," reads a statement from Nintendo.
