Now, you can be less likely to hurt yourself with your Wii - for free!


The Wii Remote Jacket, a protective and removable silicone cover, will begin shipping today.


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.

Yes, they have an online form for you to fill out.

“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.

Don’t run while carrying scissors, either.
