Nintendo's Wii Strap Gets Safety Upgrade

GeekSugar — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 14:00:03 PDT

Time to put those handcuffs away because Nintendo World Report has just announced that the Wii strap will be getting a much-needed locking clip to replace the existing loose clip. Millions of Wii straps were recalled this year after reports of shattered TV screens and injuries, so locking clips will be put to good use to prevent further Wiimote flying incidences. No word as to whether or not the new Wiimotes will include these clips or if you need to purchase them separately. My advice is to invest in one if your Wiimote has a tendency to slip off your wrist during intense games of boxing!

Giant Plushie Wii-Mote

Don't you just love your Wii so so much?! I mean, do you love it so much you wish you could wrap your arms around your Wii-mote and sleep with it at night? Well those dreams can come true with the giant plushie Wiimote.

Kotaku exposed this 26" tall, 5.5" wide stuffed gadget to the world and I must say, I haven't recovered. It includes all the appropriate controls and can be used to sit on, to sleep with and for wild pillow fights.

This cozy Wii-mote is unfortunately already sold-out, and I can't seem to find it on any other sites, which leads me to believe this crafty creation is homemade and quite possibly hand stitched? Whoever you are and wherever you are, Wii fans want you to make more!

Nintendo was all about the announcements last week and because I love Nintendo products as much as I do, I want to make sure you heard all of the news! From a wider selection of DSi colors, to a new and improved Wii Fit game, I've included all of the info for your viewing pleasure.

Blue and Pink Wii Remote Skins

Since everything and anything is getting "skinned" these days and because most of you loved the blue and pink Xbox 360 controllers, I thought I'd share these with you.

Geek geared by TeamSugar user PrincessTracy, these Intec Wii Remote Skins are gel protectors for your Wiimote. Each cover is said to prevent remote controller damage caused by everyday use. And not only that, but you'll be making your Wiimote stand out from the rest. The colored skins cost $12 each and include a wrist strap.

ColorWare Splashes The Wii With Pink

The rumored colored Wii-motes are said to be making their debut at the end of June, but for someone like me who doesn't want to wait two months and who eagerly wants to personalize her Wii, ColorWare, may be the answer.

ColorWare is a fantastic company that will take your gadgets and colorize them to your liking. With over thirty different shades and prices starting at $100, your Wii will be the hottest console on the block!

And yes, they will most definitely match your Wiimote to your console, or not match it if that's what you prefer! Since I'm not a huge fan of peel-off decals, this is a great option for me since the paint is high-gloss and thankfully, scratch resistant. Check out more unique colors below!
