20: 25 - Wii got our jackets now.

Yes I am now about to enter a probably saturated market. The "I got those Wii Jacket things from Nintendo for free and thought I might be the first to talk about it" trend. So without further ado, I present to you... the Wii Jacket.



So basically the Wii Jacket is a gel casing for the Wii remote made and paid for by Nintendo. Yes, it'd free. Really free. Free as in all you have to do is fill out your address. So of course I was going to get 4 jackets for my ...1 Wii Remote. (I'll probably get remotes in time. But Nintendo also said that all new Wii Remotes sold will have jackets with them. So maybe I should start a collection!) Oh I'll add that Nintendo kept to their word about delivery, they got it to me within 10 working days, exactly how they said they would.



In your hand the Wii Remote feels under an extra grip and completely removes any worries about the remote flying out of your hand into your brand-spanking new TV. (That's not to say I have a brand-spanking new TV.) Also the ergonomic feel of the jacket, in my opinion, feels better than the plain, old, jacket-less remote. However I must add that with the gel jacket the Wii remote has a slightly larger weight. I think the extra weight makes it feel much better, heavier and sturdier. And for any parents/guardians who found this article on Digg or Myspace the jacket makes the remote "Heavier" but not too heavy too make it inaccessible for every one.




OK, now that you have seen what the Remote looks like with the jacket on. Please, please, please tell me how the remote now looks like a dick? Because I do not see that. Holding it from either end (see below) it fails to looks like a love-length. At the most it looks like a female (or male) sex toy. But didn't the Wii Remote look like that any way? Meh, t'hell with all of you.



So, anyway all in all the Jacket gets a decent 4/5. (When forgetting the price, because basically it being free would get it to a 4 anyway.)
