It seems that Nintendo wants the Wii mote to go the Pamela Anderson was as they have come up with a Wii Remote Jacket, which is basically a durable, silicone cover for the Wii Remote. It has been made in a way that it can be added and removed easily so that gamers can slip their Wii Remote into an accessory like the forthcoming Wii Zapper.
About Wii Remote Jacket:
- The Wii Remote Jacket provides cushioning for the Wii Remote for people who might accidentally throw or drop their Wii Remotes while playing games. Use of the Wii Remote Jacket is meant to complement, 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. The Wii Remote Jacket also serves as a cover for the Wii Remote. Nintendo recommends gamers use the new Wii Remote Jacket as a cushiony shield, though the current Wii Remote is a safe product when used properly.
George Harrison is Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. He explains, “We are always looking for ways to improve our products and make sure everyone has a safe and fun experience. Many electronics manufacturers offer similar protective covers for products like cell phones, PDAs and MP3 players.”
The Wii Remote Jacket by Nintendo will be included with all the Wii consoles as well as with all Wii Remotes sold separately or packaged with Wii Play. Nintendo intends to begin shipping the Wii Remote Jacket to retailers from today so that it will be on retail shelves the week of October 15, 2007.
