Title: Wii Controller Glove Tear
Post by: Nick DiMola on December 19, 2006, 09:53:46 AM

Has anyone else experienced tearing of the Wii controller gloves? My fiancee went to remove her glove to replace the batteries, and in the process of doing so tore the glove.

I called Nintendo to try and rectify the situation and as it turns out, they do not deal with that problem. Subsequently, they redirected my concerns to BDA the manufacturers of the controller gloves. I have yet to hear back from them, but I will report on any of my findings. I truly hope though that there is some system in place so that I can return the glove and get a new one. After 1 month of use, there is no excuse for the product to tear in this way.

I actually kinda wondered about the whole battery replacement thing with these gloves... after checking 'em out, I decided to pass on 'em because of that... I figured it'd be too much work to replace the batteries in them.

Yeah it is a real pain. Syncing obviously is also very annoying.

Good news though, BDA called me back and with no questions asked decided to send me a new controller glove. The lady I talked to was very nice and very appreciative that I had invested in one of their products. It's always a pleasure (for me) to deal with Nintendo and their affiliates. I am always treated with respect and I am always helped when I call for assistance.
