Title: Best revelation today was the wrist strap
Post by: 18 Days on September 14, 2006, 08:25:51 AM
Seriously. Now we'll be able to DO A BARREL ROLL! It'll be great. I'll try out swinging the remote around my arm in every game just to see how it handles it.

I had forgotten that the wrist strap was mentioned back at E3. It was nice to finally see it. This should alleviate a lot of fears of breakage due to an accidental fall or getting mad and throwing the Wii-Mote at a wall.

It was clearly seen in the 12 minute video from the UK conference.

It's kind of ugly, though. I wish they wouldn't use it in all their promo shots.

I was actually hoping it would go on the back of the hand so the Wiimote couldn't leave the hand at all.

Even with the wrist strap, I can see people letting go by accident and having the Wiimote spin and whack someone in the face.

It's f*cking white.  And a wriststrap.

There's not exactly a lot to go wrong there.

I demand pink wrist straps.

Actually, now that I think about it...

The PSP's white wriststraps are terrible.

Some kind of patent leather bs.  Absolutely horrid.

There's nothing wrong with it. The Wiimote just looks better naked and uncluttered.
