Long story short, got these from Nintendo in the mail today. The little locks really hold tight. Nintendo says new Wii units (and individual controllers) should be shipping with these and arriving in stores soon. Check Nintendo's online store to see if you're eligible to order some.

Same, which is why, like matt oz, I never saw a need to replace them in the first place.

I ordered my second two just because my Wii Television Remote did not come with a wrist strap and I wanted one to go with it (went ahead and grabbed a fourth just for the heck of it). When they arrived today, I was quite surprised.

i still have the original straps in place, there's no need to change them since they're not faulty like people believe they are. These new ones do look cool though and they're free so why not? i'm placing an order for these

Boo. It's probably because I ordered 4 back then...
Post by: EasyCure on August 02, 2007, 10:00:04 PM
I know i won't use then but i have alot of younger cousins so it'll be nice to secure the straps more properly for them.
Post by: Strell on August 03, 2007, 08:22:09 AM
I could use at least 4, but 5-6 would be better.

I don't even use the strap, I just make anyone else that plays with my second Wiimote use the strap

There's a Nerf shell coming for the wiimotes in October. They look pretty sweet.

If anyone would be kind enough to PM me their Wii serial number, I'd be very grateful.
That is, if you don't plan to order these new straps of course. Thank you

I don't know how much ninja stealth Nintendo's CSRs employ, but I would think they'd notice an incorrect address. That is, unless they never registered their system.
In which case, yes. Someone PM me that if they don't care and they qualify. I wants me summa deez.
