When do you strap your Wii?
« on: January 01, 2007, 06:35:52 AM »
When do you use your Wii strap? I've never had it slip or anything but I always use it during WiiSports (except golf) . I don't use it during Zelda or when browsing menus/Miing/messaging/etc. If I got a game like Wario Ware I'd probably use it too. I always keep the strap, though. The only time I connect it through the attachments is for boxing, though.

I always wear it and always connect it through the clip on remote accessories. Well, occasionally I do not wear it if I only plan to use the menu or Mii Channel or something. It actually feels weird to me when I don't wear it.  
Thanks for listening.

I wear it for Tennis and Bowling.  Never wear it for anything else.

Only when the girl is really, really skanky.
I must find a way to use "burninate" more in my daily speech.

I usually wear the strap but I don't bother to use it or pull it through the hook when using the classic controller (for obvious reasons...)

I put it around my wrist all the time but I don't put it through the nunchuk because I don't see the point.

I put mine one when I'm playing games made for the Wii. The VC games I don't. (In Super Swing Golf I always get the urge to purposly throw my controller at the TV)
Stupidity is lost on my. Then again I'm almost always lost.

Usually only for tennis, maybe bowling.  I find I'm pretty confident in my grip otherwise.  I've never slipped at all, though.

Other than Strell, did anyone else notice how awkward the wording in the title is?

I never use it, took it off from both my remotes because they bug me, even for monkeyball I don't use it and it just shows how much I can hold myself from not throwing the remote in anger across the room.

I don't use mine, only on rare occasions if my hands feel sweaty or slippery and i'm playing tennis or baseball.  Not for a game like Zelda or Excite Truck

I always wear it now.  In the age of wireless controllers, the lack of a tether has for some reason made it more compelling to throw the remote at the wall when I get angry.

I always wear mine. It feels like driving without a seatbelt when i'm not wearing it.  I just don't think it's worth the risk.

Oh I did but I chose to ignore it because yeah, weird jokes are gonna pop out if I DO notice it.
Did that make sense at all?
