Is your beloved Wii Remote still flying out of your hand and hitting innocent bystanders in the head (or worse, smashing your beloved plasma)? If so, help is on the way—in the form of a free silicone cover, courtesy of Nintendo.
Kotaku is reporting that Nintendo will start giving away the new Wii Remote Jacket, which the gaming giant describes as a "cushiony shield" for "people who might accidentally throw or drop their Wii Remotes while playing games," starting on October 15; the cover will also start shipping with all new Wii consoles. The translucent cover looks pretty cool, at least from the pictures, although we'll have to wait and see whether it interferes with, say, Wii Bowling in any way.
Ready to get your hands on your free jacket? Just visit Wii.com or Nintendo.com to place your order, or dial 866-431-8367.
Order PLACED! Hehehe.

I actually have no plans to get these things. I have a charging stand for my Wiimotes, and the electrical contacts won't meet if I put a sleeve around it.
At the end of the day, you just can't get real contact with a condom on. BAREBACK ALL THE WAY!!!!!

What brand do you have? I was considering picking one of those up.

I also don't intend to pick these up- I have third-party sleeves on three of my remotes to distinguish between different users', and I don't have a problem with flying remotes anyway.

Hrm. Would Nintendo still be evil if they gave away their wii-condoms to impoverished Africans who don't have access to
real condoms?

I may not use these, but free is free, especially when I don't have to pay shipping either.
