Gaming Moar free crap from Nintendo.

[DarthYoshi]

The whole "search for modchips" thing, I think they just want the code to make sure you bought it a while ago, rather then when these were already out. That way you're not just getting free stuff. So modchip users probably don't have to worry. I don't have a modchip, so I'm not gonna worry lol

 

[Hero-Link]

as usual... portugal doesnt get any of those..

 

[g.crow]

It is fantastic that Nintendo support their existing customers like this. Most other companies would just release the new version of the remote and force everyone who wants it to buy a new one. Fantastic customer service.

right. but for how long will they keep their great support if there are assholes out there claiming "i ordered 4, even i only have 1 wiimote"? makes me sick.

This probably has more to do with liability then modchips, guys. Relax.

It doesn't. Doesn't anybody remember when they sent out those new wrist straps for free...the exact same way?

i have 3 remotes but am ordering 4 because i intend to buy the 4th soon... is that bad?

You have an R$ with pirated games on it - and you come to us asking if buying a silicone cover on a wiimote is bad?

That thingy will be included in with the Wii, and any Wiimote (including WiiPlay version) in a few weeks...

So don't bother ordering this stuff if you intend to buy a Wiimote later

Unless you get one that's been on the shelf for a few weeks, which is possible.

And as far as them checking to make sure your system is old enough... it doesn't work that way with the straps. I got my Wii in April, so clearly didn't have the launch date straps issue, but I ordered four straps for free anyway and they sent them with no issue. I actually do have four remotes. So I ordered these too. We'll see if I actually use them. I don't have any straps on my remotes now, even after getting the new ones. They just annoyed me. Never dropped a remote yet or hit anything with it.

Launch-week Wii. I ordered some replacement straps pretty soon after they started, so I have 4 v2 straps and haven't asked if I could get some v4 straps yet. I'm gonna try again tomorrow before I start

'ing. First day up right?

 

[Bloodgod]

Edit: You have 15 minutes as of this post to call.

For european users...

I ordered some off of the European site last night. Does anybody how long it will be before we receive them? Is it going to be one of those things that turns up in a few weeks/months time after I've forgotten all about them or are Nintendo usually quick with this sort of thing and will have them sent out some time this week?

Please note, we will begin shipping Wii Remote Jackets on October 15th, 2007. Once your Wii Remote Jacket has shipped, you will receive a confirmation email from Nintendo. After that point, it may still take another 5 to 10 days for delivery depending on your location. Please do not contact Nintendo regarding your Wii Remote Jacket order until after that time period has passed.

[Icarus]
