Nintendo jazzing up Wiimote wrist straps


While we're still waiting for that leopard skin Wiimote wrist strap of our dreams, Nintendo will shortly release green, blue, pink, and white straps in Japan. Other than helping to distinguish Wiimotes between multiplayer sessions, we can't really think of a compelling need for these non-threatening, pastel accessories, but perhaps they're a sign that matching controllers are on the way? That's probably a long shot, but it would be nice.

For those of you with an interest in importing, these are scheduled to appear next month for ¥300 ($2.80) each, or you can snag the four-pack above for ¥1,000 ($9.25). For those of you who are too cheap for even that, you can make your own for nada.

  • Robert, who owns 7 Wii games
Congrats, Robert! Put these accessories to good use and spread the love that is Wii! Finally, we'd like to thank Atlantic for making this possible. Thank you all for reading and better luck next time!

Wii Warm Up: Broken


So you sent off for those spiffy new wrist straps, you wrestled them into the slot (made for thinner straps, mind you), and all is glorious and golden, right? Unless ... you've even broken one of the new ones. If so, a) you're not invited to play with our Wii remotes (but we still like you as a friend), and b) we're dying to know just how it happened.

Also, can we interest you in one of these?

Dress up those wrist straps


Plain white wrist strap got you down? No worries -- the legions of crafty folks at Etsy have your back. bs angel of Hawty McBloggy put together a few brightly colored examples to get you started on custom wrist straps, and we scoured the halls of the craft portal to collect a few more. Okay, that's a fib -- they all come from the same shop, run by wendigratz, who apparently has a thing for prettying up those plain straps. We're in favor of the idea, however. From the fluffy blue take on Wii safety above to a more gender-neutral beaded number, wendigratz has several strappy options.

With the holidays coming up fast, one of these pre-made straps might make a lovely stocking stuffer for someone special ... or better yet, they may inspire you to do your own thing. We have seen some creative solutions over time ....
