Wii Jacket

Developer: Nintendo

Current Price: Free

Originally not shipped, Nintendo thought it needed something other than a new strap to protect its controller's from breaking any more T.V's. This Jacket has little ridges that will make your remote unslippable. One Wii Jacket comes shipped with all Wii Remotes. I know what you're thinking: Wait i bought a Wii before that I want one. Well lucky for you Nintendo offers to ship you some for free for all you Wii Remotes.

This is a bad thread

A Wiimote isn't an accessory, that's like saying tires are an accessory for a car.

Also you have the worst choice for SD cards, the fan is useless, and you show off the inferior charge stations rather then rechargeable batteries.

Don't listen to Jasonguy. No need to bash his thread just because he called the wii-mote an "accessory" and didnt put down rechargable batteries.

I think this is a really good thread for people who just bought a wii or are looking for some accessories.:)

Many stores consider game controllers as an accessory.

Also recharable batteries are not consider a Wii accessory.

Nice thread TC by the way. I suggest adding the new House of the Dead game to the Zapper list. Also it could help if you say it came with Link's Crossbow Training.

Also the mike is used for a game called Boogie and I think High School Musical and maybe something else.

Also the nintendo wifi usb connector has been discontinued so you might want to take that out.

Lol I thought it was sorta funny. :)

This is a good list, since it seems you put a lot of effort into it, adding pictures and looking up the prices. I knew most of this already, so it doesn't help me much. Still, good job!

And don't listen to Jasonguy...he's pretty much a troll who loves to think he's smarter than everyone else. Don't be surprised if he starts up his own thread about useful peripherals or one griping about how people call a Wiimote an "accessory" - which it is.

Funny because every electronic store you look at on the internet and go to "wii accessories" wiimotes/ nunchucks are there STFU

This deserves a bump I think there's more wii accessories than there are wii games out right now , don't forget the wii-fit board coming out, it'll be used for more games coming out.

Replace "think" with "know" and you'll be set

There's no reason to buy official SD cards since all you're paying for is the sticker. It's more useful to direct users to get SD cards anywhere they can for the lowest price as long as they're 2gig or lower.

There's no reason at all for the cooling fan. The only reason a Wii overheats is because the heatsink isn't on the board correctly and no matter how much airflow you pass through the Wii it wont prevent it from overheating.

The charge stations are a waste of money when rechargeable batteries work better.

If you're going to make a recommendation thread then you have to make one that HELPS the users. Not gives them false information or the highest priced alternatives.

Who said this was a recommendation thread? He was giving a list of all the accessories for the Wii. It even says so in the first post. "This is the official thread for all of the Wii's many accessories." Batteries are not accessories for the Wii. SD cards for the Wii is accessories for the Wii. The cooling fan is an accessory for the Wii. The charge station is an accessory for the Wii. Bob was right, some people on GS dont read anything.

Also I doubt insulting everyone will make you very welcome on this board.

Someone thinks awfully high of himself. Last time I checked, this was an accessory thread not a recommendation thread. Rechargeable AA batteries are not Wii accessories and the fan, whether you agree with it's use or not, is an accessory.

This goes out to all the people saying stupid comments. This is not a recommendation thread. This is an accesory thread just to show the many Wii accesories.

1. Wii Remote is an accessory

2. Batteries are not accessories

3. Memory cards are accessories
