I can tell you without hesitation that the first thing I said when I saw a picture of the Wii Remote Cover was "Good Lord, that thing looks awful."
Well, I just got mine in the mail yesterday, and believe it or not I find myself NOT completely hating them. Some Pros/Cons:
Pros
- Everything is much less sweaty, which is great for any console, not just the Wii.
- Less dangerous to be playing Wii games.
- The (in my experience) floppy Wii Remote battery cover doesn't move around so much in your hand.
Cons
- Not the clean look of the original Wii Remote.
- Putting in batteries ain't easy any more.
- Feels a little bit awkward AT FIRST- you need to re-learn how to use the Wii Remote, essentially.
Well, still, in my opinion the Pros actually outweigh the Cons. My guess is actually that we'll see a second-generation Wii Remote that has colors AND the features of the Cover built in, plus a charger.
What do you guys think? If anyone else has received their covers in the mail, please share your thoughts.
