So many jokes. So many jokes. Yeah, I signed up for the free Wiimote condoms when it was posted on this site exactly a month ago to the day. Yesterday I finally received my jackets. The funny thing about it was that earlier that very morning I received an email from Nintendo saying they had been shipped and when picked up the mail the same day it was there.

Anyway its a soft silicon plastic that slips on yada yada. We all have seen the photos and know the real question is whether you will be using it. I personally wont be using it for personal use. I liken using the Wiimote jackets to having slipcovers on on your couch. You know, it just looks a bit tacky and I like the look of the Wiimote as is. So yeah I like it raw but I will most definitely use the Wiimote condoms jackets when I have a few people over all playing Wii at the same time in a Wii party type situation so they don’t break my shit if they swing it or drop it.
