Nintendo's offering freebies in its latest attempt to combat the case of the flying Wii-motes.

Nintendo Australia has announced a new and official protective cover for the Wii Remote today called the 'Wii Remote Jacket', and it's being offered free to all Wii owners Down Under.

"We recommend to fit the "Wii Remote Jacket" to the Wii Remote in order to enhance your grip and provide additional protection if the Wii Remote is accidentally thrown or dropped during game play," the company said.

Dirt is less impressive.

It looks good.

Looks can be deceiving though, so I'll get some and see if I like 'em or not.

lol but even if you don't anyway there's not much chance the wii-remote can fall from your grasp for any game except wii sports and warioware

I dunno, it gets pretty intense when you're playing Smash, eh?
I mean, maybe it's just me, but my Wii mote goes 'flying' every time I play Smash. :D
Or any other game for that matter.

I don't think I've thrown the controller anywhere, as of yet.
I think I almost did on Mario Party 8 with the... shake the can one?
Thankfully I had the strap on. :D
Else my nose would have been broken. :'C
