Wii MotionPlus Comes Stuck in Rubber Case
Nintendo Forces Safety Down Our Throats
by Coop
Know what sucks about rumors? Every so often the stupid ones end up being true. Pictures are coming in showing Nintendo's Wii MotionPlus device being stuck permanently in the rubber casing that shipped with recent remotes. This means that Nintendo, for fear of another frivolous lawsuit involving idiots with sweaty palms, is forcing gamers to wrap their Wii in a rubber if they want to play MotionPlus enabled games. Yeah, I went with that joke - hope you don't mind.
This bothers me. I've made it three years without throwing the Wiimote through my television, and I'm pretty sure I could have gone three more. Every remote sold comes with a strap and case, so this seems a bit redundant. Hell, every Wii game begins with a thirty second reminder "not to flail aroud like an idiot," a warning I've done a good job heeding.
I, for one, plan on taking out a blade and prying the peripheral free from its rubbery prison as soon as I pick one up. Anyone with me?

I can't feel anything with a rubber on.
Yeah that's ridiculous. I hate that stupid jacket. I hate how it looks. I hate how it feels. I just downright hate it. If I even get the Wii Motion Plus, I will be prying it out of that jacket. I don't care how much damage is done to the jacket.
Maybe because the current condom isn't compatible with the extension? Only reason I can think of...
Wow, that's pretty stupid. I also have gone almost three years without throwing a remote, and I even removed the wrist straps as soon as I took it out of the box. But I don't even know if I'll pick up MotionPlus right away, and if anything it should be amusing to watch Coop try and free his from a rubbery prison with a knife.
