The New, New Wii Strap

Play Nintendo and Go Nintendo are both reporting on what appears to be a third Wii remote safety strap.

This latest one appears to be thicker, longer and (no, not uncut) has a better plastic doohickey for cinching the thing to your wrist. The plastic dealio on my current old-school break-away strap always slides down, so that's a nice improvement. What I don't like is that the new strap doesn't feature that coolio Wii console shape on the end, instead it's just a rounded plastic nub. Booo! Brian Crecente
