Senor Iwata, hold off on the Wii Remote strap inquisition. It might not be necessary.
The Australian market (and I'm presuming the European one as well) is already receiving Wii Remotes with "next-gen" straps.
Those included within the Wii console itself are still the wispy, accident-prone type that first shipped in the US and Japan. But the strap in my Wii Play bundle? It's noticeably thicker. The pic shows it clearly (pic is courtesy of Shacknews: my digital camera has a pathological fear of close-ups).
