    If the cable were a little longer, you could thread it through a small child's coat sleeves to stop him/her from losing the controller.

    So give people boxing gloves and assume they're going to punch themselves in the face? That's kind of silly. I'm sure an idiot somewhere will try to punch his friend, but that's a far cry from what you guys are all saying.


    Definately not going to work for my lanky arms though, until Nintendo releases a cord-extending peripheral.

    @Saxboy: No no no, you missed the point. He's saying that if you spent $30 on these you would be making a grave error in judgment. Upon realising this error you would feel compelled to strike yourself across the face in penance. Not that people who wear boxing gloves all feel the automatic and uncontrollable urge to rain blows down upon themselves.

    @The_full_metal_alchemist: I assume they press buttons when doing this: "we want people punching themselves in the face while regretting their purchase to really learn from the mistake."

    "Hopefully they're not as padded as real ones; we want people punching themselves in the face while regretting their purchase to really learn from the mistake."


    Heehee it's funny because it's true! Hope companies stop will all the accessories for the Wii.


    What's next a Wii controller holder? Oh wait...
