Nintendo has refined their Wiimote wrist strap design again, almost successfully removing all user responsibility for holding the controller. The newest revision has a locking clip that should keep the strap firmly in place. And if this doesn't work, it's time for Krazy Glue.

It's currently unknown if Nintendo is willing to send these out for free as they did with the original replacements, or if these will only be included with new Wiimotes. But if your current strap isn't constantly sliding off your wrist, you don't really need one of the new ones! Unless you just really want it to be more belt-like.

I don't use a wrist strap, but the one on my first Wii Remote is constantly loose...

...Wonder if they will replace straps in the UK?

Yes!
Actually, I really don't have the patience to go through all that stuff just to get my damned straps.

Actually, I just got a set of these the other day. I had ordered some replacement straps and I was surprised to see 4 of these straps in the little mailer they sent. Interesting.

They do have little teeth on the clasp that grip the strap when you close it, so it feels fairly secure. But then again, I have never oiled myself up to play Wii sports so......
