Regarding the news (http://reviews.dcemu.co.uk/new-wii-wrist-strap--70190.html) of new Wii Straps with a locking clip instead of a slider, it seems to be confirmed.

You can request for replacement wrist straps by going to Nintendo's website (http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/strapreplace.jsp), filling in required information and your Nintendo Wii serial number. For those who have already entered their Wii serial number and exceeded the maximum quantity allowed, you can either email or call Nintendo (http://www.nintendo.com/contact) and request for the new straps.

That's only for U.S./Canada, Nintendo don't care about us Europeans and if our straps are broken or not. I don't use my straps (I disliked the slider), but I want replacement straps for if I ever decide to use a strap on my Wii Remotes again.

If you know someone from the US that has a Wii and hasnt registered their Wii, you can ask them to order the replacements and then ship it to you.

I guess Europeans arent as whiny as us Americans/Canadians :p.

I guess there weren't as many complaints about wrist straps in Europe, I don't even use my wrist straps (I know how to hold my Wii-Remote) but Nintendo should've included Europe on this because I'm sure there are people who really need the replacements (unlike me just looking for a freebie from Nintendo) lol :p
