i wear it because i never know when i'll get so excited, and then, maybe, it'll fly out of the window by accident. and wii sports is a very challenging game so there are a lot of times when i get so into action that maybe it'll slip my hand unnoticed and it'll fall and break. then again, i have that thing that covers the wiimote, something kinda made out of rubber, so it's safe. but i wear it,just to be sure. and my mom told me to. o.O

I wear the wrist strap for wii sports definitely, but if it's for a quick match on ssbb for instance, i won't since there's not as much shaking and swinging and moving involved, but it doesn't feel right to me not wearing it.

Considering the fact that I'm pretty clumsy, I do wear it most of the time. Only for games that require me to swing my arm though - for other games (like Fire Emblem), I personally think it's pointless to wear it. Unless I decide to fling the remote at the TV due to frustration. Aside from that, no. XD

LoL I get lazy and don't even wear the strap. I dunno, I find it meaningless most of the time, neither did I try to swing the remote that hard that I flies away. But I guess I have to be thankful that the straps exist. Like this one time my 4yrs cousin was playing bowling and baseball in Wii Sports, he was swinging the remote that hard that it almost hit my cousins baby. >< He were close to let go of the remote too while being too into the game. x__x

I do, sometimes I forget though X'D but when playing games like "Wario smooth moves" or "Bleach" I has them on :smoke: because I know that I'll hit something if I'm not wearing the strap~

Depends on the game. If it's something where I have to swing the remote around a lot, then probably.

I use it for every game I play on the Wii. I have seen many Youtube videos of people breaking large TV's by throwing the Wii Remote due to not wearing the Wii Strap. They're funny, but it also teaches you not to ignore it.
