The new straps aren't as good as the ones the originally came with. They resisted the strap, causing it to stay tight.

Yes, when necessary, I don't use it on virtual console games, only one games where you swing intensively.

I only use on things like Wii Sports, where it involves lot of motion. On stuff like Fire Emblem though, I don't.

No, not always. I do when I play high-activity games, anything that has me moving my hands frequently and actively. Games that just require a casual wrist flick or point-and-click, no. It's uncomfortable and it's awkward trying to get it through the remote cover.

I where it when my friends are over, cause we get jinda into it, but normally I don't...On the other hand, my friend's little bro came over, didn't wear it, got hyperactive, and accidentally flung it across the room setting a new record in my game and breaking the remote at the same time! :(

I wear the wrist strap all the time when I'm playing on my Wii, even when the game I'm playing doesn't require much movement, such as Brawl. It's good to get into the habbit.

I never wear the wrist strap. I never play games that would require me to wear it though.

I pretty much only use it when I play Wii Tennis, but I like to use it so it doesn't get in the way. (that's what she said? haha)

i only wear it if i have to. such as wii tennis (which i love!) but mariokart and animal crossing is pointless to wear the strap.

i used to when i first got it, then i got lazy and just stopped. plus, the games i mostly play (brawl, guitar hero) don't need the strap since you dont swing the wiimote.
