Yes, depending on the game. If I play a game requiring swinging of the wiimote in any way, I wear it. If it doesn't require it like in Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, no.

It depends what game I'm playing. Sometimes the straps does bother me so, sometimes I dont use it, but one time while I was playing wii sports I let go of my wii remote while the strap wasn't on and the wii remote went flying. I was playing bowling and I think I threw the ball too hard. :wtf:

Pretty much the only game I play on the Wii is Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn :foldarms:You don't need the wriststrap for that, but I put it on anyway just cause I can!

I wore my wrist strap when I first got my Wii, but soon found it to be extremely annoying, so I took it off... I just didn't need it, ya know? And it always got in the way...

I do sometimes.Depends on the game and how intense the game play is.Like for Tennis... Def using the strap cause we play Hardcore Tennis.As in we kinda mosh and what not when we do it to try and screw each other up.But it's all fun.

I never use it because the games I play usually don't require me holding it [Guitar Hero, Mario Kart Wii, DDR Hottest Party 2 w/ Hands disabled].

its annoying because between switching batteries, removing the plastic rubber protective sleeve and threading the wrist strap through, well I just can't be bothered with it. If anyone else ever plays with me though I always force them to use it, people seem to get so carried away with the wiimotes, especially with wii sports.

It depends on the game.If I'm playing wii sports where I'm flinging the the thing around, yeah I'll wear it. I mean I have never let go of it by accident, but really it's not that big of a pain and could potentially save me from buying a new tv.However If I'm playing a game that barely uses the motion controls like Super Mario Galaxy, I tend to not wear it.

Any kind of sports game.. it's recommended since it's such a high risk of you to fling it hard and fastI usually wear mine just for the heck of it.. doesn't hurt to be safe

It gets annoying after a little while, but I always wear it. I don't want it flying off ant attacking some poor helpless person or piece of furniture.

I wear it for stuff like wii sports, etc. But when you're playing something like Super Mario Galaxy or Smash Bros. Brawl, it's kind of redundant and a hassle to keep putting on and taking off.
