 Poorly designed, and disappointing for a Nintendo endorsed product... April 22, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have to say, as an extremely loyal Nintendo supporter (see my review for the Wii Console and Gamecube) it breaks my heart to say that I was just a little disappointed with this Bag...
Firstly, however noble of those reviewers who say that there is 'plenty' of room to store all the stuff in this bag for the Wii, this is not realistic - come on now! Okay, so with much difficulty, and some extra thought and time, perhaps enough for a 'solo' player's needs - that is; Wii Console, Sensor Bar, one Nunchuck, Controller and cables (tightly) - but honestly, nothing else... If anyone really can fit any more than this in the bag, I'd like to see a demonstration please!
What I'm more disappointed about, is the fact that this is endorsed by Nintendo who so far have NEVER failed to please me with absolutely anything that they have put their signature to - until now that is! This bag is SO small... I also think that when people are complaining about this design, they are naturally comparing this console bag to those designed for previous consoles that Nintendo have released which really do have ample room for both essentials and even extras! Once all the essentials are in this bag (only enough for solo by the way - and no games) then the bag 'looks' and certainly 'feels' very stretched to its limit and over-packed, and this does not look good... This is what I would have expected from a bag that was not endorsed by Nintendo, or specifically designed for the Wii Console. Certainly a modification to this design is much needed... If this had not been endorsed by Nintendo, then I most certainly would have got rid of it and purchased a different bag without hesitation.
Extremely disappointed...
This bag is great! October 31, 2007

I bought this bag with some trepidation given the number of other reviewers who complained about how small it was. However, we needed a bag because we often move our Wii from one house to another. I decided on this bag because of the "sensor bar pocket" feature, which seemed like an absolute essential.
The bag is fine - good even. I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about. There was no problem whatsoever in getting, Wii, all cables, sensor bar, two controllers and two nunchuks into this bag which is then an enormously convenient size (not too big) to drop easily into the car for transportation. There is also a significant amount of padding etc to protect the Wii and stuff from the possibility of damage in transit. I honestly wonder what the other reviewers were on about. I suspect they had hoped for a bag which would take the games, also, which this one definitely isn't designed to do. (But then, how could you design a bag to carry wii and a completely indeterminate number of games).
If you want to move your Wii around - buy this bag!
 Nice lot of padding but a bit cramped June 30, 2007

I bought this product because it was endorsed by Nintendo.
I bought the Wii for 2 persons and have purchased a few accessories to go with it e.g. golf add on, tennis racket add on and a steering wheel.
When I got it home I was impressed at the zipped storage compartment for the senso bar - intelligent and important given its sensitivity. However, I found that as soon as you put the console in the main compartment there is little room for anything else.
After some careful planning and 5 minutes of scratching your head, it's possible to get the console, power cables, AV cables, steering wheel, 2 remotes and 2 nunchucks in the main compartment. I did have to lengthen the straps on the clips to close the bag though.
I have taken the games cd's out of their boxes and placed them in a 10 cd zipped folder which fits nicely in the front compartment.
The golf add on and the tennis racket add on have gone into the 2 side elasticated webbing pouches on the exterior of the bag. Not a good idea for travelling as they tend to catch on things and it's not water proof.
As previously mentioned on another review, the shoulder strap doesnt have any padding so it can become very uncomfortable when travelling due to the weight you're carrying.
I would recommend this product for home storage, and for no more than 2 persons or 1 person with accessories.
Despite what others have said... May 24, 2007

I went ahead and bought this and have just had chance to try it out and put it into action. The bag is much smaller than it looks in the image and is actually little bigger than the Wii itself. Despite what others have said, you can fit four controllers and four nunchuks in this bag without much hassle - Just make sure you have protective silicone covers on them so they don't rub against each other and cause scratches!
Unlike other bags designed for the Wii, this one has a specific zip up, padded pouch for the fragile sensor bar and places for the PSU and wiimotes (and nunchuks!). The bag also includes some other zip up pouches for bits and bobs.
Excellent for 1P/2P March 28, 2007

I've only got two Wiimotes and Nunchuks, and I have to say that I also thought that the bag was a little too small to put everything in. But I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. Apart from the DVD Case area, everything was fitting where it was supposed to go. Wii in the back division, sensor bar in the top pocket, and the cables in the next one. I had to put the transformer box on it's side (vertical). I got two Wiimotes in the same pocket in the elasticated straps, and the Nunchuks in the side pockets.
The games, however, I recommend that you use the absolute front pocket (the thin one), and use transparent slip cases/thin jewel cases. Worth every penny.
