4.0 out of 5 stars
Good for small trips..., 15 Jan 2007
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
One of the few bags available so far, this is a "messenger" bag which is basically smaller than most standard laptop bags...
The design is nice enough, even equipped with reflective squares on the main straps on the front of the bag so people can see even at night that you have a Nintendo Wii...
The logo and the colours are as in the preview pictures so no need to talk about them... there is also a shoulder strap provided which has plastic hooks and no shoulder padding, so I'd advise you not to put other things in the bag which may be heavier than the intended contents as it may be a little uncomfortable or even snap if pulled...
Generally you can fit the Wii console, power supply and AV cable in the main section, the sensor bar has a small pocket to protect it and then if you're careful you can get up to two Wiimotes in the main section as well before things get tight...
Fitting a DVD box in as well for a Wii game may be tricky by the time you've put everything else in, so maybe using a small protective sleeve around the disc instead would free up some space...
Then of course there are two pockets on either side of the bag which I can only see being used for nunchuck controllers (one in each) or maybe the AV cable if you're only taking one Wiimote with you... [In theory you could put the Wiimotes on the outside sections, but then they would stick out and if you're not careful possibly fall out...]
So in summary this is ideal if you're a solo player who wants a small easy bag to hold your Wii console, power supply, AV cable, sensor bar, one Wiimote, one Nunchuck and one or two games, however if you're looking to put more than that in it then you'll probably struggle to fit it all in regardless of what you try...

Excellent for 1P/2P, 28 Mar 2007
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice lot of padding but a bit cramped, 30 Jun 2007
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
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.
