I don't think the controller will come with any protection. Most of the time it'll just be held like any other console's controller. It might have a strap to prevent you from dropping it in games that use motion controls, but I think that would be it. I'm sure that there will be plenty of screen protectors and cases available from third parties though.

The 3DS is a handheld, you don't need a strap for it. All the other DS's didn't use a strap.

If I remember correctly, they did sell a strap with the Mario Kart logo when Mario Kart DS came out.

Proof please.

Anyways, all you have to do is look at a PS3 controller. Does it have any protection? No.

Expect the same.

I doubt there will be a jacket but we may see a wrist strap for some of the more motion based games.

The Wii U should come with Zelda brand Magnetic Gloves: No longer do you need to worry about dropping the controller, getting it dirty or getting it knock out of your hands.

Trophy Cards are classy too! LOLZIGZAGOON

So long as they give me the divine power of Looking Cool. Because we all know Coolness is the deciding factor of Gloves.

You can put the strap of one of the Wii Remotes on your 3DS. One of my friends did that...

Anyways, back on topic:

I don't think the controller needs any protection.

Have you ever seen someone drop a tablet by accident, or it sliding out of their slightly sweaty hands. No? Didn't think so...

That's a terrible argument because a tablet slipping out of your hands is actually plausible and the Wii U isn't a bloody tablet.

The Wii U remote is BIG. There is no way in hell you're gonna drop it by accident and concerns about motion controls are obsolete because there will be no game in which you're holding a Wii U controller loosely with one hand and waving it like a flag.
