Serial # is required. Once you have entered the serial # and hit the submit button it will tell you if you qualify or not. I did not and I got my Wii back in Oct. of 2008. Darn.
Nintendo is now including the Wii Remote Jacket for the Wii Remotes in all new hardware being shipped. For Wii owners who purchased their systems prior to this addition, we are offering to send free Wii Remote Jackets for their existing Wii Remote.
