I use a diaper bag instead

After reading all the reviews, I was wary about the Wii Messenger Bag being too small. I looked at the Wii Messenger Bag in the store, and my first impression of it was that it looked too small to fit all the gear. I ended up buying a a diaper bag instead (an Eddie Bauer Children's Accessories Coordinate Diaper Bag 15.75"W x 13"H x 6.25"D), which was only a few bucks more than the Wii Messenger Bag, and I'm very pleased with my choice. The diaper bag has two interior pockets that are ideal for storing Wiimotes, and the small changing pad with velcro fasteners is ideal for padding the console and storing in the main compartment. The bag is large enough to hold everything: console, base, power cords, sensor bar, 2 Wiimotes, 2 Nunchuk controllers, games, etc. You can easily store a charging station or extra batteries. The bag has exterior pockets on all four sides for additional storage.

The diaper bag is larger than the Wii Messenger Bag, but not too large. I can't imagine cramming  more

Wii bags get the message accross

While using this bag for transportation across the country my wii stayed safe and secure. This bag fit everything it claims and more, yes this does come with a snug fit but if you notice the size of the bag and what you are expecting to fit into it, it exceeds expectations. Yeah, I would of like it to be a little bigger but then again it fit my wii with 3 wii-motes and 3 nunchucks, room for extra batteries, the battery charger and all cords with room for 2 full size game cases. I would recommend purchasing an extra hard case holder for my games since the games are $50 a piece and could somehow get loose from their case then scratched plus then you can have the room to fit all other wii accessories in the bag. So if you are a wii fan looking for something compact to transport your gear I highly recommend the Wii messenger bag.

Not what I hoped

While the Wii is still hard to find, I bring mine over to play with friends on a pretty regular basis and hoped this would be perfect. But I have an easier time using a generic bag made for a laptop.

For a bag that is specifically designed to easily & conveniently transport the Wii, this was poorly designed. Had it been just a little bit larger with a few extra pockets for a second Remote + Nunchuk and games, I would easily rate this a 4 or 5*. But it isn't, so I can't.

UPSIDE -- It DOES fit most things if you're willing to work at it and toss a lot in the main compartment with the console, but I can do that in most laptop bags. And the padding is nice.

DOWNSIDE -- I would have preferred 2 additional pockets for Controllers/Nunchuks, a pocket or wallet-style slots for a handful of game disks, and maybe a dedicated place for the sensor bar.

Look for a better bag or settle for using a generic tote bag you already have because this design doesn't offer much. I missed opportunit  more

way too small

first of all the bag is only a little bit bigger than the wii itself. second, there is no room for the AV cords or games. to get the sensor bar into the case is hard to do without the bar snapping. the remotes buttons get pressed constantly while in the bag and there is no room for the cord on the nunchuck. there is also no place to put the console stand or sensor bar stand. there is a pocket for games but to get the AV cords in this pocket must be used. there are mesh pockets on the sides of the bag but the only thing that fits in these are the wii remote and nunchuck. this would be a good thing if the wii remote fit snugly in the mesh pocket and buttons werent getting pressed while in it. but to fit the AC adapter in the bag, the wii remote and nunchuck must be put in these mesh pockets.

Seems small at first glance

This Carry Case seems small, and I was concerned that it would not hold everything, but I was suprised. I carry the Wii, Sensor Bar, 4 Wii Remotes (in the interior with the Wii), 2 Nunchucks (on the 2 side mess pockets, the power adapter (the front pocket), and the video cable (the front pocket).

Pros
This case holds everything so secure, unlike the G-Pak Carrying Case.
There is enough cushion to not have to worry about damage to your parts
Small so it fits nicely in small areas, like under the seat on a plane.

Cons
the Wiimotes buttons can be pressed in the case, so I have turn around one of the 2 batteries
No real room for any games... I did stick 3 games in cases in inside area near the Wii but things were tight. If you got a small CD wallet (no cases), then you would be good.

The messenger bag is too small.

The messenger bag is way too small. All I could get in the bag was the wii, two nunchuks, connections and the IR bar (which I thought would break if I forced it in). The remotes I had to put in the side pouches after I took out the batteries. I could not fit any games in it. I took it back to where I purchased it. Nintendo needs to revisit the carrying case department!

It's ok

It's made pretty well for what the bag says it holds (one Wii remote, one classic controller, a nunchuck, the system, IR bar, power block and the a/v cables). Try to put more in, and it gets a little tougher to do it easily. I use it to pack away 3 Wii remotes, two nunchucks and a classic controller. It's a tight fit and sometimes the Wii remotes have buttons pressed so the batteries drain if there in the bag too long (there's probably a better way to pack up all that stuff).

The elastic banded mesh pockets on the side come in handy (holds one of my remotes as well as some batteries).

The picture that is on the box didn't show the power block in the correct spot, which was annoying, but meh. Overall the product itself is cool if you're not bringing too much with you.
