In anticipation of the imminent arrival of Nintendo's new console, an online retailer has begun listing some intriguing peripherals for Wii.
The delights on offer include the Wii Controller Glove ($10, or roughly £5), Wii Storage & Protection 1.0GB Kit ($70, or £37), and the Wii Sling Bag ($30, or £16).
Other interesting accessories on US retailer Gamestop's websiteinclude Wii SD memory cards for $40 (approx £21) and Donkey Kong, Zelda and Mario 'ICON' skins for $20 (approx £10). The release date for these items is 1 November.
Our best guess for the perfect use of a Wii Controller Glove would be sweat-inducing physical fighting games, but the ICON skins have us pretty stumped. Surely no one would shell out a tenner just to have Mario's mustache-tastic face on their Wii user interface, when Microsoft's Marketplace Themes are only around £1.70 each? Well, actually, maybe they would.
