Title: Wii Accessories Available Soon?
Post by: henmill on October 19, 2006, 04:27:00 PM

While browsing the local Wal-Mart, I noticed a few empty product racks near the rest of the video game accessories.  Upon closer inspection, I found that one label read "Wii memory kit" for ~$48 before tax.  And the neighboring tag was "Wii controller glove" (I think) for ~$9 before tax.  The products where not on the shelves yet, only the tags.  Anybody else have any Wii-related sitings?

 "Wii controller glove"

I wonder what that is? Nice find. I live in the UK, the closest thing to Walmart is probably Tesco, I should take a look when I'm in there next, it would be sweet to come across something like that.

It would be a protective leather (or some other material) case, like for cell phones, PDAs, etc..

You think? I had the image of a glove you put on your hand that has sensors similar to the controller that the console can pick up. Like a controller glove, like the name. I'm probably wrong, but it would be sweet if they actually made that for like tennis games or other games where you use your hands.

Sounds good. Be sure to post it when you get a camera, but I'm sure you will.
