Great Nintendo Accessories Are Not Just For Your Game Systems
Great Accessories and Clothing -- Nintendo Style
Show Off Your Style and Have Some Fun!
You'll need more stuff....
Those 4 words represented the understatement of the year for me!
Flash forward a week later...I am looking around the store, thinking "Oh, I will just pick up two extra remote controllers." The system comes with one already. That way my three kids can all play at the same time. Well, apparently a nunchuk controller which plugs right into the Wii remote is also a "must-have" according to players. Doesn't come with one though. Soooo, I am looking around the store and am bombarded with an array of accessories, controllers, and games. I start to get dizzy as I look at one product after another. Hmmmm, looks like this school teacher needs to do her homework! So, I got online and did a little research. I found that there is a whole slew of items out there to go with all the Nintendo game systems.
Silicone Skins(example picture above)
These sort of rubbery little jackets are durable and form-fitting and slide right over your Wii remotes (called Wiimotes) and Nunchuk controllers. They also make them for the Classic Wii controllers AND for your Wii console, too! They come in many different colors and designs, and some even glow in the dark. I bought a tie-dye print one that I didn't realize would glow in the dark until I noticed my bag was glowing! These skins protect the controllers from scratches, dents, dirty fingerprints, damage from dropping, and they have the added benefit of improving your grip on the controllers to prevent them from dropping or flying out of your hands during play. Apparently it is quite easy to lose control during Wii gaming action. The strap for the Wiimote is also helpful in this regard. And speaking of wrist straps....
Wrist Straps
The Wiimote comes with a wrist strap included. However, you can upgrade to a nice leather strap for just 3 bucks. They come in different colors.
Wireless Internet Adapters
If you have a wireless internet connection, your Wii system will connect to the internet. If you have an internet provider but no wireless modem or router, you can get adapters so that your Wii can connect to the internet.
Hard Shell Cases for Wiimotes
These are similar to the Silicone Skins except they are hard and snap on. They are easy to remove and are washable. They, too, come in many colors and like their silicone counterparts come with a case for the nunchuk controller.
Cases for DS and DS Lite
These come in a wide variety of colors and materials. Some have screen protectors built into them, and several have compartments for storing and carrying your DS games.
Clothing and Jewelry
Oh yes, don't let your game systems be the only ones sporting great fashion. Make a statement with a cool graphic t-shirt or a necklace. I had no idea there were so many wearable Nintendo items available. That necklace in the picture at the top of this article is the symbol for the Triforce from the Legend of Zelda games. I think it's pretty and could be worn by both boys and girls. My girls saw it and are now drooling over it. Here are a few other examples of items available:
Nintendo Belt Buckle
Guitar Hero T-Shirt
Mario Bros. Plumbing Co. T-Shirt
Good vs. Evil Boxer Shorts For Men
Hats, underwear, pins, wallets, belts, pajamas, and t-shirts galore. There is so, so, so, much more...waaaaay too much to list here! See what cool Nintendo apparel Amazon has to offer at Toys -and-Games4All.com.
