Infendo Forum member Basil gives us the inside scoop on what we can expect to see at Target in a few weeks.
Items include a Wii Sling Bag, Large Home Organizer Kit, Small Home Organizer Kit, Glove Kit: Mario Colors, Glove Kit: Zelda Colors, Wii Metal Tin w/ Magnets, Wii Dog Tags & Pin Set. There will also be Wii Target gift cards and Virtual Console Points cards on the display. Most of these products will retail for $24.99.
I’m definitely going for the Zelda-themed Gloves. What are you going to pick up?
I like the idea of the mario and zelda gloves..show your obsession even more :D….
I don't think those are the final prices. Because $25 for a dogtag? Yeah right. Not really worth it in my opinion.
Are these Nintendo manufactured accessories? I wish/hope Nintendo wouldn't/doesn't oversaturate the market with accessories. Apple doesn't. If they do, I think they risk cheapening the Wii brand, which is already on its way to iPod status.
Kokernutz, these are all Nintendo licensed products.I think I'll be picking up a glove, but I 'm not sure whether it will have a character on it. I think it'll just be a color. I'm not fond of having skins with characters on them.
The skins do not have characters on them. They have one logo.The Mario one comes in Red and has the M. The Zelda one comes in green and has the Triforce on it.
With 7,000+ stores across the US, Target have huge respect as a retailer. Very mainstream but it will all go towards Wii FTW!Don't care much for these sort of doo-dads, but whatever floats your boat…

If Nintendo got 70% of the console market my wife may have to sue Taco Bell for me choking to death on a crunch wrap supreme But then again…what percentage does DS have on the hand held gaming market???Anyone know???Anyway, time to tear another hot sauce packet open.Mmmmmm.Frisby
My local Super Target has had most of these items for sale for about a month now, I have already purchased the dog tag and pin set several weeks ago.
What a incredible preparation. I will pick up those glove that I need it. Cheers!
