Wii U Accesories are coming, brace yourself
It’s time for a new console and you know what that means, new accessories to store, protect and jazz up your newest purchase. Japanese accessory makers and local company Blue Tongue have announced their first wave of accessories.
Blue Toungue’s will be available in most stores locally like they are already but you’ll likely have to import from Play-Asia or similar to get your hands on Japanese accessories. Just remember Japan gets the Wii U even later then us, so you might be waiting a little while for them.
So what kind of things can you buy then for your shiny new Wii U, Blue Tongue has a big batch of cases, and protectors for the Wii U GamePad itself. There’s even a licensed Mario one as well.

As for Japanese accessory makers such as Hori and Keys Factory they have a number, and that’s a big number of accessories coming. Lots of screen protectors, lots of cleaning cloths and even more silicon gloves and cases for the Wii U.
They do realise that the Wii U is not a portable, don’t they?
I’m sure that they also realise that there a lot of stupid people out there that would buy this sort of superfluous junk. 😉
Some people also like to put their expensive gadgets inside cases to protect them when they’re not in use 😉
I take good care of my things thankyouverymuch. The drawer will do me just fine. =P
Of course, these sorts of accessories may come in handy for those who take their Wii Remotes (and eventually their Gamepads) over to a friends place if their friend doesn’t have enough controllers to go around though.
