In other Wii news, a list of accessories has sprouted up on EB Games' website. Everything from travel bags to SD cards have made there way onto the retailer's shopping list, each with a release date of November 1, 2006. Usually, if the release date's listed as the first of a month, it's a guess at best. If you're curious to see what goodies are already being slapped together (game wallets! A controller glove!), head over toEB Games for a peek.

Nintendo's got a big day planned for next Thursday, so be ready to head back for the absolute latest news on this year's only global hardware launch.
