Third-party accessory developer
Mad Catz has announced a non-exclusive agreement with Nintendo to create and market licensed accessories for the Wii, DS and DSi which include the "select use of Nintendo's intellectual property." According to a press release, the new Mad Catz line will include cameos from Nintendo's beloved stable of characters, such as Donkey Kong, Zelda, Link, Mario, Luigi, Wario, Yoshi, Bowser, Toad, Princess Peach and
Metroid's Samus Aran. No further details on the upcoming products are available, but we're currently preparing a petition for a Philips takeover of Mad Catz and a
CD-i revival. We're kidding; that would signify the end of times.

My god... the CD-i... what an abortion that thing was. Pretty cool though that Mad Catz got the deal. I could see some cool things coming out.

Mad Catz's products from the early 90s were FAR more of a rippoff than the phillips cdi and it's faux nintendo games.
And that's saying a lot.

Calling it now- a Wii remote in the shape of Samus' arm cannon.
