North America gets Pokémon themed peripherals


Casewraps Signs Multi-year Pokémon Deal


Edmonton, Alberta, Canada -- March 31st 2005 -- Casewraps Technology Inc (also known as “Casewraps™” ) is pleased to make the following announcement:


In accordance with a licensing agreement signed on March 8th 2005, Casewraps has become a licensee of Pokémon® characters for the purpose of appearing on wraps, a graphical adhesive decal, for Nintendo videogame systems. The current multi-year agreement with 4Kids Entertainment, Nintendo and Pokémon USA, Inc. allows Casewraps to supply the North American market with Pokémon themed peripherals. “We are excited to partner with such powerful brand names as Nintendo and Pokémon to introduce the first of many licensed Casewrap products” comments Tom Billington, president.


Casewrap products give owners the ability to add to their game systems a personalized new look. Wraps will be made available starting in May 2005 for current systems such as Nintendo’s GameCube®, Game Boy® Advance SP, and the recently launched Nintendo DS™. Consumers will be able to collect, trade, and show off their Pokémon characters as new wraps become available.

TOO MUCH PIKACHU!


What is a Casewrap?


A Casewrap is a high resolution graphical vinyl that is applied (or wrapped) to a variety of items, ranging from computer cases, to game systems and mp3 players. These wraps have properties that create an easy install, removal and provide a timeless professional new look. Wraps range as simple as a panel sheet one can apply to a vast range of items, to complex precut designs to accommodate shapes such as buttons, vents, keys, in today’s peripherals. Used to personalize individuals’ items or as part of a full roll out business branding solution, wraps can be designed to find a solution to previously unavailable, expensive or timely avenues.

That actually looks pretty nifty. And it almost looks like Pikachu is standing in front of a wall of fire... a fire he started...

Pikachu's a pyromaniac! That explains everything!

Maybe I'm so insecure that despite being a Pokémaniac, I wouldn't want to make it so plainly obvious on my console or handheld.

Though at the same time, this intrigues me.  I see this as a way to get the whole "custom skin" thing more popular.  Custom skins have typically only been sold on the Internet, as far as I've seen, which isn't hard to buy from, it's just that like anything else on the Internet, you pretty much have to know what you're looking for to be exposed to it.  It would be neat to see these and more in a video game store.
