I’ve been emailed a lot with questions similar to this one that appeared on the LibGaming google group.
I do have the question of whether there are legalities of using
Nintendo images/wallpaper images (located throughout their website) for our first upcoming gaming event?
Eli Neiburger chimes in with a great response:
You are in the clear. I was told by GolinHarris, Nintendo’s Marketing Firm, that using their Intellectual Property in promotional materials for a free library event is allowed and legal. You are promoting their products. They love that. =) There is no legal issue here. This is allowed, and even encouraged, by the rightsholders. Let me know if you have any other questions about this!

You may want those gaming folks know that they can create Wii Avitars at http://www.miieditor.com/ Right now you cannot import them to your Wii, but it might happen one day. And it would be a great exercise or thing to have running while others are gaming.
cool!
