Link to article.

The black Wii console launched in Japan on August 1, complete with black Wiimote, Nunchaku and ****c Controller. If you wanted Wii MotionPlus, that's only in one color: White.

This holiday season, Nintendo is bringing black Wii peripherals to America, but hasn't yet announced a new black console. There's also a new bundle: the black Wii Remote is available with a black version of the Wii MotionPlus accessory included. Pricing is still TBA.

A black Nunchaku rounds out the color coordination. All that is missing is a console.Kotaku

Hmmm... I think my Wiimote is broken... I should buy a new one... >.>

Wow awesome. The white WM+ would look wierd on it though..

Hey I just had a thought, when Zelda Wii comes out, and assuming it's WM+ only, if they bundle the game and the peripheral together, they should bring out a special edition WM+ with the trifforce symbol on it. That'd be pretty nifty. Sorry, off topic.

We need the Black Console. I'm holding off to see if they release it eventually. I really want a black one. :)

I knew they would start bundling M+ with wiimotes. Making the bundle black is a really smart move as it helps consumers identify the bundle.

Nah, I think the sleeve just covers the join. I think it would look better without the sleeve, it loses its glossiness.

Meh, I like my console to look uniform, and since there is no chance I'm getting the black Wii, there is no chance I'm getting the black Wiimote:P

The black one looks really nice, but i already have 3 white ones, and i don't really need a fourth controller.

So no black wiimtoe for me

I prefer the white ones. Black would show dust, dirt spots, and fingerprints more.

This is true. My black DS Lite looked awful before I finally got a DSi.

Of course, actually using the jacket could help prevent a ton of fingerprints.

I'm actually surprised they didn't make a black console from the start, just like they had 2 color options (from the get go) for the GC. Or just make the black one from the get go, especially after how people responded so well to the black one to begin with.

Usually, the color black is the cheapest color to use in manufacturing too, which makes no sense to why they used white. Too bad I already bought a White Wii. I only have 1 Wiimote, so I'll probably pick a few of these up.

This is Ninty's answer to the PS3 Slim and Elite price drop?=p Anyway, I like my controllers to match my console, so I'll pass.

Well you know how people are, if it does the same thing, cost the same, but it looks slightly different, it is therefore automatically better and must be had. A grand current example, a PS3 slim instead of just a price drop.

I'll buy the one of those if it comes with the new Wiii Motion Plus for no extra charge. I really shouldn't have to pay extra for that little attachment...

They should have only kept it white. Now they have (Well don't have to, but should) to make black controllers, black nunchucks, black c1assic controllers, black Wii Motion Plus's, black Wii Wheels, and black everything else!!!

Atleast I'm not forced to buy any of that. I'll stick with all my white stuff.

Why the **** are they planning to release the controllers without the console? Won't it look kinda dumb playing a white Wii with a black remote/nunchuck?

Yeah because no one ever played a console with a controller that was a sifferent color, that is simply unheard of.

Yeah, and some of us used to wear shoes that lit up with every step you take.

When we were 7.

Then we grew up, and wanted our entertainment centers and systems to look nice and tidy;)
