it will be called the "Wiilite" to compete with the 360 Elite. It also comes with a 120 GB HD...

Damn... This would go so well with my Black PS3 and my Black-ish 360... The white Wii I own really stands out...

Yeah - totally. I think I'll trade in my white Wii for a black one so it matches my PS3.

BTW, what do you mean "BlackISH" 360 - isn't the black 360 totally black?

@ Mike Crazy

This just coming in, Nintendo's money printing machine is broken. It gave them a weird error, stating "Print Overload, Print Overload." Nintendo is expected to buy a new money printing machine in the next few weeks, with their billions in cash from the Wii and DS lines.

Truthbringer's post cracked me up!

The black certainly looks nice. But I like my white.... it reflects some of the sunlight & helps keep my system from overheating.

that was mostly for the ladies, that's why they also released dark grey/black with it.

Just where I work, 8 ladies bought the blue dsi, only one girl owns a PSP, and she says she is going to get the new psp go.

Finally, white consoles always seem to show dirtyness more clearer then any other color plus they start turning yellow after awhile.

Pretty sure dust shows up a lot "better" against a black console. My room is a disgusting den of dust and I can see a lot more of it on my PS3 than my Wii.*

*Not a dumbass "lol gathering dust" comment. I'm better than that.

no its not because its black it just the coating stuff they put on the PS3 collects dust faster.

Although dust is annoying, I'd rather suffer the dust than a yellowish, off-white console.

I heard the black Wii just got outta lockup after having stolen a crate of watermelons, twenty packs of grape Kool-Aid mix, and two buckets of KFC.

Was that enough stereotyping for you?

I heard it's a few inches bigger.

BTW, Nintendo, if you make me wait a year before you bring this to the States, YOU WILL SUFFER.

@Archon - fuck you, I do support the developers I like, I've bought every Square Enix and Atlus game on the DS... (not to mention my 200 plus PS2 games, 50+ PS3, 40+ GC and countless PS1, SNES, N64, and Xbox games I all bought) Its all the mediocre games or games that don't come to the US that I the flashcart for...

NOOOOOOO

I remember back in the Revolution days, they had such awesome colors, but black was the one i was set on:/

Remember those days? Reminds me of this:

Nintendo had us going with the whole mystery thing, didn't they?

its about time, howecome they couldnt just release it in black at the start.....

its because they know people will trade there old wii's and get a black one, like with the ds, color is really important to people for some reason...

Ohoh, nice! I think not owning a Wii yet for me has paid off. I might get this one once it comes over to the States. Hopefully it won't be that long...

Is it just me or could that black Wii do with a red glow instead of the blue? Also, the stand should be of a clear color, so it looks like it's somewhat afloat.

That retro one is damn cool. I like the black too. I wonder how many folks will buy a second wii just for the new color. I'm tempted, but no, I don't think that would be a wise buy.

Black Wii Launches on the day Monster Hunter 3 Comes out and there is a Wii+MH3 Bundle.

Red DSi comes out same day as Dragon Quest 9 launches.

Nintendo plans to dominate hardware sales again rofl

Does it have DVD support? What happened to that Wii? Sure I can check my weight and Pulse but I can't watch a DVD. Didn't they say they'd have that out by end of 07/08?
