Nintendo has stated it has no plans to release other colors of Wii in the US -- including the sleek black Wii launching in Japan on August 1. A Nintendo rep informed GameDaily of the devastating news, which we, of course, will take with a brick of salt. We know Nintendo to be a lie factory about its products, so we'll wait and see.
Once -- if -- Wii sales ever drop off, we expect a freakin' deluge of Wii colors that'll make a gay Pride parade look like a drab, colorless scene out of Killzone 2.
[Thanks, Ash!]

At this point in its lifecycle, I wouldn't pick one up.
Plus, imagine the hell that would ensue attempting to transfer all VC/WiiWare shit, if that is indeed even possible.

Haha, yeah good luck!
Before I sold my Wii it took me 3+ hours just to get everything OFF
TRANSFERRING it would be hell!
And if you have any more than like 10 Miis (who doesn't) It becomes extremely fun transferring them from controller to controller to console to controller =0

Muthafuckahs is right!
I have a Black PS3 (no surprise there really)
Black 360 Elite (its a sexeh beast, no argument there)
But I can't have a black wii? What's with the colorist eh Nintendo of America? What has the color done to you?!
... oooooh wait I get it! I understand now. While grime that eventually comes from use won't show on black, dust does. Though dust isn't a worry if you play it a lot.
The white Wii's don't need to worry about dust because of the color, OR the grime because no one really plays them after buying them!!!
Okay I see...
still though, gimme a black one damnit, maybe then I'll buy it.

Umm, I'm confused.
Jawmunchers, did the powers that be edit your post or do you work for Joystiq and are warning me?

I was planning on repurchasing a Wii and the games that I liked. Sold it a year or so back because I realized I didnt play it.

The N64 may have had good controller options, but that controller was the ugly weird looking. Even though that controller is freakin' huge, It is uncomfortable for me to hold because my hands are big.

Actually, it's Obama's fault. He's not doing enough to promote better race relations and equality. He's too busy building relationships with investors from China and selling the future of Amerika.

I see a red Wii and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the Miis walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

In the immortal words of Wesley Snipes.... Always bet black.

But just look at it Vid. For me, the simple change in color makes the Wii look like it belongs in the same league as the 360 and PS3. Nevermind the sales and what-not. But the white system, IMO, looks like a toy...nothing more.

I just want all of my systems to be the same color. My Wii is between the 360 and the PS3 which works the best aesthetically but it would be better if I had a black 360 or a white PS3 or if they were all the same color. And black is sexy.
