Nintendo has no plans for black Wii in US

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.

I want a black one now!!!
Cody @ Jul 16th 2009 2:01PM
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.
Vidikron @ Jul 16th 2009 2:09PM
I certainly wouldn't bother changing systems either, but I would like to pickup a black Wiimote though.
Leo161 @ Jul 16th 2009 2:18PM
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

That's what she said...
edes @ Jul 16th 2009 2:21PM
I also want one, it seems we can only get a black wii by modding...
Anthology @ Jul 16th 2009 2:28PM
Just put your shit on an SD card...
Roto13 @ Jul 16th 2009 6:50PM
^^ Ever heard of licenses?
MLS @ Jul 16th 2009 1:52PM
Time for a Wii boycott!

welcome to 2008.
i.c. weiner @ Jul 16th 2009 2:32PM
don't you mean a wiicott?
MLS @ Jul 16th 2009 2:38PM
Yes, I do. Let me wiiphrase that.
Stix Remix @ Jul 16th 2009 2:42PM
Wiidiculous.
Crazy-008 @ Jul 16th 2009 2:47PM
Can't Wii all just get along?

Wii need to stop with the puns
Blank-Mage @ Jul 16th 2009 7:59PM
Why should wii?
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 16th 2009 1:52PM
Motherfuckers....
Jon D @ Jul 16th 2009 2:09PM
this.
-Vexx- @ Jul 16th 2009 2:50PM
Again I agree with Storm
devilsei @ Jul 16th 2009 2:50PM
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.

BigD145 @ Jul 16th 2009 3:20PM
As is Sony and Microsoft. They all make region exclusive colors for things.
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 16th 2009 3:26PM
Umm, I'm confused.
Jawmunchers, did the powers that be edit your post or do you work for Joystiq and are warning me?
Vidikron @ Jul 16th 2009 4:05PM
I'm pretty sure he said something he should not have. Joystiq typically edits the offending post directly. You should be in the clear.
Derick @ Jul 16th 2009 5:25PM
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.
Agreed With Storm.
acefondu @ Jul 16th 2009 1:53PM
I won't shell out for a black Wii since I have a Wii already, but I still want a Blue controller like the ones they showed before the Wii came out!
*sigh* Only the N64 had the best customizable controller color options....
Akuma FTW @ Jul 16th 2009 1:55PM
The N64 standard controllers were horrid IMO, I had a black 3rd party controller that owned though. Looked more like a playstation controller with an analog
uncle jesse @ Jul 16th 2009 3:19PM
Wah?! You hated the N64 controller?
COME ON!
Biff_McFresh @ Jul 16th 2009 3:52PM
have mercy!
mv209 @ Jul 16th 2009 4:41PM
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.

President Obama hates your face Nintendo.
ilovethewaggle @ Jul 16th 2009 3:03PM
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.
Captain Planet @ Jul 16th 2009 3:21PM
You're an idiot.
ilovethewaggle @ Jul 16th 2009 3:37PM
I may be an idiot but atleast I don't run around in my underwear trying to save the world with a bunch of kids...you pedofile.
baby sea tuna @ Jul 16th 2009 3:40PM
Or a Libertarian. Either way...
Captain Planet @ Jul 17th 2009 11:11AM
First of all, I don't run, I fly.
And secondly, all those kids signed waivers.
Look At This Suit @ Jul 16th 2009 1:57PM
Thank God that Nintendo has no plans to insert their black Wii into us.
...Oh, wait. I misunderstood.
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 16th 2009 2:00PM
You just had to be the one to do it, didn't you?
Look At This Suit @ Jul 16th 2009 2:02PM
Someone has to be that guy. I'll take the hit, it's okay.
Crazy-008 @ Jul 16th 2009 2:16PM
I salute your unselfish act Look... and in your memory I pwn myself saying hesitantly...."Once you go black you never go back..."
aj @ Jul 16th 2009 1:59PM
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
DBuck_Eye @ Jul 16th 2009 1:59PM
Why is it everyone wants a white PS3 but a black Wii?
Vidikron @ Jul 16th 2009 2:11PM
I think many people always want the new color just because its different. Personally, I'd always rather have a black system.
Crazy-008 @ Jul 16th 2009 2:17PM
In the immortal words of Wesley Snipes.... Always bet black.
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 16th 2009 2:18PM
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.
Ravnos @ Jul 16th 2009 2:30PM
Racism.
WREturns @ Jul 16th 2009 2:48PM
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.
Maverick Saturn (Igor) @ Jul 16th 2009 2:00PM
Whats with all the racism recently? First white ride, now no black wii, lmao
I want a black wii, it will match with my PS3, they can be siblings :D or lovers......or sibling lovers.
*Hides*
nukee @ Jul 16th 2009 2:03PM
Holy shit. Color me surprised!
