Your choice of spacing (probably for dramatic effect) confuses me. Instead of coming across as being incredulous, you just sound like a whiny moron.









Seriously.

That's not the best shade of pink, at all, at least in my opinion. Though I suppose it'll look different in person. The DS Lite colors were much better, though I suppose it doesn't matter to me since if I got a replacement for my electric blue phat...it would be a DS Lite.

It's Kotaku Pink.

Be nice if we got the Enamel Navy and Kotaku Green ones here, too.

I won't touch anything with a Kotaku colour scheme with an 11-foot pole.

Black is, if anything, Goth not emo. But yeah, silly stereotyping is silly.

I want the kingdom hearts DSi, or even better a World Ends With You DSi so I don't have to buy the WEWY DS Lite for $230.

It took them 3 years to slow down on Wiimote sales, I suppose.

They were waiting, is all.

You'd have to hate everything and have crappy opinions that aren't very defensible about everything to come off that way, so no worries on your end, Sly.

Black controllers but no black console is remarkably ridiculous however. Just asinine. It's easy money for N, so I don't get why they don't do it.

The Sanyo Eneloop is the only one licensed by Nintendo... is a conductive charger, but I think is Japan only, I'm not sure:

But Energizer just released a licensed conductive charger too.

i was checking that out before. does it come with a battery cover? i was satisfied with the nyko charger i had before. that was before they packed their own sleeves and i want a matching back cover.

Yeah:

"The Energizer 2x Induction Charge Station includes a charging station, 2 rechargeable battery packs, 2 covers and 1 UL-approved AC power cord. You can charge the Wii Remotes with or without the silicone sleeve."

Plus, it's on sale.

I'm not the type to buy some new color console/controller when I already own one, but these are pretty cool. If I didn't already own a Wii and enough controllers I would buy the black ones, they look pretty neat. Would've preferred a elite/black 360 but too late :P Were they to offer a slim white PS3 at this point I'd likely pick that one, solely for the sake of continuity.

That's an odd shade of pink/magenta or whatever it is, though...

If they went through all the trouble of giving us a black wii-mote, can't they just finish the job and give us our black wii already?

It's like giving me a pair of Pink Floyd converse but only getting one shoe!

It's like they're giving you one black shoe lace and black socks, expecting you to buy the other lace from them separately. All this while knowing you only own a pair of white shoes that don't match the black laces they are selling you!

The Black Wiimote looks awesome. Although I think I might just settle for the black nunchuck because for some reason my current nunchuk's connector wire has decided to turn blue on me.(/impulse buy both)

Also...was the baby blue not girly enough, Nintendo? Where's the NA version of Japan's red DSi. I must have it so my red handheld cycle can continue!(Groudon GBASP -> Hot Rod Red DS Phat -> ...)

Finally a DSi color that I like, I was never a fan of the non-shiny black one. As for pink... its just as bleh as the bright-blue.

I really hope they get around to releasing the black wii sometime.

Man, I hope they release a cobalt blue DSi. I was just telling a friend that I was going to buy a new DS next year, so hopefully they'll have that color by then. If not, I guess I can settle for black.

I didn't even know that a Cobalt/Metallic Blue DSi was available in Japan. It looks awesome and I would definitely buy it if it came to the US.
