"The Black bundle is the first new color for the Wii Remote..."

Black's not a color.

that's right, I had to be _that_ guy.

but honestly, it's about damn time they came out with other colors. I mean the 360's had different colors for their controllers for ages, and computers have had different colors since the internet stone-age.

Maybe now they'll slap a $50 video card in the thing so that my wii-person (wiivatar?) will stop looking like Bald Bull from Mike tyson's Punch Out.

Dude... I know a guy who defines his favorite color as "clear" in a completely serious way. Black is a fucking color.

Technically, black is not a colour. It's a lack of colour and/or light.

I guess since the Nunchuck and Wiimote are so small they made it bye border control and the "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" ogre.

Nintendo read this: I still do not own a Wii but, I DO want one! All my systems are black and white looks nice on the outside of my house. You have now officially given me a reason to buy a controller and stare at it along with the wii titles on my shelf, waiting for a BLACK SYSTEM TO PLAY THEM ON!

PASS THE GREY POUPON ALREADY!!!

What?! no black wii system? just controllers? Hopefully this will mean we will eventually get the black wii just not this year.

I like the black Wii gear, but WTF is up with the DSi color selections? White... it's boring and should have been there at launch, but better late then never. But pink? Fuck off with that. How about red or dark blue like over in Japan? Why are we stuck with black, white, and then two shitty colors?

Hey Nintendo... remember what colors looked like back in 1996? They should still look like that today.

Of course, you can already buy the said acessories without waiting for the US launch

Probably means that the black Wii itself is imminent, they're just waiting for a more appropriate venue to announce it (October Media Summit!)

Black... that's nice... but where is the price drop?

My wife and I are considering getting a Wii for our oldest son for chistmas this year, but knowing you can get a much better console, with the Xbox 360 of PS3 Slim for 20$ more makes me sick.

Where is the Wii 50$ to 100$ price drop ? I guess, it won't happen until next year when the numbers for this holiday comes up and they loose ground to the other consoles...

Why does this black Wiimote still have a condom? Does that mean that the motion plus is still not integrated to the rest of the wiimote?

What a way to push their trash on to the consumers. Getting rid of their old wiimotes by repainting it.

I was impatient and imported the Black Wiimote. Don't need the nunchuk since I use the wireless Kama. The remote is very nice and sleek and the black condom looks good on it. The top half is shiny and the bottom part is matte.

Honestly, I was going to get a black DSi, then I was going to hold out for a potential Zelda DSi bundle, but the white.... just looks so 'right', like that's how the system is supposed to be.

I don't know, maybe I'll wait a little longer for a Zelda announcement.

I like that shade of pink more than my current pink DS Lite shade, but I wont be buying a DSi when I have a lite anyways already.

I doubt I'll buy any new remotes unless Nintendo makes them with Motion-plus so the buttons remain close to the bottom so you can still use it for VC games without have to remove the attachment.
