Unfortunately, the Wii itself is still only available in white here in the US. What's the deal, Nintendo? Didn't we have about a dozen different GameCube system colors three years after the system came out? And dont even get me started on the Nintendo 64! Anyway, here's the press release.
Nintendo's iconic Wii Remote(tm) and Nunchuk(tm) controllers are getting a new look, just in time for the holidays. Ever since the Wii(tm) system launched in November 2006, the controllers have been available only in white. On Nov. 16, Nintendo introduces new black versions.
The new black Wii Remote controller will be available packaged with a black Wii MotionPlus(tm) accessory, which brings enhanced precision to games. The package will be available at a suggested retail price of $49.99. The black Nunchuk controller will be available separately at a suggested retail price of $19.99.
