Black Wiimotes, but no Wii?

It seems Nintendo intends to give NA the black controllers which are already out in Japan, however they have said nothing about the console it's self.

I'm looking forward to this, with 3 controllers now I think a black set would be just what I need to round things off. It also looks like I'm going to have to either get my Wii fixed or a new one, black console would be awesome...

A black Wii Remote? Does it do anything special?

I would still buy it anyways, it would look good with the TV remote and the Xbox/PS3 controllers.

Wasn't the wii originally black back when it was called the Revolution?

^ Yup

I would buy one, but I have 4 controllers already, so unless one of them breaks...

What you talkin' 'bout?


The only thing that sucks is that anyone who wanted a Wii probably already has a white one, and I know I'm not wasting my money to get a second one just because it's color is different.

The black console is Japanese or prototype. As Hombre said, it was originaly black. They were going to have black or white available at launch, but changed their minds like a month or two before.

They have replacement cases for the wii and controllers on various sites around the web. Once my warrenty runs out, I might get a green one.

My Wii is already black though (I had it switched).

You mean from a private source or Nintendo?

Here's a solution, Grab a bucket and some paint, and just paint it Black instead.
