Ltd. Ed. Black Wii bundle announced for Europe. Includes WSR w/ M+.

20 October 2009 – The Wii console is about to get an exciting new look as it launches across Europe in sleek black.

The black Wii will be available to buy in UK and Republic of Ireland from 6 November and mainland Europe on 20 November, and will come as a “Limited Edition” bundled with a Wii Remote, Wii MotionPlus and Nunchuk – all in black – as well as the exhilarating new Wii Sports Resort game and the original Wii Sports.

Each of the sports featured in Wii Sports Resort is modelled with incredible accuracy thanks to the Wii MotionPlus accessory, included with this new package.

WHAT THE FRIKKEN FRAK!!! US better be next... and it better be before Giftmas.

Was it also mentioned that this comes out 1 week before NSMB Wii in Europe?
Why didn't they delay it 1 week and/or pack in NSMB instead?

At lease now I don't need an excuse to as why I got a second Wii system....

[BwrJim!]

nah, i want a mario sky blue with a warp pipe coming from the bottom and a lakitu cloud.

[Mop it up]

I didn't expect they'd create a new bundle like that. I'm guess it is going to have a higher price?

North America is in the least need for a sales boost which is why we'll get it last if we get it at all.

I only agree with myself, and the last time I checked their names weren't Reggie.

No, it'll just be Reggie "punting" you while I video tape it all and put out the Second Official NWR sex-tape.

Australia? check

So the Aussie Media Summit came and gone.
Here are the details of the event.

Black Wii March 11th

Ball is in your court NoA. The pick has been set and the lane is wide open. Don't let us down.

[Stogi]

I may need to look up Wii sales, but don't they usually slump during the spring and summer months?

This could be the perfect opportunity to not piss off any of your shareholders Nintendo! (like me )

[Ymeegod]

Does it matter?  I have a funky pink DS and I'm proud of it. 

Two, you can just import one, get the Japanese one with Freeloader software or whatever other homebrewers are doing.  Was thinking about doing this just to import Japanese games (as long as they have subtitles I should be fine).

[ThePerm]

Reggie is of Haitian decent, i could make a joke about earthquakes and Reggie's omnipotent powers, but it would be too soon.

Black Wii hits US 'mid to late May'

A number of US retailers have told CVG that the black Wii SKU will be released Stateside in May.

More specifically, Wal-Mart told us the shiny black consoles should arrive on a Sunday in "mid to late May", although no exact day had been set.

This was backed up by electronics superstore Frys, who told us it'll arrive next month for the same $199 price as the current white Wii, with a black Wii Remote and Wii MotionPlus peripheral, black Nunchuk, Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort.

Black Wii console have already been on sale for some time in UK and Japan.

[TJ Spyke]

The reports are also saying that the bundle will include a black Classic Controller Pro.

[BlackNMild2k1]

That is right about enough to make me bite....


but reports from where?
is it just hearsay or wishful thinking?

[Halbred]

Reggie doesn't care about black consoles.

[Mop it up]

I'm actually tempted to get a black system at some point. I don't have Wii Sports Resort yet, plus I wouldn't mind having an extra system to use for homebrew. I don't trust it enough to modify my current system.

If it had a Classic Controller it would sweeten the deal, I wouldn't mind having a second.

[Chozo Ghost]

I think it would be cool if Nintendo made a transparent Wii like they did at one time with their original Gameboy, where you could see the innards. That was cool, but AFAIK they never did it with any other system since then.

[bustin98]

Funny thing, I do the homebrew, and have been launching newer games through the Gecko software. I did the safe updater thing, but the disks still say they want to apply an update to my system... I don't trust it.

Anyway, its odd cause my play time on games when launched through the Gecko indicate that I have been playing Gecko instead of the game. Weird.

Any other homebrewers here know what I'm talking about?

I am tempted to get the Black Wii too. Too bad I have a number of VC titles I can't just move over to a different Wii.

They did it with the N64 too.
