Nintendo has finally announced a North American release date for their black Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers. The new color will be available on November 16, one day after the release of New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
The black Wii Remote will be bundled with a black Wii MotionPlus accessory for $49.99, a $10 savings compared to buying them separately. The black Nunchuk will be sold individually for $19.99.
NEW COLOR PUTS NINTENDO'S WII REMOTE AND NUNCHUK IN THE BLACK
Oct. 14, 2009
Nintendo's iconic Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers are getting a new look, just in time for the holidays. Ever since the Wii 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 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.
"The Wii Remote revolutionized not only how people play games, but also who plays them," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "The new color lets people customize their setup, and the controllers make great stocking stuffers for players of any age."

I'm still waiting for the pink one to come stateside.

Including Motion+ makes sense in theory but I found it very surprising that at E3 Motion+ was not much of a focus. I assumed Nintendo wanted to make this the new Wii controller standard but so far Wii Sports Resort is it for the first party titles (with hints about the next Zelda maybe supporting it). Nintendo showed some big games at E3 but none of them supported Motion+. It seems their plans for it are more restrained and it's going to be more of an optional accessory like the balance board.
I don't have four remotes yet so I guess if I get another one I might as well change it up and get a black one. I don't know why they don't offer other colours though.

I don't know why they don't offer other colours though.They've got blue and pink coming to Japan on December 3rd, so I'm sure those will be released in North America at some point. It might be next year though.

That really doesn't make sense, but I'm sure stores will have them both in stock that day and sell tehm side by side.

How do you think a black Nunchuk would look along with a pink Wiimote?
gangsta

I hope they'll release a pink Nunchuk too...

Neither of those are the look I'm going for.

You could buy one of those pick rubber nunchuck condoms. That makes most of it look pink.

I can't stand the Wiimote jackets so I doubt I'd like the Nunchuk ones. Plus I think they're ugly.Neither of those are the look I'm going for.

You could buy one of those pink rubber nunchuck covers. That makes most of it look pink.
