Post by: NWR_MattB on October 10, 2011, 11:25:37 AM

Nintendo is releasing a new Wii color to commemorate the launch of the new Mario & Sonic game.

Nintendo UK announced that a new Wii bundle including a blue Wii and a copy of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games will be released on November 18.

There is no word as to whether or not this bundle will arrive in North America or Japan.

I knew it! I knew it would be a blue Wii just by reading the title. That, and there's really no other obvious new colors to choose from. A green Wii would be tight. With a little Link hat on top.

Now they need to come out with a Princess Peach game to bundle with a Pink Wii to match that Pink Wiimote too.

Wow. Sonic on the box of a Nintendo console.

I don't see where the * next to "newly configured" leads, but I'm guessing this is the, "Now with 100% less Gamecube support!" edition.

Super Princess Peach Wii.  Though I rather see it for 3DS.  Maybe Daisy vs Peach.  Pauline is forcing them to fight after being mostly forgotten in the series.

Judging by the orientation of the Wii logo in the picture of the console, it must be.

Too bad it's the same colour as the blue Wiimote they came out with a while back, it looks a little weird to me. A darker blue would be a better choice, one that more closely matched the colour of Sonic or Mario's coveralls.

I really want nice things... A blue Wii would be freakin' awesome. I'm really in the RPG mind too. I just restarted Dragon Quest 9. I'm seriously thinking about doing all the side quests in it too. I'm really hungry for some good JRPGs.

Ugh! Mario &Sonic at the Olympics is the best bundled game they could come up with this late into the system's life?

What perplexes me is the fact that they announced this and didn't announce a Golden Wii/Zelda Bundle. A Zelda Bundle seems like a no brainer especially since they already made the special addition Wiimote.

That would be great.  That is what NoA should have announced instead of Gimpy the Lame Wii.

The problem is that no one would actually be able to buy it. "They'd be like, I'd like a... *snicker*...Golden Wii please...with, *blurts out loudly* Zelda!" Then the cashier would just stand there crumpled over laughing until closing time, with a long line of confused customers awkwardly staring.
