Title: Black Wii U Shown During Nintendo Direct
Post by: Crimm on June 03, 2012, 08:25:59 PM

The Nintendo Direct stream casually featured a Black Wii U.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/30412

Wii U may come in black along with the customary white. 

In the background of the Nintendo Direct video was a black Wii U system, as well as a black Wii U GamePad. Up until this point, Nintendo has not shown the Wii U in any color except white. 

While this does not confirm what colors will be available when the system launches, it does raise the prospect that the hardware will come in both black and white.

I don't think it should come in white at all (or at least not until much later). I think black should be established as the default color to help distinguish the system from the original Wii and to hopefully avoid market confusion. Its not like the name does much to make this distinction, so this makes it even more imperative that the system look different.

I still want a gun metal black or a brushed steel silver.

But black over white any day of the week, so hopefully they launch in both, or atleast offer Black to all Pre-ordered system.

For that matter, what happened to the clear plastic fad?

If controllers are any indications it now has LED lights to light it up.

Black is a much better color for the Wii U than white. However, a green one would be the best.

I'm serious.

I clearly remember wii and gamecube prelaunch colors that never came to be. So don't get presumptious or anything.

I really hope you're joking (about the furniture), but just incase you're not.... pictures please.

Brushed steel would be awesome for the console but the controller would look kinda tacky right?

Meh, I was fine with a white system. Offering more choices is never bad though.
