Nintendo's confirmed that the previously Japan-only black Nintendo Wii will reach Europe next month. As owners of an imported one, we're delighted we're soon to be no longer special.
The "limited edition" black Wii bundle will hit the shops on November 6 and include the new black console plus a black Remote, Nunchuk, and MotionPlus, Nintendo's confirmed. The box also includes a copy of Wii Sports Resort and the original Wii Sports.
For those after black Wii Remotes, you'll be able to buy them separately from November 20, Nintendo has said.
In addition Nintendo is also bringing the new black Classic Controller Pro - an enhanced version of the Classic controller - to the UK on November 20.
I never use my Wii but I want one of these sooooo bad. The blue disk tray light is sweet, if only a software update would allow you to have it on all the time...
Shame you can't switch over your VC and WiiWare games from your original Wii. I'd love to have a black Wii but there's no way I could afford all those games again. I got most from converting my Star Points too. I'd saved them for around four or five years and then converted them all (I did also buy VC games etc outright too)...
I'm surprised they're releasing the black version so soon, I thought they would launch it side by side with a big game release, like they did in Japan with Monster Hunter Tri.
I just noticed something about the classic controller, is it just me or are both of the analog sticks further apart, they look more comfortable to use than the ordinary one.

Yes the sticks are further apart than the sticks on the original, the shoulder buttons are better placed too, its basically an improved model, not just the same thing but in black and with handles added on.
Soooo tempted to get one (just like with the MW2 360), but I'm just p**sed off as this was supposed to be the 'original' colour (when it was still codenamed Revolution) instead of the 'fail-in-comparison' white
