Black Wii boxThis releasing a new color thing might actually work…

    It so awesome!!! Sure it is just a color but it so sexy looking (without the fingerprints of course)

  2. Joe says...

    hot damn…

    Right. Once you unbox this thing, connect it up and clean it off with a cloth, you can never touch it ever, ever again.

    Wow… Drooling… I wish my Wii was black…

  5. Loresb says...

    Yup once you go black you can never go back. Hahaha

    what the trade in value on the wii. i will trade mine in for a black one

    Damn that looks nice! I’d get a 2nd Wii if it ever comes to North America…..

    Both my PS3 and Wii are sat behind my TV from where I watch the TV. I doubt I’ll be ‘upgrading’, though, I will say, it does look very nice

    I am still waiting for the silver version to match up with my gamecube.

    That would look nice next to my PS3… VERY sexy indeed. ;)

    Hey here’s a question maybe somebody here can answer… If I sell my old white Wii and buy a slick new black one can I play all my VC and Wiiware stuff on the new one? Or can it only be played on the console that I bought the stuff on?

    Looks awesome – would I be right in saying Wii-motes aren’t region locked? Fancy importing a black wii-mote to use.

    Save money form buying a new Wii, yet keep the sexy-ness XD

    as far i know, virtual console games are limited to just that system. My advice, copy the saves over and then just pirate the games.

    Now if only the Wii was slick and menacing for real. Heck, I’d love the Wii and would still buy it anyway. Next step: painting all my plastic peripherals black with Krylon Fusion spray paint for plastics.

    An black NTSC Wii will make perfect sense beside my white PAL Wii.
    It surely beats stickers !!!

  16. Verius says...

    It looks like we’re gonna be stuck with white Wiis outside of Japan…. At least for now. http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/nintendo-shatters-dreams-has-no-plans-to-ship-black-wii-conso/
