The Nunchuk has always been shiny on top and matte on bottom, but it's much more noticeable, and nice-looking, on the black version. Somehow, the Wiimote jacket also looks cool in matte black, despite being a Wiimote jacket. The Classic Controller Pro, as well, looks like much more of an upgrade in shiny black plastic. Head past the break to see the blue Wii Sports controllers.

I think En Vogue said it best:
"Never gonna get, it never gonna get it..."

"O-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoooa!"
On topic, now I feel a little frustrated having imported a white Japanese Wii last year for the games exclusive to Japan. You're breaking me, guys. ABOUT COLOUR, you're breaking me.

WOw that looks sexy. That new classic controller looks bad ass too.
The blue wiimote and nunchuck looks neon and odd.

Apprentice - "My master.. the sales of the Wii are slowing down.."
Master - "hmm.. time to release, the black one!"
Apprentice - "But master.."
Master - " But Nothing!, they shall see the blackness, and buy their loyalty.. then we shall have our deathstar...!"

Are we going to see a black wii motion-plus?
Storm Eagle @ Jun 22nd 2009 2:34PM
Or black Wii Balance Board? Or Wii Wheel?

I would re-buy a Wii in black if I had money to blow on it.

Too bad I already bought four remotes.

You know...when it first came out, I thought it would look better in black. But after having the little white console in my cabinet for two years now, that black version actually looks horrendous to me. Weird.

The console looks awful. The only thing i'd do would be to have 4 different coloured wiimotes and nunchucks, to differenciate them.

I always liked the green and red ones they had pictured when they first showed it as the 'Revolution'. The black is just meh.

The color can't save the Wii console from "novelty" wear...
Metayoshi @ Jun 22nd 2009 7:28PM
The black looks pretty good.
The blue on the other hand... Not my favorite kind of blue out there...

I swear when I was scrolling down on the main page I thought it was a PS3...I only took a glimpse of it and then came back up and was all like "ZOMG i THOUGHT IT WAS A PS3!"
I mean c'mon the new classic controller looks almost exactly like a DualShock from the corner of my eye :p

Even if I were to upgrade (er, sidegrade?), where would my downloads go?
