Okay, so the Wii has been on the market for nearly 3 complete years and although sales are still pretty high I think sales are beginning to fall. In Japan the sales are abysmal compared to what they used to be and out of nowhere Nintendo decided to release the Black Wii alongside MH3 with new Black accessories. More importantly they've decided to release a Black Wii Remote and Nunchuck with WM+ add-on and sleeve in America for Nov. 16th. and funny enough New Super Mario Bros releases Nov. 15th. *hint hint.

Could Nintendo bring the Black Wii to America along with New Super Mario Bros? Remember how they packed the new DS Lite with New Super Mario Bros? That was pretty successful so will Nintendo do the same for Wii? It doesn't really make sense them bringing Black Accessories to America unless the Black Wii was coming. What do you guys think?

It dosn't make any difference to me since I already have a Wii, but I think its possible.

It is certainly possible, they may be saving it for another game though like say Zelda Wii, Other M, etc.

Hmm, maybe. I think it'll be coming within the next year and they'll probably package it with a big title. Either that or Nintendo's next console will launch with a black option. It'll just be a way to keep the Wii fresh and offer another option. I just don't think that they'd launch it in Japan, bring the colored accessories and now bring the Black Wii itself. Hmm, maybe that's why they dropped the price ahead of time, so they can bring the black version as a cheaper option.

Perhaps they simply want to use the price point and now Black Wii as a way to keep sales going relatively high for a bit until Galaxy 2, Zelda Wii, and Other M come to save it.

it may be possible. i'd rather a blue wii. or maybe a red wii with mario, or a green one for link.

Now we're talkin'. Yeah, if Nintendo said they'd never drop the price then I'm sure that them saying the Black Wii will never come is them saying that it will be coming. Nintendo doesn't comment on rumors so they often say things aren't going to happen if they haven't revealed it to the public yet.

I agree, a blue one would be sweet but the green Wii is for Luigi!

Just an update guys. Now Nintendo is bringing the Black Wii to the UK and the rest of Europe around the first few weeks of November. Still no announcement for America YET they're bringing the Black Wii accessories around November 17th. Hmm, Japan, then Europe... I think they're hinting at the Black Wii coming to America bundled with New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Can't wait to see.

Yeah, I know man. They're 3 years late. I'm glad it's finally coming but it should've been available from the beginning. They probably just decided to use it as a short term sales boost. I won't be buying it since I already have a Wii too. Hopefully their next console starts off with at least 2 colors or a black option.
