There is a black Wii coming out, and my God it is sexy.
....and it's about 3 years overdue.
Well, when every store from here to Mars is sold out of the damn thing, it's a little expected. I don't think Nintendo saw the Wii as becoming THIS popular, so the actual manufacture of alternate colors was put on hold to fill the ridiculous demand.
pardon my lack of commas and shotty sentence structure, but use some common fucking sense.

the wii's utters are still hanging out there being milked? i didnt notice between all the cool new games coming out for real systems like MW2 and AC2.
Yes there was no way a nipple jerking motion being done for the entire development and release of MW2.

I got heckled more about MW2 than I have from Jehova's witnesses.

Fans in denial: When you know every franchise is being milked hard enough to chafe and yet nobody but the opposing side will point it out.

:( It is why we can't have polite console discussions anymore, you know. Nobody can ever man up and admit his faults.

Nintendo is finally offering alternate colors for their Wii and WiiMote?

All I can say is I'm suprised it took them this long. Let's see, their handhelds are in more colors than there are colors, the n64-- did you want black? white? purple? See-through? See-through purple? And the controllers?!?

Then you had the gamecube....


...of course no one notices PS3 has multiple colors for controllers now.

Look. I know it seems that color-palette swaps for controllers is a cash cow, but let me tell you this. If you live in a house with more than one child, it's a -really good idea- to have each child choose the color for 'their' controller. Then they feel like they own something, like something is -theirs-.

And the dumb little goblins won't break -your- controller.

So giving buyers a color selection is a cash-in? They're just making them black... I don't get what the problem is.

Why should I give a fuck about a controler for a system I stopped using a year ago?
Because others like myself use the console everyday.

The Wii was a giant cash in; how long did it take them to 'fix' the response time? Oh right, several years and you have to pay for the motion plus...
But as people are still buying this tiny dust collector, people will still buy the black one.

biggest waste of $349.99 ever. And if you're wondering, I use the Wii everyday.
Some people like gaming, others, tin foil.
I like both.

Comes down to preference but what can't be argued is the lack of quality technology from Nintendo as it does not respond in real time.
While yes it has the delay, Need I remind you of the "Sixaxis"? And do you know how Sony fixed it? By getting rid of it and charging $55 for a new controller. And what about Natal? Since none of us have tried it, would know how bad the latency is?

Seems you can't walk 3 pages on the Internet without somebody mentioning a big black Wii.

That said, throw me in the pile of folks who doesn't get enough use out of his vanilla Wii to go chocolate.

Sixaxis had/has lag? Got rid of it? Eh? I only bought an 80GB PS3 with dualshock controllers which still have Sixaxis and it doesn't have any lag last time I checked with games such as Warhawk and Flower...
Your system came with the dualshock which replaced the Sixaxis. Not all the PS3 games use the Sixaxis control scheme for movement. While other developers use the sixaxis for stupid things. I was hoping you'd counter with a game or two because last time I checked, games like Dragon Ball Tenkaichi 2&3,Super Mario Galaxy, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Madworld and No More Heroes didn't suffer lag either. Its how the developer utilized the motion controls. Warhawk and Flower did good with it while Lair and Alien Symdrome didn't work with it.

Nah, I think it's a good move. And even if it IS a money making scheme, that's what they do. I personally prefer the black anyway. They might even get a few more sales because of the new paint job.

Why should you comment on a thread about something you just said you didn't care about?

OT: Yay, now I have a dark-side version of my Wii that will go together perfectly with my Twilight princess copy.

People should just paint their stuff, I do.

And it's not a cash in, it's actually pretty late. The Wii's only been available in white, meanwhile the DS has, like, 8 colors or something.

i think the wii is useless, so who cares?
You may not, but there are other people who do. This is a thread for those people.
Just because you think something doesn't mean the rest of the world should too

I think the largest rip-off from nintendo is the fact that you have to buy the Wiimote and the Nunchuk seperately and it comes to a total of about 90 $ canadian with taxes. Good thing I play alone.
