Remember that black Wii I told you about a few year ago? And all the commenters were like, "OMG! Want!" well, sorry folks. Unless you go to Japan, you can not haz. Nintendo told game daily that it has "no plans to have other colors of Wii in the U.S."
In a way this is bad news, but in a way, it's the best news. Sometimes difficulty = coolness; if you travel to Japan and bring back a black Wii, you will be the envy of all your gaming friends. This level of coolness would be impossible if all it took was a trip to Best Buy, right?
Another thought: If these sell really well in Japan, you might see them brought to the states in some possible future. Just because Nintendo doesn't have plans now, doesn't mean it won't have plans later, see? So keep your fingers crossed! Do you think a black Wii would enhance the image of the system among "hardcore" gamers?

What does color have to do with it? This makes no sense. The white Wii was just as sleek when it came out, wasn't it?
I'm going to, for the sake of this comment line (which will go nowhere), go ahead and call that statement racist.

This is the same company that said the DSI wouldn't come out until well into 2009 and then had them in stores here - what? - four months later? It'll be here this Xmas. I bet my busted, Tiger-Woods-is-totally-stuck-i n-it-forever Wii on it.

Maybe it's simply too big for us to handle, being black and all.

Man, this is the most bogus news I heard. Oh yeah, it can make a whole lot of a difference...if Japan knows it, trust us, they know, LOL!!! :)
Wow, that does look nice!! :) Very sweet! No question it can make a whole lot of difference. As for "hardcore" gamers, maybe not so much in attracting them to the system but getting their attention? Oh yeah, look at that baby breath!! Wow! LOL!!! :)
I bet you guys(G4) will come through, huh? You guys could get the hook in Japan...domestically(US), we can't cause of N. Korea, you know? So we like your chances, LOL!!! :)

I'm just going to look so much cooler when I bring back my black Wii from Japan. That's actually why they have no plans to release it here. They're giving me a chance to look cool for awhile first. Thanks, Nintendo!

I wouldn't mind owning a black wii. I prefer my system be a dark color, but i would also prefer lighter colors, cuz i dont like dust to show. Hmm, if i can trade my old wii in for this one and pay a couple of bucks, I'd get it.
