News on the Black Wii Bundle

Color is so in demand nowadays. Colored consoles are perhaps the new wave of changes brought about by gaming companies. Not so long ago, Nintendo released their color inspired DS Lite consoles. They immortalized nearly every color found. With that, it became the stepping stone towards the personalizing the aesthetics and uniqueness that every consumers want. And recently, another new wave has been unleashed into the coasts of game consoles; it was the released of the black Wii bundle.

2006 was the year in which the Nintendo Wii consoles had reached the market. And this became the most chosen game gadget as evident by millions of consumers buying it compared Xbox and Sony PlayStation. With its release years ago, the Wii has been equated with the color white. The console box with the game controls are plastered with pure white. The base is of a neutral gray shade for sleek support. Perhaps the idea behind this color is that with such color exudes neatness and clarity.

But this year the white monotony for Wii had finally been washed. It's been 3 years already and it still is growing strong in the market after all this time. But Nintendo has confirmed that they had been developing a black version of the Wii. And finally summer of this year, they had proudly announced that the black Wii bundle is available. The said package includes a black Wii remote also known as the "Wiimote", which is the primary controller for the console, the black controller Pro, Wii Motion Plus and Wii Nunchuck. Apart from that it also contains a copy of Wii Sports Resort and the original Wii Sports. The downside was that upon its initial release is also its geographic availability. In June, this was made available only in Japan.

Many had been anticipating upon knowing the said news to have their hands on the new black Wii bundle. And Japan is so fortunate to have this first. But last November 6, the Wii console had finally go on sale in Ireland and the UK. 14 days after, this in turn will also be marketed in the European continent. But do take note this will be available in a very limited number. Moreover, the black Wiimote, Nunchuk and Motion Plus will also be available separately on November 20.

For U.S. consumers, Nintendo also plans to darken the holidays. The black Wii remote and Nunchuk will hit the market on November 16. This can be a wonderful alternative from the usual white minimalist hardware. Nintendo announced that the black equipment will have a price of $ 49.99. Apart from the remote it will also include a matte-black silicon sleeve for the device and Wii Play. The black Nunchuk attachment will also have a price tag of $ 19.99.

Sad to say the black Wii model, which was released in Japan in June this year, will not be released in Europe or even in North America. But I think those parts may be sufficient enough for that black Wii bundle for the meantime. So if you are tired of the old white color, then your chance for a new shade is here. So, watch out for those dates and head to your favorite local gaming stores.
