Black Wii confirmed, will include Wii Sports Resort and MotionPlus photo

Starting May 9, every new Wii console will be packed with Wii Sports Resort and the MotionPlus attachment for the Wiimote. This will be on top of the copy of Wii Sports that's already included with every Wii system. This new bundle will sell for $199.99, the same price Wiis currently go for,

Nintendo will also start selling black colored Wii consoles with matching colored controllers and even black Wiimote protective jackets. This is the first time black colored Wiis will be sold in America and black Wii bundles go for $199.99 as well.

Black looks good on the Wii! What do you all think of this new bundle? It's about time that Nintendo got serious about the MotionPlus attachment.

Oh wow, I remember seeing a 360 bundle with forza 3 that was only 150 bucks. How weird...

Multiple colors?
One-to-one Motion Control?
Cheaper than all the other consoles?

Hey, guys, the wii they advertised back in '06 finally came out!

In all seriously, though, it'd be horrible for something like this not to happen. Particularly, the Motionplus coming standard. If more games start needing it, consumers shouldn't have to buy more hardware. Kinda how the nunchuk's been packed in from the start. Too bad the early adopters still have to make that purchase.

I think it's a brilliant move by Nintendo. Earlier this year Reggie Fils-Aime stated that there are lots of motion plus games coming out. By packaging motion plus in this new bundle, Nintendo is killing two birds with one stone; boosting Wii sales going into the holidays by offering a different color along with 2 games, and putting motion plus into the hands of new Wii owners so that they can experience the new motion plus games without having to purchase the necessary attachment. I'd be willing to be Ninty has some motion plus games to announce at E3 for the second half of the year. (Remember, Zelda is SUPPOSEDLY coming out for this holiday season so they need to put motion plus into the hands of gamers so that game will sell)

Total fucking rip off. I wouldn't expect them to take a loss like MS and Sony like to do, which is just foolish, but I'd expect them to be competitive in pricing. I know, no need for them to be competitive, seeing as they don't have any competition.

I guess at this point they can just do whatever the fuck they want, but I can see that turning back on them in a few years. Nobody is gonna buy this shit when they duct tape 3 GCs together and call it Wii HD or Wii 2 and charge 250 again.

I guess it depends on what you the Wii and it's peripherals are worth. But even if you think the Wii is crap, you can't deny the good deal that is a game system, 2 games and a controller for $200. You can't even come close to finding a deal like that on the other two consoles.

$99? what are you crazy? They had to import these from Japan! they have to keep the price at $199 to get the money back from importing and make a small profit!

Just a color change. Don't need nor desire to have one since I'm sure it doesn't do anything different from my current one.

"$99, or no deal!"

Yeah I'm sure Nintendo gives a crap about you not buying one until its $99, when millions of other people around the world are buying them every month at $200!

If the Wiimote is coming standard with the motion plus, would it be too much to ask for them to just move it INSIDE the wiimote? I mean 3rd party knockoffs already are doing it.

What. This is the first time i see something here, and then months later, hear it's announced officially to be sold in the US. Also, the price of the white one will drop roughly of 30 bucks.
Do you guys already have the classic controller pro? XD

The black wii just looks updated and fresh compared to the white wii. Pretty sweet that it comes packaged with Wii Sports Resort and MotionPlus for $199.99. I won't be picking this up bu can see many people who will. If point of sale <a href="http://www.signsreviewed.com">signage</a> is utilized correctly, Wii (Nintendo) can make a killing.

My sister's boyfriend wanted to get rid of his 360 arcade and pick up a Wii so this is good timing.

That would go nice with my black 360, PS3, TV, shelf, etc. But alas I already have one.

Meh, this is Nintendos way to get a bunch of dumb saps to buy a second Wii. And the sad thing is, people will line up to do it.

haha, oh its the nintendo revolution. Oh nintendo, you really have mastered progression through regression.

Once again a shiny black machine and the hopes of a new zelda game are being dangled before the masses. Feels like deja vu

Some people are too pathetic for fixing.

I might have to replace my fiancée's wii with one of these for our living room (to match the decor of the rest of the electronics, of course). I'll still probably buy it used for cheaper, though.

I understand why people are being pissy about all of this because it's just a simple change in the plastic color, but you have to remember Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo do this all the time within the console's life cycle in order to boost sales.
