According to our sources at the GameStop manager conference in Las Vegas, Nintendo has revealed that a black Wii Remote/Wii MotionPlus combo will be available in limited quantities this holiday. For those that like their peripherals to match, a black nunchuk accessory will also be sold separately.
Nintendo released a black Wii console in Japan earlier in the month, much to the chagrin of early adopters who might have wanted something a little darker sitting in their entertainment console. While we've yet to see the black remote that will hit stores this fall, we're sure it won't look much different than its Japanese counterpart (pictured above).
If you were waiting to purchase your Wii MotionPlus, is this darker color going to finally push you over the edge?
[Update: Our original information had the nunchuk being bundled with the Wii Remote and Wii MotionPlus. However, that's not the case; it will be sold separately. The story has been updated to reflect this. Don't cry.]

Is it bigger than the normal Wii?
Hopefully they'll also release the Classic Controller Pro around then as well instead of making us wait until Monster Hunter is released.
Here's hoping Nintendo does release the black pro classic controller because I sure could use one of those.
So unfair.
Guess I'll settle for a black Wiimote instead. I guess.
No seriously.
What the fuck....?
Really? You sold your Wii because it was white? You're pretty much the exact opposite of me. Function comes way before fashion.
"no ds lite redesign"
"no black wii in NA"
shall we basically take every thing nintendo denies as truth?
Its just the way it works really, its the same with Sony "No psp go" and "No ps3 slim" Its all LIES!
Don't believe anything Nintendo says in the first place.
That goes double for the other two companies.
I call this a rip off! If they do not upgrade or at leastsell it at same price, but without Nunchuck!? That sucks! So I won't getting this Nintendo Balck Wii Release because I already got one :)
Thanks
