Quantcast


IRL images of Black Wii and Blue Wii Remotes photo

Remember when we told you about the Black Wii that Japan is slated to get? Well, Nintendo gave us craptastic renders that we're supposed to believe are real. We're not fooled, Nintendo. We want to see the real deal.

We finally have real images of both the Black Wii and a Blue Wii Remote, both fresh from Japan's World Hobby Fair.

The Black Wii and its accessories, the new Wii Classic Controller and the Wii Remote/Nunchuck with black grips, look as shiny and fingerprint magnet-y as we expected. But still nice. The Blue Wii Remote, which Kotaku says is a Japan-only Club Nintendo contest prize, looks like something we saw at E3 2006, color and all. 

If you're interested, there's plenty more pictures of World Hobby Fair at Japanese page Inside Games. There you'll find shots of the PSPgo, some other booths, and plenty of Monster Hunter action.

Aw... They all look so sleek!
Now when will the red DSi hit a English speaking country?

Japan only Club Nintendo deal?!
Dammit.
That was one of the cooler, although trivial, things about I loved about the N64... All the cool controller colors!
I have them all... Why? I don't know. They just looked cool.
Come on, Nintendo! Let us taste the rainbow. =)

I remember when the Wii was first anounced and Nintendo had released images showing all the cool colors that would be available to choose from. But nooooo we got stuck with white. I miss that about Nintendo consoles, they forgot that plastic comes in different colors.

...I like blue, but I've got to say, that's pretty damn ugly in my opinion. I didn't like the blue DSi, either. Maybe it's the shade?

The black classic controller pro looks sexy.

I wonder if they originally launched the system in multiple colors, if Nintendo would have overthrown the recession. Black is always sexy, now i know what i need to upgrade...forget my house. =)

Sorry, Nintendo, but I've already played with my Wii so long that it turned black and blue. Wait a minute...

What the hell is this stupid blue color that Nintendo is so dead set on using for everything!? I have never seen a product in this blue color before and there's a good reason for that -- it's offensively ugly.
