Oh look, it is a blue and a pink Wii remote photo

Controller colors are so exciting, aren't they? Not really, but I'm duty bound to inform you that Wiimotes are now being made available in blue and pink flavors. At least in Japan. The new Wiimotes look like poisonous candy and will be on sale in Japan on December 3, where they will retail for ¥3,800 (US$42) apiece.

The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family (also known as the nightshades). The word potato may refer to the plant itself as well. In the region of the Andes, there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potatoes are the world's fourth largest food crop, following rice, wheat, and maize. Long term storage of potatoes requires specialized care in cold warehouses and such warehouses are among the oldest and largest storage facilities for perishable goods in the world.

"tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family"

That sentence made me feel very illiterate... Oh well, i kinda like the blue, if only it were darker.

At least expecting gamer parents will have something to hang out in the yard to announce the impending birth? Maybe?

Oh man I am so glad you included some information about potatoes on your preview, I totally know this is a hint that Nintendo is going to release a game soon that has potato product tie-ins with wiimote motionplus functionality. Maybe even a Mr. Potato Head GAME? OMG I just had an accident in my pants.

Those colors are dumb. When is the black Wii supposed to come out? Hopefully they'll start selling black stand alone controllers when that's out.
