hi, I'm guessing most of you guys have seen pictures of the black Nintendo Wii in Japan. It looks so cool so is anyone going to buy it when it finally releases in the UK and USA . I am going to trade my white Wii in for the back it just looks so cool.

Even if it does come, why would you trade it? You will have to still pay money to get the black one (probably like $50) and you lose all of your VC/Wiiware games.

I have a perfectly good white one, no need for black

To honest, I think it looks worse. I'm not going to sell mine from launch to get the same thing, and lose my Virtual Console games (And my precious memories of it :cry: ).

Will it play games different than my white Wii? That's my answer then.

Why would you buy the same thing twice because it looks different. If you want a black wii spray paint the Wii you have.

I already have one, so I'm not going to pay $200 for something I could do with the magic of spray paint.

Hello people! You can put all of your VC/Wii Ware games on a SD card. So you are actually not going to lose them. Think people.

You can put them on an SD card, but they are locked to your Wii, can't transfer to other consoles.

Know what your talking about before you tell other people to think.

Can't you transfer your Wii Shop Channel account to another Wii? I don't know, I could be wrong.

No you can't dude, I have tried it, and so have many other people.

And you can set something up with Nintendo about transfering the games, you have to contact customer service.

you might be able to, if you phone Nintendo. They probably would let you, because it would mean you buy another console, and that means they make more $$$

No. I already have a Wii, so a change in color isn't enough for me to warrant spending another $200 on a system I already have.

Anyway, even if I decided to trade in my white Wii for a black one, I'd lose some save data that can't be moved to an SD Card, so that's also why I wouldn't get a black Wii.

I'd buy a black Japanese Wii, but not a NA one. Odds are I won't get any of them though.

So I could play Japanese-only games...

I'm not going to get one though. I have better things to spend my money on right now. Perhaps one day, but certainly not anytime soon.

If you buy anything you don't need for your Wii, because it is black, you are exactly who Nintendo is trying to fool.

I think it's unreasonable to trade in a perfectly good system just for a new color. If it's for a upgraded new system than that makes sense, maybe like a new harddrive, slimmer model, etc., But just for a new color and to pay more money for it? And to even pay up close to a $100 for it knowing Gamestop's crazy trade-in offers?

Tell me if that makes sense? :?

No because I already have one and simply don't have the money. I would also not get a black one because you are not able to transfer all of your saved game files such as super smash bros. brawl.

if you look closer i quoted someone else your answer somehowgot into that quote as well , if you consider a piece of plastic costs aprx. 40 dollars it isnt that cheap at all lol , but you should know that its much fun to mod the wii
