So I got a black Wii today!.....

And it is GORGEOUS! Yes the difference is almost entirely aesthetic, and yes I already had my launch day Wii but I don't care. I wanted it, I got it, and it was worth it :)

I absolutely love it and it looks great next to my PS3 slim. One nice thing is that beyond the free Sports Resort and Wii Motion Plus the system also came preloaded with the internet channel, Nintendo Channel and a few others. Very nice and convenient indeed! I don't know how long the systems have been coming this way but it was a nice surprise and a welcomed touch from Nintendo.

So....just spreading the love to fellow USA-ers about how awesome the black Wii is. Cheers!

Interesting thanks for sharing.

So I should put away the black markers and just buy a new one instead ? :)

Lol well it depends on how much effort you want to put into it. I went the lazy way :P

But man I tell you what, the shiny glossy finish on the black is to die for. It's really slick.

Does it get easily smudged?

Well I'd say that yeah the potential exists. However the way I opened the package it really didn't require me to touch the sides of the system too much. But I was consciously avoiding doing that. I took the stand out first and set it down. The system comes in that softfoam wrap so I just peeled that off, grabbed only the corneres when necessary, then set it in the stand in a matter of seconds. Easily and without smudging. Viola! Then you just move by holding the stand and you have a clean shiny black Wii

Woah, AmnesiaHaze, that's some cool modding you've done. Just one question : how do you learn to do all this?

If i can get some decent money with my old launch Wii, then i'll be getting this ASAP.

So, there's another game included?

...And you're never going back. Eh, eh, eh? What are you going to do about all them VC games I'm sure you have?Arc2012

Well the funny (and unfortunate thing) is, that I had to send my Wii in to get repaired because it had corrupted save data a few months ago. The result was that all of my save data VC and channel data got completely wiped. It was hell. luckily three games I had saved on my SD card so I have those....but I probably lost ten others :( the only thing is that I lost them months ago and not from buying the black Wii!

*stares at white wii and shakes head* :(

Just so you know the preloaded channels are on the white consoles as well and that is basically the standard now, I picked up my wii just last month it had that too.

So...at Gamestop you'll get $80 for your Wii. Which must include one Wiimote and nuchuck. but they have a deal at the moment that if you trade in your Wii with the one controller set and then another wiimote and nnchuck you'll get $150 towards a black Wii. Wich is basically a free $50 and you end up paying only $50 for the black one. Which of course will come witha Wiimote and nunchuck. It's really a pretty fabulous deal.

Yeah man it's the bee's knees! But just to clarify you nderstand that you need two first party Wiimotes and two nunchucks. Buut make no mistake that is still a killer deal, again considering you get the black wiimote and nunchuck (which are SO hot) with the system. Go do it man! just the Wii and $50 and you got yourself one!

So, there's another game included?

redlightstudios

Yes, it comes with Wii Sports which all Wiis have been coming with. But it also comes with Wii Sports Resort and a Wiimotion plus. And again it comes preloaded with tons of new content and channels that the launch systems didn't come with. All for the same price of $199. It's stellar deal :)

paying getting 150 for a wii and a 2nd controller is a bad deal, because you already have a wii and you had 2 controllers and not just 1, then have to pay $50, it doesn't have anything extra.

you dont need to bya a new wii for black color , just a replacement case which is available in even more colors and is much cheaper AmnesiaHaze

Yeah, but I want the authentic experience!

I played my black wii for a few hours then sold it. I dont understand why nintendo would release a different colour of a system thats been out for going on 4 years now.

SteverXIII

They should have released this when the Wii came out. I bought a Wii for $249.99 and Wii Sports Resort for $49.99. That means I spent an extra $99.99!!

Yes the difference is almost entirely aesthetic, and yes I already had my launch day Wii but I don't care.
