Looks pretty good, too.

I hope I'm not the only one who misses the N64 days of having a technicolor mess of plastic controllers.

Wasn't their third-party black console shells being sold years before this was release?

Now everyone with their White Wii that has a bunch of dark stains and blemished on it, will say to themselves, "If I buy a Black Wii, I won't have to worry about stains on my Wii, the stigma that come with it, and the insecurities this the aesthetic appearance causes me."

Nintendo should just have waited until the Christmas Holidays and released it on "Black Friday."

Depending on how it's finished the thing might be a dust and fingerprint magnet like the fat PS3s.

It is nice to see them bundling both Wii Sports and Wii Sports Report at the original price point.

Been waiting for this for a while. I sold my old Wii almost a year ago but I'm starting to miss Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros so I may jump on this. Black will match my TV and PS3.

Why not just buy a used one? They sold many millions of those, and most of them only got used once or twice.

It's been available for months here in Australia as well. Mine came with all of that stuff and the Avatar game. The only annoying thing is that it still has a "white" power supply and cable. For those worrying about marks and scratches, mine hasn't marked up any more than any other thing I have. It is however very shiny if that is an issue for people. It has a black piano finish.
