The Nintendo Wii will be available in black from May 9, Nintendo has announced, when it updates the $199 standard bundle to include Wii Sports Resort and the MotionPlus peripheral in addition to Wii Sports and a controller, as had been rumoured.

The new bundle in black and Wii Sports Resort.

"By including even more of our top-quality hardware and software in the basic Wii system package, we're extending that commitment to entertainment and value," said Nintendo of America's Reggie Fils-Aime. "Now more than ever, consumers can count on Nintendo to deliver inclusive fun and advanced motion controls at a mass-market price."

The May 5 release date applies only to the USA. Nintendo has yet to reveal when it will hit elsewhere, though according to the earlier rumours it'll invade Canada on May 23.

Ok im looking at the box and no nunchuck, is it not included anymore and replaced by the motion plus? i dont really care much because when i buy a wii it will be for virtual console (i do emulate but honest;y it be nice to have a system hooked up to my tv that i can play my retro games on). Without the nunchuck though that means i wont be able to play Zelda or Mario :(.

I wish they'd take Wii frisbee golf from the sports resorts and add about 72 courses to it. The tiger woods frisbee golf didn't have the same feel and therefore wasn't as good, IMO.

I can not believe that motion plus wasn't handed out from now on the second it was finished, in the box as default.
What the fuck were they thinking?

All they had to do was wiisports resort with motion plus, add motion plus to the default box and ship motion plus on their website for say 15$ US for people and then developers could rely on it.
Now it's going to be one of those half assed things developers can't be sure to target for or not.
Dumb, dumb, dumb.

This package has been on sale in the UK for quite some time, it does look rather snazzy I must admit.

Will the black make it harder or easier to see the dust on the console after the first week of ownership?
