Europe - black Wii and Classic Controller Pro launch in November

Posted 21st of October, 2009 at 12:18 am by Infernal Monkey Infernal Monkey is online now


Nintendo of Europe has announced a 'limited edition' black Wii bundle, including the stylish looking console, a copy of Wii Sports Resort (along with the original) and MotionPlus. It's set to launch in the UK on the 6th of November, followed by mainland Europe on the 20th.

The new Classic Controller Pro will also launch on the same day, in both black and white, along with black Nunchuk's and additional Wii Remote's. Now we sit back, twiddle our thumbs and wait to see if Nintendo Australia will offer a similar package.

Hopefully this is true. And if it is.

About bloody time!! No chance of it hitting Australia. But I don't mind importing. Be nice to have a black one in my room for the new year. And I am considering moving to London for a while next year.

I remember the time my eyes landed on the black Revolution....Wii.
It was awesome as hell and it still looks great and it makes a welcome change to the white.

I think Nintendo tried to make the lighting look all fancy and completely failed.

Hmm, I might import one set of the black Wii remote and nunchuk. Good to see the Classic Controller PRO will be released in black as well.

That Wii is still nice, slick, and black as ever (as well as the contollers).

Way too late if you ask me. Now they will pull out some idiotic sales figures showing that the white wii has sold many more units than the black one...

And blue and red.


I already have the black classic controller pro, it is a lot better than the old classic controller.

Nintendo figured they'd get their own back after Sony copied the SNES controller for however many years it was. That was their whole plan from the start.

Nice, but I would rather just spray mine black with a can from Dulux for around $20.

I want one of all!
But dammit, why do I need another remote and nunchuk? I already got 4 of each! :P
Maybe just the Classic Pro then...

Classic Controller Pro. Ok, I'm satisfied. And it's black, right off the start. Great bonus... oh wait, Nintendo Australia.
