Nintendo will release a black coloured Wii in Europe next month as part of a limited edition bundle also featuring a Wii Remote, Wii MotionPlus accessory, Nunchuk, Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort.

The black Wii will be available to buy in the UK and Republic of Ireland from November 6 and in mainland Europe on November 20.

Additional black Wii controllers and accessories will be available to purchase separately across Europe from November 20, as will the new black Classic Controller Pro.

The black Wii was previously a Japan-only offering, having launched on August 1.

The black Wii Remote and Wii MotionPlus accessory will also be launching in the States on November 16, but Nintendo of America has not announced plans to release the black Wii console in the US.

I wonder how much those classic controllers will be? You can currently pick up Gamecube controllers cheap as chips and they look a whole lot more sturdy than these tinny looking things.

Black Wii is sexy though. Hopefully if this hits other PAL territories such as NZ it will make standard white prices drop as people re-buy for the sexiness and I can pick up a whitey on the cheap.

It may be exactly the same as the white one that sits next to my telly but in black it looks super cool and I want one purely for that. The classic controller does remind me of a dual shock slightly though.

I don't care which side of the admittedly stupid fence you stand on. That is fucking sexy.
