Nintendo will release a black-coloured Wii console and peripherals in Japan on August 1.
The black console, Wii Remote, Nunchuk and Classic Controller Pro accessories were revealed on the company’s Japanese website.
The platform-holder has also unveiled a red-coloured Nintendo DSi, which will be released in Japan on July 11.
No plans have been announced to release these products outside of Japan.
My black case mod looks exactly the same as that Wii does minus the Wii logo on the front. Only thing I'll be importing are the controllers to match.

That is looking very sleek. If it were available here I would've probably gotten that one.
Wii sez: I wanna look like PS3 innit
Wii sez: But I sure as hell don't wanna SELL like a PS3
Burn!
The Wii looks nothing like a PS3. And coming in black doesn't make it look anything like a PS3. That's a silly statement, Dan. You're running out of clever troll remarks!
You're an idiot. Just look at the thing -
It's, like, black & stuff; has a disc drive; stands up; & it's "controller" has buttons.
How is it not like a PS3?
I know... what was I thinking...
lol
I don't care what anyone says - this works for me! Any ideas on when we get a black Wii in Europe, late 2010 knowing Nintendo....
Nintendo made rumble controllers, nintendo did analog, then Sony made the Dual Shock
So the pattern isn't anything new.
I'm kinda underwhelmed by motion controls though. Nothing really matches the precision and fun of hitting buttons.
I have to admit it looks pretty slick, but it doesn't change the fact that it's an underpowered console with a gimmicky controller offering, primarily, a bunch of minigames.
I thought you were all "yay to motion controllers"?
I've never said anything of the sort. I am interested in an interface without ANY controller though.
He is only if it's for an HD Twin.
That thing is one sexy Wii! I want it!
Nintendo is so serious about dominating Japan... Take notice that Monster Hunter 3 tri is being bundled with the black Wii AND the red DSi comes out on the same day as Dragon Quest IX.
Ninty is gonna be printing some serious money in Japan this summer.
& I thought Nintendo didn't care about hardcore gamers....XTREME
If you've got money to burn, send your Wii in to ColorWare and pick from a larger selection of colors. Their service is incredibly overpriced, but somebody's keeping them in business...

Isn't it weird how all a company has to do it change the colour of it's console and everyone rushes out to replace the one they already have?
Barking mad in fact.
Couldn't agree more? Paying again for a new color? It looks "sexy:? Some people need to get out more.
True. But it does look pretty sexy! I would have preferred them to announce some games that makes me want to buy a Wii though. Or a HD version so the games don't look complete pap on my HDTV.
