Wii in White Only

[conzer16]

Codename Revolution are reporting that Nintendo's Planning General Manager Mitsuaki Hagishima has been interviewed by Japanese "Nintendo Dream" Magazine, and says that Wii will be produced in one colour only. He does say that the Wii remote will be produced in a multitude of colours.

So no black at all then? How do people feel about that?

[Kurtle Squad]

Doubt it'll happen...Gamecube came in bzillions of colours, especially in Japan.
They could do it though, as if people dont have a choice at all, then there will be no people 'waiting' for a certain colour.

They should have released Muliple coloured Wiimotes to start with though. Not those crappy sleeve things.

White > Black. There's no point in a black console except for goths. And nobody wants to play Wii with goths anyway :heh:

On a more serious note, the white Wii would have been far more popular anyway. I doubt there's that much demand for a black Wii.

[Kraser]

XD! Well, i have a goth friend and that lame says he gone wait to the black Wii... it seems that he gonna have to wait to all eternity

[triforce_keeper]

If it was my choice I could have gone for the black because it looks more sexy!

And I'm no goth >.>

[Waylander]

Doesnt bother me. I only wanted a Wii in white anyway.

[Dr.Boo]

OH NOES!! My favorite console is white, and I wanted it darkblue with green Boo's on it!!!
I am NOT gonna buy the Wii now.


Just kidding, but I guess you get my point: I personally don't care about the color... as long as the console and the gaming itself is good

[AshMat]

I wanted a black Wiimote. They wilol make other colour wiis. Look how succesfull the DS ahs become in a range of colours

[ShadowV7]

I wanted a black one more than the white one.Oh well.

[Alan77]

I'm happy with white. Just hope they make the baby blue controllers showcased in some of the vids - I want a couple of those to complement the white ones.

[Stefkov]

meh not bothered, white will go with my white lite.
Will probably get 3 other coloured maybe 2, if the Wii play controller is white, controllers.
I'd go for a green one :D

[Rapture1984]

Lies I tell you! :grin: I'd happily wager my pre-ordered Wii that Nintendo will release different colours, maybe not at launch, but there's no reason not too.

This time next yeat we'll be seeing pink Wii's to co-incide with the breast cancer thing like the DS.

[Din]

Wanted the white one anyway so it doesn't bother me.

[Ramar]

Didn't they say with the DS no other colours would be released, look at the situation now.

[Retro_Link]

One reason not to get White consoles is that they tend to gradually loose their whiteness over time (because of the sun); like the Dreamcast!

I couldn't decide between the White and Black Wii (I was kinda edging towards the Black one), but Nintendo made the choice for me!

I'm glad there will be different colour Wii-motes!

[Charlie]

They told us this ages ago I think. It will most likely come out in other colours soon. The DS started with only silver, and look how many there ar enow...

[Tellyn]

Ah well, at least we get different coloured Wiimotes.

[Twozzok]

Who cares about the colour, it's not like with the black ones you get extra memory or anything :/

[Emasher]

i knew that wii would only come in white at lanch for a while like moria said.

i actualy wanted a white one if you don't (especialy doctor boo) you could put a skin on it.

i think the baby blue controller was just the white one in a room with bluish light.

i'm going to use the white wii-mote that comes with my console the other controller will be my sis's so it's not my choice.

i wonder if it would look coon using a white wii-mote and a black nunchuck

[raven_blade2006]

Of course there will be a black Wii in the future. Anything to boost sales will do. A new colour usually has the this effect. Besides IGN did a poll a while back and it was very close in choice of colour between White and Black consoles. Its better to satisfy the masses.

For now though they should concentrate on producing as much White Wii's as possible. Multiple colour variations would slow down manufacturing.

[Sméagol]

First of all, I'm confident they'll release black sooner or later, around march would be a good time. I want a black one (and I'm no goth either by the way), and I'll get a black one. I probably don't have the money at launch to buy a white one anyway. However, if I do have the money, I was thinking of maybe buying a white one (at launch) for the whole family, and put that one in the living room. Maybe I can get my parents to join in on the action, allthough I doubt it, they both only touched my consoles once, my mom tried some Super Mario Bros 2 back in the days, my dad some Starfox 64, I don't think they'll be up for any swinging and waving, but you never know! The white one will never see the inside of my room though, but if I do get a white one, and buy the black one later, I'm all set up for LAN action.

[McPhee]

Its a simple marketing/production thing, if they launced with Black and White they'd end up running out of stock with one colour and being left with an abundance of the other colour and a load of brassed off customers (think it happened with the black GC in some stores)

[Cubechris]

It will be available in more than one colour. In Time.

[Tellyn]

Is it possible to customise with add-ons like the Xbox360?

[The Peeps]

I wanted black as it's going to be sitting in between my black Cube and N64... I suppose it will stand out a bit more now though.

Actually I still hadn't decided whether to have black or white, at least now the decision is made for me ::shrug:

But you won't need your Cube any more!! ::shrug:

[Zechs Merquise]

I think the white one looks very cool, and it looks very modern. The black one will come out, no question of it. Lets all be happy, I mean it's not PURPLE is it! Whereas lots of people have issues over the graphics, how anyone can have issues over the look and colour of the console is beyond me.

Personally, I think this is the coolest looking of all the next gen systems.

[The Peeps]

I cant really be bothered trading it in for 50p :P

Did you not just completely contradict yourself right there......:p

[Zechs Merquise]

lol, what I meant to say is how can anyone have issues over the look and colour of the Wii - as I think it's gorgeous!

I had lots of issues of the purple colour of the gamecube, I thought it looked bad, but I think the Wii looks great!

Yes...because it's not also bad for consoles to put them in sunlight!!:hmm: And esp not bad for the Wii & Sensor Bar.

Hmm...you know what's bad about a toaster?...is you can't use it in that bath:indeed:


But you won't need your Cube any more!! ::shrug:
How do you know that??
1/2 their collection of games could be US/Jap.

[Librarian]

take casing of Wii... paint it black... voila

[mcj metroid]

Honestly i never thought people cared about this sort of thing but then i saw the blue light thread and i gave in......im getting white if ihave to...but i dont care lol.

[BowserBasher]

I have personally preferred the white colour over the black Wii. Maybe it's because I have a white DSLite and I want them to match, or that it is just the fact that they have shown the white Wii more than a black one.

[That Guy]

Personally I think it should be released in the same colours as the DS, so people can mix and match.

[DiemetriX]

I wan't one in black >_<

[flameboy]

I cant really be bothered trading it in for 50p :P

£25 I got for mine at Gamestation, thats not be scoffed at, thats nearly another game, or a whole wiimote

[Hellfire]

Don't worry, colors will come eventually.

[ShadowV7]

I will always keep my little Cube of joy :)

[Nintendo Fan]

i wanted a Black Wii more. the blue light looks better on it, imo. Oh well its only a color, the games dont change i still get zelda ^_^

[Jasper]

I seriously love the apple white. The reason people are going for Apple White is to make the shape more visable, less then the color. The Black one will launch, just like every Nintendo console did in the past. As said before, it doesn't sound stupid to make one color because people can't chose that way and will probably go for a Wii rather thena Black Wii or a White Wii. I really do like the color and it's gone perfectly blend in with my sleek white iBook and iPod.

[The3rdChildren]

White is alright for me. It'll go with my Xbox 360.
