The black Wii will be identical to the white one except for the color (there won't be any differences when it comes to the gameplay), with a bundle that includes not only the Wii, a Wii remote and Wii Sports, but also a copy of Wii Sports Resort and a Wii MotionPlus upgrade for more precise controls. The bundle will reportedly be priced at $199.

Nintendo's previous home console (GameCube) and its current portable device (DS) have been made available in numerous colors, but this will be the first time the Wii will get a wide release of a non-white color in the United States or Canada. The black Wii has been available in Japan since last year.

Although Nintendo hasn't officially confirmed a launch date, it seems likely we'll soon see the black Wii soon given there are sources at multiple retailers and the product is already available overseas.
