Nintendo has announced that a new black version of its popular video game console Wii will be arriving in August. Those of you who have held up on buying the original white colour themed Wii for the past two years may now finally be tempted to a make purchase.

Though there won’t be any changes in terms of hardware, I must say that the black Wii as well as its black Wiimote pictured looks amazing.

Unfortunately, so far, its only been said that the all black Wii will be arriving in Japan in August. Pricing wise, in Japan the console and its accessories will cost as follows: Wii system ($260), Wii remote ($40), Wii Nunchaku ($19) and Wii classic controller ($21).

As our friends at Geeky Gadgets have pointed out, considering how popular the Wii is here in the UK we wouldn’t be surprised when Nintendo finally announces that they would have even more colours once this “colouring trend” arrives everyone else worldwide.
