Sources at three different major retailers (Target, GameStop and Future Shop) have all named May 9 as the U.S. launch date for a black Nintendo Wii bundle, according to Kotaku. The Canadian release will follow on May 23.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 Resortand 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.
