And the Japanese Club Nintendo

UnbreakableVow

Oh man.

Can't really see much of that new Classic Controller but it looks slick.

TechBoy

Holy Fuck.

I've been waiting for a colored Wii since forever. This needs to hit the States yesterday so I can buy one right now.

maximumzero

Fuck Nintendo. Give me some options other than Blue & Black for the DSi.

I'd buy the Red or the White in a heartbeat if you released it here.

If I buy the Blue one now I'm fucking stuck with it because the moment I start buying stuff on the DSi shop it's tied to that system forever.

Fuck.

Homestar Gunner

Obviously I'm not going to replace my Wii, but I'd buy a black Wiimote in a heartbeat.


edit: What are the odds that two people would use the phrase "in a heartbeat" back to back? Weird.

I came in here to say exactly this.

The black wii needs a red light not a blue one, but otherwise it looks awesome.

Now I'm imagining a Wii force gripping someone for turning it off or not playing it enough.

Evander

I always wanted a black Wii.

There's no way to transfer all of my VC and WiiWare games between Wiis, right?

I mean, I have a launch console, so it's already out of warranty, and replacing it with somethign fresher wouldn't be the worst idea in the world.

But I don't want to lose my games.

do you live near redmond or an other nintendo service center? i've heard that they'll do transfers for free

Darlan

The black goes really well with the blue lights. That is one sexy looking console. Of course, buying a second console just for the colors is frighteningly retarded, but this is great for people still looking to buy a Wii.

Not unless they have a service center in DC that I'm unaware of.

Bartholamue

That looks like a better classic controller.

Serious_Scrub

Black looks pretty good
I'm iffy about the new classic controller, as the outward-facing handles will just get in the way when trying to use the analog sticks
Also, can we get a translation on the club nintendo picture? 5000 sounds like the price of wii sports resort + motion+, but what does the blue controller and nunchuck have to do with it?

Nuzak

i hear black wiis are bigger

Renzo

When do we get that improved classic controller?

Xagarath

If the classic controller bundle somehow comes out over here, I believe I'll be getting one.

el_vicio

The Monster Hunter bundle will make Japan explode.


edit:
All I really want is a lime green remote. Love my green Lite, and got me a lime strap for the mote..

Obs

Oh god damnit, this shit would look great in my new entertainment center

but I really don't want to buy another Wii just for the color.


Maybe my current Wii will have an "accident"

When we stop being non-Japanese, of course.

What is this Monster Hunter? The box itself makes me want to emigrate to Japan.

Actually you don't capture/train any of them, you hunt them for parts to craft your equipment. There are character classes like a swordsman, a gunner etc. It's a pseudo-MMO and one of the best looking Wii games.

Such a better controller, holy shit. Release that bad boy over here and I'd buy another Wii in a heartbeat.

It's going to be a big end of the year for Nintendo in Japan.

I might get the Wii Monster Hunter. I picked up the PSP one but I didn't really enjoy it. But I tend to enjoy console games more than handheld games.

THEPAIN73

I would get a black wii but damn you Nintendo for not splitting the market sooner... like when I bought my Wii.

I would get a new classic controller. I want one of those with the backs. Where do you get those from?

A better comparison is "medieval Phantasy Star Online."

That black Wii is really sexy, but people are really willing to sell off an old console and buy the new one just for the color? I can understand a portable system, maybe, but a home console that just sits next to your TV (or in my case, behind the TV)?

SAW776

If they had a way like with PS3 where you can have your games on multiple consoles, or if it was like iTunes and you could de-authorize an account, I would probably give my white wii to my parents and pick up one of these, since it would match my PS3 and tv oh-so-nicely.

Unfortunately I'm not sure I want to give up the games I bought via VC (not that it was a ton, but still.)

As a guy who has 37 VC games. I can't justify this new purchase unless I can transfer EVERYTHING.

SAW776

I'm hoping when they release the new color that they'll also come out with a way to transfer. It makes no sense not to. Perhaps they'll allow you to input the codes from both your Wiis and the system will transfer over ownership so you can re-download them on the new one?

Edit: As in, input it once for the whole system, not once per game. that'd suck.

Lunker

Oh Jesus. The red DSi comes out the same day as Dragon Quest IX?

Dodge Aspen

That shit be hot. I'd probably buy a black Remote and maybe a chuk. The Classic Pro is pretty cool, but I use my original so seldom it wouldn't be worth it.

Remember back before there were any online games on the Wii, and we were all, the Wii has its own friend code, there's no way they'll put individual codes in each game you want to play online!

I think you know what they would do if they did allow a transfer.

It really isn't like phantasy star even. It is so funny I have been in dozens of conversations about what Monster Hunter is on these boards and it is still hard to tell people what it plays like. I still think the gameplay is more like Street Fighter than anything else. Though if you removed the leveling mechanic and added in a bunch of crafting the actual combat is very similiar to Demon's Soul. Regardless what it is for sure, is one of the best game frachises ever conceived.

I know there is zero chance of that bundle coming stateside but goddamn... do want sooo badly.
