I was expecting a darker Colored blue, not the Blue Wii Remote Blue. Not a big fan of the shade.

You mean more like this blue?

So are the minigames fun ? I watched a YouTube and volleyball looks cool but kind of simple ? And then i saw the boxart has WiFi but what is its purpose ?

The mini-games are fun, of course it varies from person to person. Wi-Fi, if it's like the previous ones; is for leaderboards (no actual online multiplayer).

This should have been the Dragon Quest X Wii, since it's close to the color of the standard slime.

That's what I was thinking. They might still do it for Japan. Actually, I half expect it. Either way, I think there's gonna be a DQX bundle w/ the external flash memory and maybe a classic controller. Would make sense for them to go all out and make it this slime blue too.

The could've done it for DQ Collection, but it's a little late now.

They should do Metal Slime Platinum for DQX.

I want a matt black Wii! Or an off-black dark grey matt Wii. Then my living room can begin to look tasteful. I'm of the post-patent plastic generation.

Blue nunchuk is confirmed?? Looks like I might actually pick up a blue wiimote then since those nunchuks will probably end up on ebay.

There has been similar blue nunchucks on eBay for quite some time for like $5. Of course not official ones; but like the red ones..official ones may go for a higher price as those were available only through bundles.

I'd buy this if it came to the States without the game bundled in. I like the color a lot.

I don't even want this after how bad the Winter Olympics game was. What a shoddy piece of shit compared to the entertaining party game that was the first.

No sale for me.

Sega's mascot on the box of a Nintendo hardware..... Growing up in the 90's - I never thought this day would come.

If you showed this to me 15 years ago I would have assumed it was a bizarre pirate console.

again: yes, it'll be on the box :p

what is sad about a possible golden Wii for Zelda is that it would be one of these inferior, horizontal versions :(

This. I don't like the it on the Wii mote or the very similar DSi color.
Whaaaat, no way. Both the DSi and this are awesome. Has a nice pop art feel to it.
 
Thanks for me visiting this thread for me to notice it is not Sonic Blue. If it were a SEGA console it would be Mario Red and have an M on the top...wait a second...

No, wait, green and silver are still missing...
Apple Green and Platinum are their official namings (based on DS stuff with the same shading).

I've been wrong for so long...I only just noticed it is only White, Red and Black which are the only colours with matching Nunchucks, for some reason I assumed Blue and Oink ones existed in Japan. At least I never got called out.
Edit: I've still not grown out of my P/O typo. That one works really well though
Oink as in Pig; Pigs are Pink; I mean to type Pink...yeah

Red ones are available seperately in Japan. Which it being from Japan makes it a higher price.

A transparent / clear Wii would be the shit...

if $99 and game pack-in, that's it.

But then you'd be able to see the duct tape and the secret would be out! ;-)

Really wish Nintendo would get around to releasing pink/blue nunchuks though - I picked up a red one from Japan to match my red Remote+ and CCPro, but my OCD about these things is nagging at me over the lack of official nunchuks in other colours (and will do again when the gold Remote+ arrives with my copy of Skyward Sword...)

Isn't that the same blue as the stand-alone Wii-motes that you can already buy? It seems like they did it quick and dirty and just used the dye they already had rather than come up with a better one.

Mario and Sonic together is still so very strange... so so strange.
But it's cool and get people to buy the game, hope some day we get a "real" Mario and Sonic crossover.

Gonna be hard to resist this one. Might get rid of my white, get this one and still keep my red one packaged up.
