If you want license transferring I might suggest sending your feedback to Nintendo:

About damn time! After seeing the black Wii being teased at launch, it's hard to believe we FINALLY get it here in the US......in TWO THOUSAND AND TEN!

Literally (as the first unveiling of the black Wii was E3 2005 in May), it will have been almost exactly five years later. Gotdamn, Nintendo.

 

[red shoe paul]

If I was to buy one, I'd get the Silver.
More waiting for me.

 

[DJ Lushious]

If I didn't already have to split up my limited free time between the PS3 and Three-Sexy, I'd be all over this.

 

[mjc]

I think I might have to rebuy a Wii this time around.

 

[cacildo]

Black? For the Wii?

Man, i hated that game.

 

[mr.beers]

Speaking of colors has the Pink Wiimote been out for sometime?

 

[JaMarco]

FU Nintendo

 

[Nizz]

Finally, the black Wii makes its way here to the US. Will be getting one down the road for sure. Not really a fan of white consoles. I like my electronics in black.

 

[Princess Skittles]

Speaking of colors has the Pink Wiimote been out for sometime?

Not really, it's been out just about a month.

 

[Mejilan]

*sigh*
Indeed, 4 years too late.
I'd LOVE to have a black Wii, especially now that I'm sporting a black Wiimote, black WM+, black Nunchuk, and black CCPro. But I'm not going to double-dip on hardware, particularly since my current Wii is a launch unit and so, the most homebrew-friendly.

 

[cws]

FU Nintendo

Yes - fuck those new color option and more content for the same price...

 

[jetsetfluken]

Maybe if Nintendo had a way to transfer Wii Shop purchases to another console I'd be happy to make the "upgrade".
(edit: Without the dodgy contacting Nintendo process)

Still need to get a JAPANESE Black Wii though.

 

[evangd007]

Is it possible to transfer data to a new wii? So I could sell off an old white one for a black? If so, may buy..

I heard that if you bitch and moan to tech support enough then they will cave and let you do it. You gotta send both Wiis to Nintendo to do so, however. You could also lie through your teeth and say that your (perfectly functional) old Wii won't turn on, but you have a new black one and want to transfer the data and account information. This all would be helped if you have associated your Wii with a Club Nintendo account as well.

 

[Mudkips]

Black Wii
Black Wiimote
Black Nunchuck
White Motion Plus?

:lol

Wait, where'd you get a black M+??

 

[Struct09]

Wait, where'd you get a black M+??

The black Wii Remotes are sold with a black Wii MotionPlus

 

[Vizion28]

I don't see the point of buying a whole new Wii just for the sake of the color.

Can't you buy 3rd party face plates or Wii covers which is much cheaper?

 

[ZeoVGM]

Kind of lame that the pink and blue ones don't follow suit.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Black? For the Wii?

Man, i hated that game.

Wut? Sure, it had problems. Notably dumb AI, tacky Black Ops story and that bridge mission, but it was a technical showpiece. That destruction tech was out of this world at the time.

 

[linkboy]

That's what I did, just bought a replacement case.

I'm got to much invested in my current Wii to just throw it away for a new color. Its also matte instead of glossy.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Black Nunchuck

:lol

Just get a black sleeve, no-one will ever know. Plus it's a lot more comfortable, you can really get your mitts round it.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Am I the only one who thought this was going to be a port of Criterion's FPS for Wii?

No reason for me to double dip, unless I sell my white one. Hmm...

 

[Silver_DNA]

Dang it, I just bought mine 3 years ago.

 

[makingmusic476]

I wanted this at launch, but nooo.

I would buy one if I could transfer my hundreds of dollars of VC/WW titles.

:\

Yeah. =/

 

[captmcblack]

I don't have any VC titles in my current Wii, but I do have saved games I'd love to unlock and have present on the Black Wii I am definitely buying on launch...

 

[Mejilan]

You can negate save file copy protection via homebrew.
Check out Clipper's tutorial in the massive homebrew page for more details (you'll find a link to the tutorial at least once per page, if not much more).

 

[Marvie_3]

So tempting. My launch Wii isn't the most reliable so I may just keep that as a VC machine and buy a new black one.

 

[SapientWolf]

If it wasn't such a fingerprint magnet the black one would be really nice.

Stop touching your Wii.

 

[wizword]

once you go black you never come back.

 

[Osuwari]

at this point, i'm double dipping only if my current wii has another malfunction (disk drive died 1 year ago and i got it fixed)
i prefer a complete refresh once it gives me more problems.

 

[jooey]

wow, shots fired

it's just black.

 

[GotEmRunnin]

I'm getting one.

 

[Malio]

people are excited about this? A black WII?

REALLY?

 

[cws]

how about reading the thread before postin ?

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Nope, and the #1 reason I'll never... ever buy any WiiWare game. It's bullshit that it's tied to the system and not the user.

 

[Dacvak]

Spoiler

Just for fun.

 

[donny2112]

I think you're talking about being able to copy saves to an SD card? If so, that doesn't help, as he still couldn't use the save on a different Wii.

Nope, and the #1 reason I'll never... ever buy any WiiWare game.

Having a lot of people who buy a second system and want to transfer their DLC to a new Wii should spur Nintendo to get an official method out sooner rather than later. Of course, "sooner" for Nintendo may just mean that they'll have it in two years instead of three. :lol

 

[Epcott]

Would get, but Wii2 will be announced E3

Spoiler

Ha ha, yeah right. I will be getting a Black Wii to go with my entertainment entertainment set up. Guess there's no need to invest in a case

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Spoiler

Scopes thread to verify no one using my response

Spoiler

Confirmed

DAS RACIST

 

[esquire]

Color aside, that's an insanely good deal!

I was on the fence between a Wii and a Xbox but I don't see Microsoft matching the value offered by the Wii even if they release a slim revision of the 360 hardware.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Great, Nintendo! Let's launch Wii Black with Mario because he sure needs help, but not Monster Hunter 3.

 

[donny2112]

MH3 got it in Japan. You think launching three weeks after MH3 won't help MH3 any? Maybe it'll help boost its legs as non-Wii owners might have a reason to jump in and get it with the Black CCPro (which MH3 got).

 

[jrricky]

Hmmm....I've never actually tried holding the wii while i play, i usually just leave it under the telly.

:lol :lol

How do you double post 8 minutes later?

:lol :lol :lol

Just reading all those out it my head with different tones and expressions cracks the shit out of me.

 

[Lunchbox]

i have a black wii

in my PANTS

 

[Vilix]

REALLY?

A better question is who isn't excited about this?

 

[Mush]

It took them this long to play the colour card?

Godamn.

Also,

Black? For the Wii?

Man, i hated that game.
