LOLS! At least the ad firm was smart enough NOT to use a Sony monitor in the background.



Black Wii shown off in Japan

Jun. 16, 2009 (4:12 pm) By: Blake Ellison

After nearly three years on store shelves, Nintendo is finally rolling out a Wii that isn’t an iPod-like shade of white. This one’s black, and like this spring’s red Xbox 360 tied in with Resident Evil 5, the newly darkened Wii will arrive bundled with a new Capcom release.

The image above comes from ”one of Nintendo’s new [ads] showing off just how sexy their new black Wii is,” wrote Capcom blogger Shawn Baxter. Getting a bit shameless, he added, “It’s looking even cooler with Monster Hunter Tri on screen…”

The 33,000 yen bundle ($330) includes a system, a Wii Remote and a Nunchuck all in black, in addition to the third major release in the mega-hit-in-Japan Monster Hunter series of monster-collecting RPGs. The bundle is anticipated to be a resounding success not only for the system’s new color but also for the game: Tri succeeds Monster Hunter Portable 2G (PSP), which has topped Japanese charts for over a year.

Japan gets the Monster Hunter edition Wii on August 8, but Nintendo has yet to announce an American debut of the black console. Since this box includes a Japan-only game, don’t expect it to cross the pond anytime soon.

The wii was only good for getting hammered and playing bowling with a group of friends. Any serious gaming is not to be had with this system

LOL. That's exactly what we use it for too. Wii bowling ftw.

But the black console is pretty freaking awesome.
