[Technik]

From Nintendo dot com. ( It helps to look there once in a while )

Nintendo today announced that the new Wii Fit Plus game will launch in North America on Oct. 4, and also revealed new colors for its popular Nintendo DSi system and for the revolutionary Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers and Wii MotionPlus accessory. Starting Sept. 13, Nintendo DSi will be available in White and Pink, joining the Blue and Black versions already on the market. Additionally, this holiday season, Nintendo will release a new Black version of the Wii Remote bundled with a Black version of the Wii MotionPlus accessory, which brings precise motion control to games that have been designed for it. A Black version of the Nunchuk controller also will be available for the holidays.

Nintendo of America President & COO Reggie Fils-Aime made these announcements in his keynote address at the 2009 GameStop Manager Conference.

"All of these announcements bring more options and more choices to consumers as our industry heads into its busiest time of the year," Fils-Aime said. "Each of these products allows consumers to enjoy a more personal gaming experience, no matter how they choose to play."

Here are the details of today's announcements:

• Wii Fit Plus: This enhanced version of the top-selling game offers a range of new features, along with new exercises, yoga activities and balance games designed to keep workouts fun. For the first time, users can customize their workouts to target specific areas of their bodies or to fill specific intervals of time. Wii Fit Plus will replace the current Wii Fit configuration at retail, and will be bundled with the Wii Balance Board accessory at a suggested retail price of $99.99. For people who currently own Wii Fit and want to add the expanded options to their fitness regimen, the Wii Fit Plus disc will be available on its own at a suggested retail price of $19.99.

• White and Pink Nintendo DSi colors: The two new colors give consumers even more options to personalize their experiences. All models of the Nintendo DSi hardware come with two cameras and interactive options to let users create and manipulate pictures or sound in fun and creative ways. All versions of Nintendo DSi are available at a suggested retail price of $169.99.

• Wii Remote and Wii MotionPlus Black bundle: The Black bundle is the first new color for the Wii Remote and Wii MotionPlus.

• Black Nunchuk: The Black Nunchuk will be available as a standalone purchase.

So no red or dark blue or green dsi just the white and pink. And despite all claims of having no plans to release a black Wii here appears to be a bunch of BS. (Baloney Sandawich )
And it appears that Wii fit plus will be sold for $100 and be released october 4th. Which is alot of money. Wouldn't it be cheaper to get the old version which is $60 and then get only the disc of Wii fit plus? ( $20 ) And you would then have too games. Or you could do the smart thing and pirate both and then get a 3rd party BB on the web.

They never lied about bring the black Wii here. Where do you see anything about them bringing the black Wii over? It's just the Wii Remote and Wii MotionPlus.

 

[raulpica]

Yeah, actually they didn't say anything about the Black Wii, just the Remote + Nunchuk.

The balance board is the same in WiiFit+, huh? Might get a old one seeing they'll drop in price thanks to the new bundle
