Nintendo's Wiimote / Nunchucks to get colorful makeover?

We'd highly suggest taking this one with a not-so-healthy does of salt, but according to "wholesale data" originating in the European market, colorful Wiimotes and Nunchucks could be on the horizon. If you'll recall, this isn't the first speculation that we've seen regarding the Big N and a rainbow selection, and unfortunately for everyone, none of those claims have yet to materialize. The data, however, suggests that Nintendo could be releasing Wiimotes / Nunchucks in silver, blue, and "pearl pink" flavors, and while pricing would likely be lower here in the States, Europeans would purportedly end up paying €40 (about $54) and €20 ($27), respectively. The completely unconfirmed distribution date is listed for June 29th, so unless Nintendo pulls one over on us and looses these early, we'll be waiting some time yet to see if this colorful hunch pans out.

I'm not too sure on that "pearl pink", it looks a tad bit too black to me

The picture isn't of the reported "new colors", those are the colors that were already announced.

You know - it would be nice if Nintendo would focus on getting enough Wiis out there to meet demand before trying to find ways to increase demand...

This is really old. I spotted this on www.wiicolors.com about a month after the wii came out.

I don't see why Nintendo wouldn't, after all they had many different GameCube controller colors. Platinum, Jet, Indigo, and that orange Spice color to name them all.
