Nintendo unveils light blue Wii remote with MotionPlus, for select Japanese Wii Sports Resort owners only

Just great, more hue-enhanced Wii hardware that we in North America will very likely never get. After teasing us with that kuro (i.e. jet black) Wii and matching classic controller, Nintendo's announced a light blue sleeved Wii remote, nunchuk, and motion plus set that'll be given out to five thousand members of its Japanese Club Nintendo program who have registered Wii Sports Resort. Historically, Club Nintendo gifts have only made their way stateside via unofficial channels, so if you're desperate for a non-white peripheral and using paint is absolutely out of the question, we suggest you keep a close eye on eBay and hope the House that Mario Built takes a cue from its portable line sooner rather than later.

Why put news like this on here? I mean if you're not going to have regular video game/gaming related news, why bother posting that Nintendo is releasing a very limited, different colored controller? I honestly don't understand.

Blue Wii... The jokes are limitless... =D

This is totally pointless. Who wants a powder blue wii-mote anyways? It's not even a good shade of blue. I would rather have the black. Or red for that matter. That way it would actually match all the other controllers I have laying around. Noone is impressed by a powder blue wii-mote. Not even in San Francisco.

Touche.

*ahem*

I've never understood why people care about what color this stuff is anyway. You're probably doing something wrong if you're looking at the controller and not the TV screen.

[HektikLyfe @ Jun 16th 2009 11:48AM]

I don't know if its just a bad ad but the color looks like a tinted B&W photo. The clear plastic Wii Condom shouldn't be color, it's clear.

Perhaps there WILL be a blue Wii-mote but I don't believe this is an actual image of it. Does it claim to be anywhere?

Kinda cool, but you'd need a blue wii to go with it! http://www.console-price.co.uk/wii-sports-resort
