Pink and blue Wii Remotes ready for Valentine's Day pre-order

Nintendo may be a lot of things, but stupid it ain't. Cashing in on yet another gift-giving holiday, the console sales leader is bringing Americans a pair of freshly paint-licked Wii Remotes that should appeal to the his-and-hers demographic that seems to grow in number at this time of year. As you can see above, grabbing one will set you back $54.99, which is about the same price as the regular MotionPlus bundle. So, even if you weren't thinking about wooing your loved one with yet another Wii peripheral, at least the US now gets a 200 percent improvement in MotionPlus color choices. How is that not progress?

Good idea, many consumers will fall into the trap as it is an 'easy way' out in regards to multi sex gifts. The MotionPlus will attract them first and thus after the colour will, showing an ideal product!

Seems like the MotionPlus are still white. Only the remotes are different colors.

@Chu

Yeah... did we miss something? And why would they ship ON the 14th? That's not really cashing in.

But, I thought we played Videogames because we dont know how to talk to girls....

*confused...

@Wesscoast

After further reading, I get it.. you're supposed to buy it for your sister. Got it.

"the US now gets a 200 percent improvement in MotionPlus color choices"

This statement seems to be untrue based on the picture.

[42 Posted Jan 19th 2010 4:53AM]

Because nothing says "I love you" like a Wiimote with MotionPlus...

um, no.

I tend to disagree with your statement about Nintendo not being "stupid," and look forward to picking up a couple of these sappy-colored Wiimotes when they're clearanced out because NO ONE WANTS THEM.

Is that a pair of hi-tech dildos?

[kitsune Posted Jan 19th 2010 5:04AM]

@Unverified User
even better, Motion Plus dildos.

I want to have sex on V'day...therefor this is no way near the top 100 potential gifts for my gf

Pink Wii mote means she's pregnant!!! Blue means, try again!!!!

[Dusty Posted Jan 19th 2010 8:36PM]

@XciteMe
LOL!

Shipping ON 2/14? What kind of a crappy gift is that? "Hey honey - I bought you a new pink remote, but you can't have it yet. Happy Valentine's Day!"

That, and they're ugly.

[toddjy Posted Jan 20th 2010 1:14AM]

@kevout
I think the idea is that it ships and arrives on Valentine's Day.

[tjrohleder Posted Jan 19th 2010 9:35AM]

I can't imagine wanting to purchase (ever) a remote that was anything other than the standard white.

"To each his own," I guess.

I bought the black remote bundle, and a matching nanchuck. I'd like to add blue (but not that shade) and red, but I already have four white pluses, so I'll skip the bundle.

Clear blue and pink, do these remind anyone else of home pregnancy tests?
