    The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006. The Wii's main selling point was the innovative use of motion controls that its signature Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers allowed for. It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.

    I'd probably buy one if it was released here. I know that's pretty shallow, but I knew a black 360 was coming right from the get-go, and waited for the Elite.

    It feels pretty great also. I hate the Classic but with one of those on it feels surprisingly good.

    Looks great. A bit too similar to the PS3 in the colour scheme though.

    It's not being released in the U.S as well? Huh, that is a little strange. We never get exclusives most of the time. Except a European Extreme on Metal Gear Solid but that only exists to frustrate us.

    On another note, this supposed Limited Edition  (-old Nintendo ploy), will likely mean Nintendo will have the most popular Christmas gift for third year running here in the UK...

    I'm waiting until they release a Camouflage Wii that comes with (hopefully) the next Metal Gear Solid 3 sequel thing, or AC!D 3.

    It has around for a while.  They just added the hand parts.  I have been waiting for a local release of that controller before I buy one.

    Yeah, it's just a conventional Classic Controller which has a cradle attached that adds the hand grips.. It uses that  mechanism on the back of the Classic to attach and release..

    Good things come to those who wait... and I sort of wish I did. It looks gorgeous, but there's no way I'm spending another £180 on a console I already own.
     
    Nintendo should of had the black Wii from the start, in my opinion.

    It's not just a conventional classic controller, the design is different, I believe the handles are build-in rather than attached. They've also changed the shoulder buttons removing the (never used?) analog functionality and positioning and shaping them better. They've done other minor adjustments to the button placement and the analog stick placement to suit the needs of CAPCOM (or specifically the Monster Hunter team).

    It's also a new plastic material researched and developed by Nintendo as apparently they weren't satisfied with the existing look and feel of black plastic products. Overkill or awesome? I'm leaning to the latter...

    Well my only experience of it was at a Capcom Monster hunter thing in London, and they were attached to the demo pod. It was hard to tell if they were attached or not because of a bracket holding the controller. The shoulder buttons did seem different, but if they've moved the sticks, I cannot say I noticed that, it's certainly not clearly apparent. They must have moved them very slightly over the original.

    They're wider apart basically. No overlapping anymore, which could possibly occur in a game like MH (moving right, moving camera left).

    Clearly not a cradle, I guess I've had that cheap Nyko model in my mind which does use one.

    Just curious, are you going to go back over the many thousands of threads on Giantbomb and do the same thing, or is this one special?  You really aren't adding any value to the thread, so why exactly are you posting?

    good point, however I'm just giving a heads up because things like this are cluttering up the forums at the moment quite a bit. Also the 'flag' option doesn't seem to be working right now for some strange reason
