After over three years of release, the Nintendo Wii finally has a new colorway, a slick black headed to U.S. retail shelves on May 9th.
So far the date has been confirmed by Target and GameStop in the U.S., and confirmed for May 23rd in Canada by Future Shop.
The Wii itself will be completely identical to the white model currently available (minus the color, obviously) and will come bundled with a Wii remote, Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort and a Wii MotionPlus for $199.
The black colorway has been available in Japan since late last year, and has sold pretty well.
Worldwide, Nintendo has sold 70 million Wii units.

The popular Canadian retailer Future Shop has announced they have dropped the price of the Zune 8GB to $100 CAD, down from $150.
The deal will last for the next week on all colors and will prove to be a large undercut on American retailers and other Canadian retailers’ current prices. As of September, Microsoft’s official MSRP for the product is $150 CAD.
It is unclear whether Microsoft or Future Shop prompted the deal but it is odd to see a product at such a high discount while it is still relatively new and not a clearance item.
Future Shop is also selling the 120GB model Zune for $234 CAD, $16 CAD lower than the MSRP.
