"When we announce the launch date, price and specific components to be included in the package, we will also discuss the color variations." - Nintendo statement

My word, is there actually hope for more than just the white Wii U at launch? Nintendo, don't go getting me excited!

[LegendofSantiago]

Please, black at launch! (or even at least something with this color)

[Triforce of the Gods]

Black black black black black black black black

[OprahFTWinfrey]

This pretty much confirms there'll be more than one.

[Windsor]

I don't have a problem with a white Wii-U, it's the one I'm looking to pick up in fact, but that blue 3DS is specifically why I hope everyone gets their preferred color at launch. I'd have killed for a solid white 3DS or that blue one right there.

[Delta46]

I really would like a black Wii U at launch. Black consoles look really nice under my TV.

[Hyawatta]

I'm waiting for the silver 3DS XL.

[superjavado]

What would complement the blue WiiU boxes would be a blue WiiU.

[Barto]

I would hope they would see by now the demand for black at launch along with white.

Please make it happen!

[Diortem7]

I hope black will be a launch color. I'm not buying a Wii U until the black version comes out.

Agreed. The white Wii stuff gets too dirty. My analog stick on my wii nunchuck is filthy; which is fine on the nunchuck because its so cheap to replace. I'm not about to have a busted up dirty analog stick $70 Wii U GamePad though.

[Mirr0rR3flection]

Black better be available at launch Nintendo.

I refuse to buy another ugly white dusty console. At least with black nothing shows.

[LittleKingsWii]

My thoughts: Give me a black Wii U or GTFO.

I just want more of a choice of color this time that I didn't get to have with Wii in it's early life.

[Mike_Intellivision]

Don't be too anxious for black... or else it might get priced higher 8*>

That being said, I want a black WiiU.

Black or no buy from me. All my other electronics I have are black, so anything else will stick out like a sore thumb.

[Turner4590]

Am I seriously the ONLY one that wants a white one...

Not the only one...

"hardcore" gamers just prefer black and "casuals" prefer white.

[Hawk]

I also want it in black.

But let's face it, we all know how North America gets treated when it comes to color selections. Japan will launch with several options, and North America will get only white. Then, immediately after I buy a color I don't want, newer and better colors will be announced.

Actually when it comes to consoles, all territories get the same color(s).
Believe it or not the world was given white Wiis, no exception.

No Nintendo console has launched with different colors in different territories.

Handhelds that is a different story.

Way to assume. I want it to match my 3DS (the Wii matched my DS Lite). And black looks cooler than white.

It's not an assumption.

After 15 years, they should know to release a console in black at launch and having a purple free launch.

Microsoft incurred a huge gamer backlash for launching 360 in white.
Nintendo incurred an even bigger gamer backlash for having a white Wii for the first 2 years.

Sony was given huge praise from gamers for launching in black for their systems.

[Ragnarokstorymaker]

I think the fact that they are even acknowledging different colors kind of solidifies black at launch.

Been then again, I do recall seeing a black Wii waaayyyy before it was ever available to consumers, so, you never know.

[NeroSuferoth]

I won't buy if black is not available... I won't have another shovel looking console.

[Johnknight1]

White and Black are probably going to launch in nearly every region.

The colors I want are silver (like the GameCube), platinum, and especially gold.

[Elfteiroh]

I don't care about the color, but if there is one, I'll take the black.
