We’ve been waiting for various color Wiis and Wiimotes for awhile now and even though Nintendo gave us a black Wii and blue Wiimote in select locations, the company hasn’t offered any other colors.

Hopefully, that will all change soon. Over in Japan, at a small retailer event, the company revealed that a blue and pink Wiimote will hit Japan on December 3rd. Pricing is unknown. It’s also unknown if they will offer any other colors besides the blue and pink.

Just when you think that you’ve seen it all with the Wii, some Wii accessories can still surprise you. The $50 Darth Vader Nintendo Wii Sensor Bar Holder is just what it sounds like. It holds your sensor bar and makes it look like a lightsaber. Sorta.

So while you are swinging that Wiimote, you can imagine Vader encouraging you to use the force and join the darkside. You of course will shout NEVERRRRR and all of your friends will get scared and leave. It’s not your fault Vader only speaks to you and that no one else can hear him.

The latest news to hit us from the Tokyo Game Show is this new limited edition Wii Sport Resort bundle that comes with a pair of MotionPlus accessories. The bundle will arrive on October 12th for $60.

So you save $10 if you bought the $50 Sport Resort with MotionPlus and a second $20 MotionPlus separately. Not Earth shattering news, but it’s something from the big N. Wii Sports Resort has already sold more than 1.25 million units in the United States alone, so it’s the least they could do.

Looks like the rumors were true. Nintendo’s Wii is about to get its first price drop after great sales for three years straight. The console has been sold for $249.99, but on September 27th the Wii will be priced at just $199.99.

Apparently an official announcement is expected this Friday, with retail stores beginning to sell at the new price on Sunday. Great time to get a Wii if you haven’t already taken the plunge.

The Wii has some good titles, but I can’t say that it has many great titles. And playing in 480p has been disappointing. And where have the good games been lately? It makes sense to wonder if the big N has a console refresh coming soon.

Yoichi Wada, president of Square Enix seems to think that there’s a new Wii coming. He also predicts that Microsoft and Sony’s motion efforts won’t be “truly successful.”

According to Wada, the next-generation HD Wii will have the same capabilities as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and this new Wii will also add a new motion controller. Sadly we have to wait until 2011, like previous rumors have stated.

Now when you throw your Wiimote at the TV, you can do so in style. This plastic football accessory might even make Madden sell better on the Wii. It comes from CTA Digital, the company behind the Wii bowling ball and iPhone steering wheel. They are no strangers to weird accessories.

This Football for your Wii opens up to hold your Wiimote and the face buttons of your controller are on top of the football. It’s compatible with Madden 10, Madden 09 All-Play, NCAA Football 09 All-Play, and several other football games.

If you’ve been waiting for some official word from Nintendo on the Wii price cut, here’s some good news. A Nintendo fan site who was listening in on a conference call claims that the company confirmed a $50 cut for Sept. 27.

Yes, it’s confusing and unconfirmed and not official at all. Nintendo hasn’t said a word to anyone aside from this alleged call. All should be revealed soon and we’ll let you know when we have more info.

Last week it was a Toys R Us ad showing the Wii for a Wii-diculous $199. Now a Best Buy ad showing off the same price has surfaced. It could be phoshopped, we’ll just have to wait and see.

But given the recent drop in demand for the system, along with the fact that the PS3 and Xbox have both had price cuts, it seems like we are glimpsing the not so distant future. What’s $50 to Nintendo? They’re making a ton of money on Wiimotes alone.

Weekly newspaper ads are pretty easy to fake, but we have a feeling that this one is real and if that’s the case, it means we’re getting a Wii price cut on September 27th. Either that or someone at Toys R Us has been hitting the crack pipe.

If it’s not true and you can expect a price cut next holiday season rather than this holiday season. Just be patient and we will see what Santa brings us. The other guys got a price cut, so Nintendo would naturally want to stay competitive.

Game console makers apparently entertain every single idea, no matter how silly. The latest patent dreamed up by the big N is a football accessory that holds a Wiimote and nunchuk. The idea is that it could determine throwing angle, power and direction as well as body movements, which are then translated to the game.

It beats an inflatable horse, but do we really need to be breaking more TVs, with fake footballs? It’s just a patent, but you never know. We may see this one down the road. Good idea or not.

Tomorrow the folks at MediaMall will officially announce the beta release of PlayOn for Wii. The software license costs $39.99 and there’s also a 14-day free trial so you can try it out first and decide if you like watching Hell’s Kitchen and the like on your Wii.

Me, I’d rather play some Mario Kart. PlayOn for Wii works in the same way as it does for the other game systems and streams Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and a few other online video portals from your Windows XP or Vista computer to the Wii plugged into your TV.

We’re as bummed as you are that Nintendo’s black Wii isn’t coming to the US. I mean look at that beautiful dark console. It’s like a stealth Wii. A thing to behold and ponder like a work of art…

It’s sad. Very sad that the Big N doesn’t love us here in the States. But don’t worry, apparenty the black console has hit the gray-market import scene. You know what that means, you’ll have to pay a premium at $333.

Nintendo has been rolling in the Wii dough for awhile now, but it looks like their cash printing machine may be slowing. According to an earnings report filed today, the Big N posted a 66 percent drop in quarterly operating profit due to “slowing demand for its Wii console and a stronger yen.”

What’s surprising is how fast demand has fallen. Nintendo maintained that it would sell 26 million Wii consoles before the year was out alongside 30 million DS handhelds, so we will see what happens. DS sales have also slowed due to “increased competition in the handheld business from Apple’s iPhone.”

Conventional CPR training is about to get an overhaul with the use of PCs and the Wii. Currently it’s a concept technology and it has been under development by the University of Alabama at Birmingham since the beginning of this year.

The idea is that when you push on ResusciAnne’s chest, the motion controlled joystick interprets it as correct or incorrect chest compressions and lets you know. A working prototype was created last Spring, and the American Heart Association has pledged $50,000 in grant money. The Wii CPR software could be available for download as early as this Fall. It would be an open source code so the user can program it to their own specifications.

You know the old saying, once you go Wii black you never go back. Sadly, we will never know if that’s true or not. Why? We can only assume that Nintendo hates God, America and Apple pie. Sigh. Fans have been waiting for a Wii of any color other than white for years. And it looks like we will go on waiting.

A Nintendo rep told GameDaily that there are “no plans to have other colors of the Wii in the United States.” Like many of you I will always remember what I was doing on that fateful day our Wii dreams died. Today. It is a sad day for our nation.
