Right when Nintendo finally puts some black on your Wiimote, Nyko is dropping four new candy colors for its Wand Wii remote.

Looks like Nyko is following Nintendo closely, offering the same blue and pink color choices that Nintendo is offering in Japan. There’s also black and purple. They should be available now for $29.99.

Word is that NVIDIA has won a contract with Nintendo for an upcoming handheld game console. Some are describing it as the “successor of the DS/DSi”. Speculation is that the new device would be available around 2010. If true, would this be the current Tegra? Or the next-generation Tegra?

The DSi isn’t that old, so I’m wondering if we are really talking about the next Wii here. Even if it is for a handheld, this would certainly give a nVidia a foot in the door for the next Wii. It’s just rumor for now, but interesting.

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.

Nintendo just announced that they will be releasing three new colors for the Nintendo DSi, which are scheduled to arrive in Europe on October 23rd. The colors are metallic blue, light blue and red versions of the DSi to compliment the already available black and white models.

But wait, there’s more. With the new colors comes a firmware update that will include the new Flipnote Studio and Facebook feature pre-installed.

Here’s an interesting eBook from Asus dubbed the eee-Book, sporting two color displays that lets you flip the pages like you would on a real book. Think of it as a large Nintendo DS on it’s side. You can also browse the web on one of the displays, presumably while reading on the other.

It connects using 3G or Wifi, comes with a memory card slot and supports Skype audio/video conferencing. The price is a really nice $165. Look out Kindle! That’s about all the info we have right now, but we like what we see.

That black Nintendo Wii console that popped up not so long ago looked pretty cool, the problem was the console never made it to America for those tired of the white version we can get. Nintendo President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime announced at a conference that we will at least be getting some new color accessories for the Wii and new DSi colors.

A black Wii Remote, Wii Motion Plus, and Nunchuck will be coming, alas the black Wii itself will not be offered it seems. Wii Fit Plus has a new launch date and it will be coming on October 4 at $99 with the balance board or $19.99 of the software only.

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.

At this weekend’s World Hobby Fair, Nintendo had the blue Wiimote and Nunchuk on display, to promote Wii Sports Resort. They also were showing off that Black Wii we told you about earlier this month.

The Nunchuk has always been shiny on top and matte on bottom, but it’s much more noticeable, in a good way, on the black version. Even the fugly Wiimote jacket looks cool in matte black. The Classic Controller Pro looks downright awesome in shiny black plastic. This Wii items make the console look much more serious.

The black Wii and red DSi are coming from Nintendo Japan, not Colorware. The black Wii (aka “KURO Wii”) has been rumored for over two years now. It’s nice to finally have some color options for both the Wii and DSi.

The black Wii with black Wiimote, nunchuck, and classic controller will hit Japan on August 1st for ¥25,000 and the ¥18,900 red DSi on July 11th.

The folks at Colorware are at it again. They just can’t stand plain boring looking devices, when they can instead look like the abomination above. You too can have a DSi looks like a child’s toy, for only can be $374.

Or, you can send in your own DSi and get it returned to you for just $174. It’s like dressing it up in a clown costume if you ask me. Do you love your DSi or hate it?

Not that there’s any chance in hell of getting a new iPhone that looks like an old school gameboy, but I’m hoping I can find me this cool case at least. Who cares if it cuts your screen size?

It’s what you might expect if Steve Jobs was a Nintendo fanboy. Someone somewhere probably made this themselves. Another cool wrap that would look good over your iPhone is a Vintage Walkman. I have no idea where to get one. I just thought it was cool.

Today at GDC09, Masato Kuwahara, project leader on the development of the Nintendo DSi, gave people a first-ever glimpse at two Game Boy spin-offs that never were. The first a is hefty predecessor to the Game Boy Advance; the second a touch-screen GBA SP.

Kuwahara says that the unnamed Game Boy Color successor was in development in 1995/96 and based on a 32-bit ARM RISC processor. The second, more recent R&D project was essentially a Game Boy Advance SP with a touch-screen over its flip-up display. The guts of the unit were actually from a Game Boy Color. It “was not well received” by Nintendo management.

We love video games around here. Whether we’re playing the Xbox 360, the PS3 or even an old Atari 2600. We thought we would take a look at the history of gaming consoles from 1972 to the present. You grew up with the vintage consoles, you play the new ones, so take a walk down memory lane and revisit all your favorites from the massive list below.

It was just the other day that we were complaining about the lack of color options for the DSi and looky here. Three new colors of the Nintendo DSi just announced in Japan for ¥18,900 beginning March 20th.

It’s nice to know that Nintendo is giving us some options, despite the fact that the device has not yet launched outside of Japan. Australia will be limited to the black and white models when it launches there on April 2nd, while Europe will launch with the same choices starting April 3rd. The US will get the DSi on April 5th in the boo-boo colors of either black or blue.

Nintendo has the most popular and best selling game console on the market thanks to its Nintendo Wii. The system is still hard to find in many areas. The Nintendo DS is also the most popular portable game console and the latest version the DS is set to continue that tradition.

We mentioned last week that the DSi was available for pre-order at both Amazon.com and GameStop. This week Walmart.com announced that it too was offering a preorder system for gamers looking to get a DSi console.
