Black Wii accessories land November 16

Starting November 16, Nintendo will begin offering black accessories to match the black Wii console that you don't have. A black Wii remote and MotionPlus will be sold for $50, and the black nunchuk will go separately for $20.

We've speculated about a possible black Wii making its way stateside before, so it's certainly surprising to see black accessories landing on store shelves before the actual black console does. Could this be a taste of things to come?

Is the motion plus separate or integrated into the Wiimote? If it is separate, that is kinda lame...

I feel cheated that the Wiimote and Nunchuk are still sold separately, when the vast majority of games either support or demand their combined use.

Who ever is running the marketing side of Nintendo, needs to smarten the hell up. Seriously -_-

If this is Nintendo's best announcement for the holiday season, then I consider them cooked for the remainder of this console cycle. I wrote about it more at length in my blog:
