Those in Europe who still don't have a Wii might be interested in this one. Nintendo will be releasing a limited edition all-black Wii system bundled with Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort. Yes, it'll include a black Wii, the recently-announced black Wiimote and Nunchuck, a black MotionPlus, and even a black Classic Controller Pro.

Shigeru Miyamoto himself has said it - they'll be moving along with the progress of technology and he wants to see games with better graphics.

For now, they're working on existing hardware, turning white controllers black, and enlisting balance boards in the fight against terrorism.

For that, they're gonna turn your Wiimotes and Nunchuks into your very own Wii dumbells. Can't quite picture it? Hit the jump and see for yourself.
