Ever since the Wii was called the Nintendo Revolution we’ve known that Nintendo has been cookin’ up some colored consoles but have yet to see any in the United States. Luckily, CVG recently got in touch with various US retailers that have said a black Wii console will arrive in the United States next month.

News comes from Frys who tells our source that the console will arrive at the $199 price point complete with black Wiimote, Nunchuck, MotionPlus in addition to Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort.

Anyone holding out until one of these hits stores?

An alliance between 505 Games and Rolling Stone magazine was recently forged to bring the Wii title Rolling Stone: Drum King to North America.

Don’t go thinking you’ll have to shell out another $100+ for this game as it’ll utilize the Wiimote and Nunchuk in place of actual drumsticks.

Publisher of Rolling Stone magainze Will Schenck had this to say about the partnership:

For more than 40 years, Rolling Stone has been a staple in the voice of American music culture and entertainment and we are pleased to collaborate with 505 Games as we venture into video games for the first time. With more people playing console video games than ever before, this was a natural next step for the Rolling Stone brand.

Rolling Stone: Drum King is set to be released sometime later this spring and thanks to Kotaku we have a list of all 29 original songs cover songs that will be featured in the game; check it out after the break. READ ON »
