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?

Either or, Nintendo did a good job, and stories like this continue to prove it. It just makes me wonder, what will their next console be like?
