IMO: I don't care about the new colors that much, even though I would like a (Black Wii), I'm guessing everyone on this site already has a Wii. This new Controller will be awesome though, I'll definitely be buying the new Wii Controllers, Remotes and Nunchucks.

Just to let you know, as of now, the new colours are in Japan only.

I know, I said on the horizon. Meaning they should be here soon enough for other regions, not officially, but we all know Nintendo won't hold this from us.
Most companies release things in Japan before other countries anyway, so they can see how well they will sell, there would be no point in not selling these in other countries.

This should be perfect for anyone importing a Wii.

I'm guessing the new Controllers L2 and R2 are just the Z buttons, but this is still very good, I hated the last placement of the Z buttons.
Maybe L1 and R1 are the Z buttons.

Yeah, If I was buying a new Wii now, I would choose the black one, or maybe I would choose the white one,
in in honor of Michael Jackson's strange skin.

Black console with that blue light would be awesome. Dunno about the Classic Controller though, don't really see a reason for the changed button position since the Z-buttons are rarely (never?) used. The classic controller is just a SNES pad and should be used like one.

When I heard they were releasing a new classic controller, I was hoping the button layout would be more like the SNES controller, alas. I'm sure the original classic controller, the GCN controller, and the Super Famicom classic controller will keep all my bases covered for a while.

I hope those new controller colours eventually get released outside of Japan though.

The new Classic Controller does really seem to have the analog joysticks more distant one from the other.

If anyone of you has played Geometry Wars Galaxies with the double analog set, will know this was another much needed update.
