The sexy black Wii has been entertaining Japan since last year, but on May 9, residents of the US can finally get their hands on one — along with bonus games and accessories in the new standard Wii bundle.

The sexy black Wii has been entertaining Japan since last year, but on May 9, residents of the US can finally get their hands on one — along with bonus games and accessories in the new standard Wii bundle.

Coming stocked with Wii Sports Resort and Wii MotionPlus (as well as the über-famous Wii Sports), the new Wii bundle will set you back $200 and comes in your choice of either a white or black console. That's a big savings, considering the Wii MotionPlus adapter and the Wii Sports Resort game retail for $20 and $50 (respectively) when bought separately. This bundle will become standard fare for gamers after next week, so if you darker-hued lovers want to coordinate all of your gadgets and consoles, now is your chance!

Wii Sports Resort Is Here! Are You Buying?

I still play Wii Sports on a regular basis, which makes me think that Wii Sports Resort will be a staple in my game playing rotation (stay tuned for the review!).

With 26 mini games (including wakeboarding, fencing and Frisbee) and cool new challenges in single player mode, Wii Sports Resort is made to be paired up with the Wii MotionPlus to make your gameplay even more accurate — which we all know comes in handy when you're attempting that pro level putting green.

For $45, you'll get the game and a free Wii MotionPlus sensor to boot. Not a bad price considering how much use this game is bound to get, eh?
