Nintendo Wii gets a dark side! Join the dark side... get a Nintendo KURO Wii

There are a couple of tell-tale signs in the movies that someone’s evil: they’re either British or dressed in black. Well, the new special edition KURO Wii is dressed in black, but it’s far from evil. For a start it doesn’t have a British accent.

The KURO Wii is just like your average Nintendo Wii, but its had a PS3 makeover, and donned the black clothes. You’ll have to head to Japan to get one, though, as it’s getting released over there on August 1. No word as to whether it’ll make a bow over here, though. You can expect a slew of black peripherals to follow it over if it does though…

Nintendo’s also outed a red Nintendo DSi to go with the black, white, pink, green and blue versions. It’ll cost around £120 (plus the price of a ticket to Japan) and is out in the Land of the Rising Sun from July 7.
