Black Nintendo Wii Can’t See America

More depressing news for those of us in America, no Black version of the Nintendo Wii for the United States.

After a Nintendo rep informed GameDaily, it appears that the only possible way to lay our hands on the new look to Nintendo’s popular console is to get it from Japan.

GameDaily reports:

We contacted a Nintendo representative as to when and if this sexy system will arrive Stateside, and he says there are “no plans to have other colors of Wii in the U.S.”

So why a reason for this? No statement was given, but one can see that it could possibly be a scheme developed by the high-ups at Nintendo to give the new version some sort of hype so that when they do announce it, the console sells well.

What are your thoughts?

Dirt 2 Looking Solid in Mud; Releases on September 8th

Some new screenshots of Dirt 2, a sequel to Dirt by Codemasters, have been released. Dirt 2, a visually strong racing title, features damage-modeling and off-road racing.

The game will feature many new race-events, including stadium events. Along with the player, a mobile home car will travel from one event to another, and serve as ‘headquarters’ for the player. It will feature a roster of contemporary off-road events, taking players to the diverse and challenging real-world environments. This World Tour will have players competing in multi-car and solo races at new locations, from canyon racing and jungle trails to city stadium-based events, and will also include a new multiplayer mode.

Dirt 2 hits shelves in North America on September 8th for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation Portable, and Nintendo DS.

Obviously found in the name of the game, dirt is one of the main factors in the game. Players race through dirt and mud, which is showcased in the new screenshots below. Also enjoy videos of the upcoming racing game below the screens.
