Nintendo Bringing Pink And Blue WiiMotes To US

Tweet

Official Wii accessories that have been a different color than white have been mostly absent in the USA, as we missed the black Wiis that hit Europe, and the various colored Wii gadgets that hit Japan. However, Americans are getting in on the fun as Nintendo is bringing blue and pink, his and hers WiiMotes to the US for a Valentine’s Day Promotion.

The specially colored WiiMotes will be sold with Wii MotionPlus dongle add-ons. The Wii MotionPlus dongles let the controller orient itself in 3D space (meaning, that before, the WiiMote only recognized the motions you were doing). Some Wii games are starting to support the MotionPlus, as well.

The colored new WiiMotes will be unleashed on Americans on Feb. 14th, 2010, a perfect Valentine’s Day gift if your special someone likes playing with your Wii. No word on pricing, but with the inclusion of the MotionPlus dongles and the new colors, expect to pay a bit more for these new ‘Motes.
