We've only just reported on the news that the US is receiving a black Remote and Nunchuk on November 16th, but Japan is already bracing itself for another two colours in a few weeks.
Yes, Japan will be receiving pink and blue Remotes on December 3rd, priced at ¥3,800, an equivalent of about $42 for those who want a little more colour in their Wii controller wardrobe.
No news on if or when these will be released outside of the Land of the Rising Sun, but you know what? If we receive news, we might just tell you about it. You know... maybe. If you're good.

These would make great baby shower gifts for the little future gamers.
Ok that's great, but I am left with the same frustrations I had about the black mote.... Can I have a matching Wii to go with it please?
Interested? Nope.
I'm confident enough in my gender ambiguity to say I like the way the pink Remote looks. It's not a slick red 'mote like I've been hoping for (darnit Ninty argh), but hey, I like it. I can haz pink wiimote in NA plz?
The blue one looks nice too, now that I look at it closely...Hmm, bring us both, NoA. I'd pick up one of each.
Wow. How amazing.(sarcastic)
Yeah, neat.
Be cool to actually get the classic super famicom colors, though. What happened to that whole design scheme. Is that too 90's? (yellow, blue, green, red)
I'm agreeing with PhoenixSage. Pink is as close as you can get for a red remote. I get the feeling that making gender toned Wiimotes is alittle bit creepy in this case. Still, it's an option I guess
Ew, those are horrible shades of blue and pink. Just give us the black wiimote.
Any sign of matching MotionPlus devices? Nunchuks? I doubt it personally, but meh.
I think boyish blue is better than black.
Both of those colors suck. I want red, or even better Orange!
Blue!
Meh. I dont like those baby colours
I've already got 3 WiiMotes... So there's space for 1 more left. And I guess if I get it someday, it will be black, not pink or blue.
But I must agree, that a NES-themed one would really rock!! And Nintendo could even make a NES-lookalike Wii. That'd be cool. =)
Cute.
@pinta_vodki: You can do that easily yourself with skins/decals. (doesn't void your warranty) There are sites that sell them like decalgirl.com
here comes the influx of colors.
Ready for the MARIO RED controller?
I hope they don't actually specify on the box which color is for which gender. Gender barriers suck and need to be crushed. They both look pretty flashy to me though. I might get one of them if they make it Stateside. I was willing to shell out $10 extra (s&h) for a new Classic Controller (Pro), but that's because it had more than just a black finish.
I'm pretty sure there won't be any specific gender requirements to buying a coloured controller...
i really hope for a red wiimote to come next, those colors seems too happy for me
juk...
I want them both!!
WTF NINTENDO!!!!!
Man they are picking some really crap colors imo for both Wii and DS.
Why don't they go back and look at some of the stunningly beautiful colors they had for the N64 back in the day and try some of them instead.
I mean these are stunning: 1 or 2 and 3
And even the more standard colors are nicer imo: http://www.spreadfiregames.com/VG_System_Images/Nintendo%2064.png
The blue one is ugly. It needs to be a cobalt blue like the American DS Lite. That one I would get, including a MotionPlus and Nunchuk to go with it and one black one with MotionPlus.
i love the blue one
To Prosody:
First of all, how did you get your message into a box that lets us know you replied to my message? I don't see any reply icons.
Second, I'm not worried about gender requirements. I'm worried about boys getting dirty looks for getting a girly controller. Do you know how much crap I had to put up with because I liked playing with dolls as a kid? Luckily, a girl could get either color because blue is bright enough.
You liked playing with dolls?! Nevermind.
Black Wii Woooooh!
@BlueFlameBat - as a site writer my comments always come up in boxes You can highlight someone's username by starting it with an @ symbol, though.
As for your second point, surely that applies to boys getting anything whatsoever in pink, and it's up to the person buying to decide whether or not they care for gender stereotyping.
THAT! is not a boyish blue!
cool... i want the blue...
I'm a guy and I'm getting the pink one. Then maybe I'll get the blue one.
