Hide the bananas
The reconfigured Wii console continues to spread its roots around the world, with Australia due to receive the blue machine on 3rd November.
Whereas Europe gets the new colour with Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, the Australian bundle comes with Donkey Kong Country Returns instead, and all for $198 AUS.
It's exclusive to EB Games, so head online or to your local store for a blue Wii.

i think they should've gone with black...
i wish the DKCR bundle will hit the US
Mmh actually I don´t like the colour. Dark blue would be well but light blue alias baby blue? No way.
Bah! I wanted it to come with Mario & Sonic!
Oh well...
Why not yellow or green, I mean it is for Donkey Kong?
No Gamecube compatibility, though. So it's still a broken Wii they're trying to sell for full price if you ask me.
i dont think compatiblity taken out warrants a price deduction of a old system were talking 10 years ago at the most
What does Blue have to do with Donkey Kong? Maybe he's gotten into blueberries instead.
Wii and 3DS sales are gonna BLAST BLAST and EXPLODE during Christmas. Nintendo is playing it smart to gather Bundles and Games and Low Prices for the Holiday. Wii sales may go up from 88-92 million and 3DS 4-7 million.
I'm just gonna say this again. I don't want this new, stupid Wii with no GCN support.
Yay! eb exclusive! Means full price with no price matching.
With DK the console should have been yellow, of course!
@Henmii you beat me to it!
This feels a little going back to the 90's when had different in-pack games for the SNES, even Donkey Kong country got bundled with a snes! the Sonic bundles is different, back in the day Nintendo and Sega fought a war (not literally) when it came to selling consoles. I'm hoping for another red wii release but with Super Mario All stars but a small selling catch.... it includes Super Mario World. I think these new Wii bundles are a little too late if you ask me but they got to do some thing whilst we wait for Wii-U.......
@Thwiidscube Nobody is forcing you to buy it.
@Hejuru That is Australian pricing, not US pricing.
Oh Whoopie... I've had a blue Wii since 2007 (case mod). Mine is also transparent, and it even lights up with blue LEDs.
yellow wii would have made more sense bundled with DKCR
