Toys R Us France has listed two new colours of the Wii U console: Cherry and Mango.
The listings state that the Cherry console will launch on November 27th at €299.99 while the Mango hue is expected on December 4th fo €50 less. The price difference suggests that the Cherry bundle will include elements not present in the Mango one.
VideoGamer.com has asked Nintendo about the systems and has been told that the company does not comment on rumours and speculation — which as we all know, could mean anything.
Would you be keen to get your Wii U in a different colour? Let us know by leaving a comment.

I could see the Cherry one being bundled with 3D World. The Mango one just seems weird though, I guess i'd wait to see pictures before I judge it though.
mango?
mango???
I want them to be scented.
Idk I think it's cool, Like back on the N64-Game Boy Color days with plenty of different color models available.
Next NIntendo console that comes out I am waiting for post launch bundles and different colors.
Mango ftw! I would love an orange system ala gamecube.Whats not to like?Why not Luigi green?
i miss the days when there were clear console models. like for the gameboycolour and n64. never had one of those but it sure looked cool !
About time. Different coloured consoles is the easiest way to finish the "Is the Wii U just an add-on?" marketing problem.
"Pas d'image disponible". Hum, I don't think this rumour is anything to be trusted but I wish Nintendo got wild and adamant with several colours, I'd love to see a red, green or purple (yay, Gamecube!) one. We still need the White Premium Pack first.
I don't own a Wii U yet, but mango would do it for me--if it's anything like the GameCube in Spice Orange, I'm in. Nintendo's are supposed to be fun and quirky, colored systems really adds to that.
hmm..3D World comes out on the 29th. A bundle would somehow be fitting, but the dates don't quite match. Does anything come out on the 27th?
Nooooo!! Why do I already have a Wii U...
@ACK And now so do i.... I'll actually buy another Wii u if they are infact scented.
How about a gamepad battery that lasts more than 2 hours?
More colors would probably attract alot of attention, especially since Xbox and PS will only have black as far as we know.
@theadrock13
The current GamePad battery already lasts more than 2 hours. Mine lasts like 4 as long as it's on the lowest brightness.
@SCAR392 , playing a game (or watching a show) ON the gamepad, with sound (which is one of the main selling points of this system), and whatever the default brightness is, it seems to be about 2 hours... and while I may be exaggerating slightly, its not certainly not far off. I'm considering buying a second gamepad just for this reason.
@theadrock13
The high capacity battery should be out shortly in the U.S. I'm buying it.
I understand the battery constraints. I just usually have the brightness on everything I own at the very minimum. I keep my HDTV at the lowest minimum backlight setting, and it matches the GamePad for the most part. I don't really use off-TV.
@theadrock13
No offense, but that seems like a pointless reason to have two Gamepads. By the time you synced the second Gamepad to replace the one that died (only one can be synced at a time), you could have plugged in the existing one and just play with it plugged in. Surely your money would be better spent on buying that larger battery that's coming out soon, no?
@FiveDigitLP
I agree. 2 GamePads isn't necessary for the battery "issue". I'll be getting a 2nd GamePad, eventually, but definitely not to have more battery life(when they have stuff that supports 2).
The high capacity battery will make your GamePad last more than 2 GamePads with the stock battery.
Looks like someone at Nintendo has been listening to @RenegadeJools!
Those colors do sound delicious.
I'm happy enough with my white one, but it's nice to see Nintendo release new, colorful versions. I hope we get a glimpse soon.
I don't think Mango is a good idea....
Now "Spice" (Gamecube Orange) would have been a better plan.
Yes. Because people have chosen not to buy a Wii U yet because they don't like the colour black. If this is genuine then I can only stand aghast at the marketing idiot behind the idea.
Screw yo black and white, I want my Wii U in motherflipping Mango!
Nothings wrong with having a bit of variety.
This ties in with the new Kamen Rider... Gaim... The transform with Fruit...
I can not say whether I would buy one because there aren't any images.
Interesting! Though I really wish I could see what they look like...
Mango as in Lego Brick yellow perhaps?
They sound delicious.
I'm good with black but I'm interested to see what they look like & more options is always welcomed for people.
If its a sexy deep red I'm sold. Okay any red and I'll buy one. Okay I just want a wii u!
Play it loud!
If its the same color as my orange Gamecube I'll be so happy!
Would I buy a Wii U in a different colour? Technically no. I'm waiting for a Wii U Premium in a particular shade of grey, namely white.
If you bury a mango Wii U, you will grow a tree with three mango Wii Us in a few days. I'm holding out for the durian model.
want da mango one
Now I remember back around the time of the Wii U launch, and countless people were talking about getting the Wii U in bright colors, like red or lime green or, mango for example. I distinctly remember several members here stating that they'd buy a Wii U if they could get a colored one. So I would suspect this will go over well, especially if released worldwide.
Like my black Wii u but some cherry controllers would look nice with it
I'll have one Mango Wii U please with a side of cream
@theadrock13 I never get less than three hours, I'm not sure why it's so short for you.
I've only ever had the battery run out on me once.
Gimmie dat mango NAO.
Scratch n' sniff??
@ACK They damn' well better be.
yea they should make a see-through one, that would be cool for us retro gamers haha.
Mango FTW!!! This would be awesome if true!
@GamerZackX
Yes, exactly, same here...
By the way, I did take a good look at it. They do state the UPC code with it and they also have the New Super Mario Bros. U + New Luigi U bundle on there which was discussed on here as well ( Rumour: Wii U New Super Mario Bros and New Super Luigi U hardware bundle sighted ) so all in all it does seem very legitimate. I wonder what kinds of bundles November will bring...
I'll stick with my black deluxe 32 gig, thank you! But if you don't already own one, go wild!!!
Oh those colors sound so delis. A bubblegum pink sounds even more yummy, Ninty.
awww how cute a little fruity colored wii u!................
WHERES MY DAMN WALL MEAT AND GARLIC FLAVORED WII U?
Then they have the rename the white one to Whipped Cream and the black one to Licorice.
