This was a response from a Nintendo representative when asked when/if the black Wii would be arriving in the United States…

“[There are] no plans to have other colors of Wii in the U.S.”

Wii sales in North America are still in fairly stable condition, so I wouldn’t be expecting any new colors for a few months. But to say that there are no plans to bring colors to the U.S. seems odd…I can’t see the Big N never releasing the black Wii in the states.

So much for the Modern Warfare 2 Wii rumors! In spite of the fact that Call of Duty: World at War has performed rather admirably on Nintendo’s system, Activision has outright confirmed that there are no plans to bring Modern Warfare 2 to the Wii. A representative provided Kotaku with this information, although no reason was given for the company’s decision. I’m sure that this news will leave many Nintendo fans disappointed – myself included. It’s just a shame that the game isn’t in development for the Wii considering how promising some of the previous rumors were.
