Wondering what Nintendo had to say regarding the possibility of launching Wii U in a black color variation? To be perfectly honest, it wasn’t much.

However, we now know for sure that Nintendo will be talking about the console’s launch date, price, components in the box, and colors all at once as soon as it’s ready to share that information.

This is Nintendo’s exact comments concerning a black Wii U at launch:

“When we announce the launch date, price and specific components to be included in the package, we will also discuss the color variations.”

We’re basically known for a few months now that Toki Tori 2 would be coming to Wii U. Today though, Two Tribes officially confirmed that its new project will be brought to the console.

Toki Tori 2 will be making use of the GamePad’s analog stick and buttons, but the controller will be specifically used for a new “Tokidex” feature.

Two Tribes explained how this feature works in a new blog post:

“The Tokidex feature allows you to scan the area around Toki Tori for creatures and objects by using the Wii U Gamepad as a virtual camera with a viewfinder. Any creatures photographed will be added to the Tokidex. It’s quite fun to do, especially with creatures that move quite a bit!”

Nintendo has gone ahead and confirmed that the Wii U boxarts we’ve been seeing are real. You probably figured that at this point, but it wasn’t until today that the Big N actually confirmed the design.

Here’s what will happen with Nintendo’s own Wii U  boxarts going forward:

“[First party] boxes will appear shortly w/ placeholder logos, and then ultimately with the final artwork for each game.”

So now that the Wii U boxarts are final, what do you think? It’s a change from Wii, but the design is sort of comparable to the GameCube cover.

We should point out that the black-colored Wii is highlighted in one of the photos. Might Nintendo actually make this color available at launch?
