For a good long while there the Nintendo Wii has been available in any color you might want, so long as that color was white. Come August 1 the lucky color-spoiled Japanese will have the option of picking up the console in black as well, with accessories to match. A red edition of the DSi is also slated to hit that country on July 11, and if history is any indication we in the States will eventually see these options make it over here as well.
