Piano gloss black Nintendo Wii available in the US via importation

Nintendo Wii (Piano Gloss Black) Packaging

The Japan-exclusive black Nintendo Wii is available to people in the USA after all, via importation that is.

SuperUFO is selling the black Nintendo Wii for $333 (seems to be out of stock as of the moment, so keep checking!), definitely priced higher than the normal white Wii’s that you see everywhere. Getting something exclusive almost always puts a dent on your wallet.

Not quite sure how much the online store charges for shipping. Hopefully, it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

The matching black finish Wiimote, Nunchuck and Wii Classic Controller are also available for $52, $25 and $32 respectively.
