Nintendo Wii Console Colors: Every Variant by Region

The Wii launched in a surprising array of colors, with several regional exclusives that collectors still hunt today. Here's the complete rundown.

Common Colors (Most Regions)

• Black — The launch standard (2006)
• White — Released 2008, became the best-seller
• Red — Limited release (2010, often bundled with New Super Mario Bros. Wii)
• Blue — Limited release (2010, often bundled with Wii Sports Resort + Wii MotionPlus)

Regional & Special Editions

• Silver (Japan) — "Wii Fit" bundle exclusive
• Pink (Japan) — Marketed as "for girls" edition (2009)
• Gold (Europe) — Wii Fit Plus bundle (2010)
• Green (Australia) — Wii Sports Resort bundle (2010)

Wii Remotes, Nunchuks, Classic Controllers, and Wii Wheels were sold in matching colors for most of these variants. The console's disc slot illumination (blue LED) remains the same regardless of shell color.

If you're collecting, the Japan-exclusive Silver and Pink are the rarest. The Gold (EU) and Green (AU) are uncommon but surface occasionally. White is the most common by far.
