Coloured Riimotes coming your way!

Want a splash of colour in your life? Fed up with your Wiimote looking the same as all your friends?  There's lots you can do about this, but one German company reported last night that from 8th February across Europe, there will be a funky, new way to change the way your Wii controllers look.  Black and lipstick pink (especially for the girls they tell us!) are the colours initially availible and it's not just rubber grippers this time.

Riimotes as they're being dubbed, come complete with matching rubber skins that you can remove and swap around (much like the standard Nintendo rubber skins).  They're wireless and near enough exactly like the standard, Nintendo Wiimote.  Buttons are placed identically and the only obvious difference is the battery cover, which is a different shade of colour to the rest of the remote.  Nunchuks are also to become availible in these colours, along with wireless nunchuks (akin to the Nyco wireless offerings) and a retro controller.

We've got pics so far of the Riimote and nunchuk in three colours, but more are promised.  Black and pink are promised to launch on Feb 8th.  We'll test them fully as soon as they arrive and let you know how they work in real time, so watch this space.
