Just when we thought Nintendo didn't think any other colour but white existed when it came to Wii, it went all revolutionary on us and came up with these.

Ok, so it's baby steps we're talking here, but these coloured straps for your Wiimote are the first nod from Nintendo about any sort of colour customisation for its next-gen console. Even though a white strap still snuck its way into the pack.

Unfortunately, these are only currently out in Japan and cost around £5 for the whole pack of 4. However, we see these being a fairly popular thing, and think it can't be long before Nintendo start shipping them over to us as well.
