We’ve already seen both the black (or kuro) Wii and blue Wii remote and nunchuck in the form of promotional photos, but it looks like both braved the trip to this past weekend’s World Hobby Fair, where they were on display for all to see, but not touch. As you might expect, there aren’t a ton of surprises but, as Joystiq notes, the contrast between the glossy and matte portions on the Wiimote and nunchuck is much more noticeable on the black version (pictured after the break), and the black Classic Controller Pro also looks like it has an extra coat of gloss compared to the white version.

Mac OS X only: If you’re running a 2G or 3G iPhone with the 3.0 firmware, your (unofficial) carrier options just opened up a bit, as the Dev Team has delivered Ultrasn0w 3.0 for full unlocking.

Got a knack for fighting titles? Have a particular fondness for Tekken? If so, you definitely shouldn’t be playing with a stock controller, and that’s exactly why Hori has crafted the beauty you’re inevitably peering at above. The stick, which will ship as part of a Tekken 6 Wireless Fight Stick Bundle bundle, will be made available soon for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (shown after the break), and according to our pals over at Joystiq, it’ll be on sale at a variety of respected retailers for $150.
