Daily Blips: No Black Wii For Us, WoW iPhone App, NPDs, and More

We don’t know why Nintendo doesn’t like colors. We do. Nothing makes us gayer than seeing a beautiful rainbow of colorful consoles.

News Blips:

• Nintendo officially racist; won’t be releasing black Wii in America. The true colors of Nintendo were revealed today when the company confirmed the Japan-only black Wii will not be coming to our shores. Tis a dark day for U.S. Nintendo fans. [GameDaily]

• Tony Hawk Ride also officially racist; nixes fake black skateboard for fake white one. The true colors of Activision Blizzard were revealed today when Tony Hawk Ride developer Robomodo confirmed the previously black skateboard peripheral will now be white. Tis a light day for fake skateboard fans. [GI.biz]

• World of WarCraft iPhone app lets you hang up on reality. In case your life isn’t consumed enough by Blizzard’s massively multiplayer online role-playing game, you can now download an official WoW iPhone app that lets you check your gear, in-game news, and other stuff that is way more fun than conversing with people in real life.

• Lego Indiana Jones 2 allows two blockheads to create levels together. If you’re sick of the Lego games, well, make your own — Lego Indiana Jones 2 will allow two people to create their own levels simultaneously. Well, if you can actually agree to let your partner create stuff without knocking their crap down first. Not that we’d do that. *Whistles peacefully* [Joystiq]

• Prototype sells a lot, DS sells more than a lot. The June videogames sales numbers were just released and, big surprise, the DS sold a lot (766, 500 units). Prototype was the top game of last month selling 419, 900 units. And, weirdly enough, Wii Play was not on the top ten list for the first time in forever. Guess everyone in America has a second Wii-mote now.

Hit the jump for some video blips, including an Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines trailer, stomach-pleasing God Eater gameplay, that asshole Duck Hunt dog, and…more.

Video Blips:

• Kill time with Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines trailer. If you’re a time-murderer.

 

• God Eater gameplay tastes like Monster Hunter. And chicken.

 

• Try to stay alive watching this Trauma Team trailer. Congrats if made it to this sentence.

 

Cultural Blip:

• Duck Hunt dog still asshole in art form. Check out the infamous Duck Hunt dog (and other classic characters) turned into lovely pixel art. [technabob]
