Nintendo have announced that the redesigned, streamlined Wii will be released in November.

The new version of the console will form part of a bundle that includes Wii Sports, Wii Play, a Wii Remote Plus controller and a Nunchuck.

A seperate bundle will feature Wii Fit in December, and will come with a black console, black balance board and a copy of Wii Fit Plus.

This news comes a day after Nintendo unveiled a blue Wii featuring a copy of Sonic & Mario at the London Olympic Games will also come out in November.

Having been announced earlier this year, it is now confirmed that the new Wii comes in a slimmer form, but does not support GameCube games and accessories.

The new Wii goes on sale on November 4.
