A black Nunchaku with your white Wii console? Looks weird. You just need the console to be released in black now.

Monster Hunter TRI on the Wii platform was released in Japan a few days ago, on the 1st of August 2009.

And.. looks like the game is making its way to the West early next year ^^.
Along with the game’s epic single-player battles, Monster Hunter TRI also features support for up to four players co-operatively hunting massive beasts over the internet, exploring the new underwater environments together with their best friend-coded pals. [Kotaku]
