Gamereactor is currently in Frankfurt, Germany covering an event called the "Wii U Experience", where the final Wii U hardware is being presented to members of the European press along with select software.

About a dozen games were on hand with the final hardware in Frankfurt, but while the units in the test area were all standard white we were also invited into a secret backroom where the premium edition black console was showcased. Naturally, we snapped a number of photos of the black beauty.

The original version of this article appeared on Gamereactor Spain.

Official photo? Nope, this were shot by Gamereactor and showcases the final hardware.
The buttons and sticks have a very nice feel to them.
As you can see on the right side of the console it sports small legs that will help air flow if you choose to place it standing up.
