According to Kotaku, Nintendo will be making the Wii price drop to $149.99 official starting May 15th. Further, a new budget line of games retailing for $19.99 will be introduced. These Player’s Choice ‘Wii Select’ line of games should help stimulate sales with the likes of  The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Mario Super Sluggers kicking it all off.

It is also reported that Wii Sports will join the Wii Select line up, signaling the end of it’s long run as THE pack in title for Wii. Taking it’s place will be Mario Kart Wii.

Good news for Nintendo’s bottom line perhaps, but seeing as how I own just about every Nintendo published Wii title, this news doesn’t really do much for me.

Is anyone in need of a copy of Twilight Princess on the cheap because of a freak animal mauling?

  1. Hrm. Time to sell your games to Gamestop and rebuy them later for a lot cheaper?

  2. I actually never played twilight princess. Pathetic I know being a big fan of zelda but once I heard it was ported, it pretty much turned me off. I am actually playing minish cap(due to an earlier post on here) right now since my 3ds is collecting dust.

    Do not buy steel diver!

  3. WOW wii sports no longer a pack in? And instead it's Mario kart wii!?!?
    That's amazing to see, nintendo is changing there game up, I can't believe it

  4. Too bad for me. I always pick them up at launch. So when the savings come others get to laugh at me.

  5. @ghettoska yeah mean steel driver didn't look like it was all that fun, I am sure glad I got SSF IV 3D.

    @Sal yeah it's really odd they are changing up the game so much, but a very nice to see it.
