New Wii Price Cut, Package at $150 Includes Mario Kart, Wii Wheel

In the run up to E3 when it is expected that Nintendo will reveal their new console for release next year, they have dropped the price of the Wii to $149.99 and have switched out Wii Sports and Sports Resort for Mario Kart Wii. They also are including the Wii Wheel accessory.

Also on May 15, Nintendo launches the new Nintendo Selects collection of Wii games, a set of popular games that millions of people have already experienced, at a suggested retail price of $19.99. The four must-own games in this collection are The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Mario Super Sluggers and Wii Sports, which is available for the first time as a separate software purchase. Parents and video game fans can now easily expand their library of fun, family-friendly Wii games.

The Wii Remote Plus controller, Nunchuk controller and Wii Wheel included in the package will all match the hardware, meaning they will be either black or white. The new black Wii Wheel will also be available separately at a suggested retail price of $9.99.

So if you’re one of those few people that haven’t picked up a Wii you could get one now. Or you could put that money in the bank and grow interest on it until we know whether or not the Wii3D (my title, not theirs) will come next year.
