Nintendo Wii Gets Price Cut – $149.99 w/ Mario Kart Game
It looks like the rumors were true about Nintendo cutting the price of the Wii! This morning Nintendo announced that the company will be lowering the suggested retail price of its Wii system to $149.99 and including a Mario game with the Wii hardware. Previously, the Wii console cost $199.99 and came with Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort. The price change will happen on May 15, so if you are looking to buy a Wii you might as well wait. The newly priced Wii system will come in either black or white with the Mario Kart Wii game and a matching colored Wii Wheel accessory.
“From the day it launched, Wii has let players of all ages and experience levels have fun with one another,” said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “The new suggested retail pricing for both the hardware and select games will help create more of these magical moments for even greater numbers of people.” With Mario Kart Wii now included with the Wii hardware, players will be able to enjoy fun go-kart racing with Mario and all his Mushroom Kingdom pals right out of the box.
