It has been nearly 6 years since Nintendo launched the Wii, creating lines and shortages and quickly becoming the fastest selling and most influential console hardware in history (without Wii there would be no Kinect or Playstation Move, and smartphone games would also be different). And while the Wii has fallen by the wayside and been overtaken by the XBOX360 in terms of game library and popularity for the last couple of years, it remains an amazing source of family fun and entertainment (and exercise for many).
With that in mind, even as the launch of the Wii U approaches, Nintendo has cut the price of the Wii to $129.99, and is now including both Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort in the package. Here are some details:
Nintendo is dropping the Wii console to a suggested retail price of $129.99 U.S. in advance of the busy holiday shopping season. The new configuration is beginning to arrive in stores now, and will be broadly available in the U.S. by Oct. 28. This high-value configuration includes a black Wii console and both Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort on a single game disc, as well as a Wii Remote Plus and a Nunchuk controller ? both black to match the console. This configuration replaces the current black Wii that comes with New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
?Nearly six years after it launched, people are still attracted to the pure, inclusive fun of the Wii console,? said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America?s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. ?A new suggested retail price and the inclusion of two great games make it an easy choice for families looking for a great value this holiday season.?
Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort represent two iconic games that helped pioneer the industry move toward motion-controlled video games. The games include a wide variety of sports that use the controllers in unique ways. Players can try their hand at sports like bowling, tennis, baseball, archery, table tennis and basketball, all while simulating real-life motions using the Wii Remote Plus controller. For the first time, both games are included on a single game disc.
Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/wii.
