Nintendo lowers Wii price to $ 149

Today it became known that the Nintendo company lowered the price of its gaming console to $ 149, and added a Mario toy to the kit that fans of the genre should like. Before the price was down, the cost of the console was $ 169. It may well be that such a price reduction is a precursor of the emergence of the Wii 2, however, the new version of the console will appear no earlier than next year.

For quite a long time, gamers and gaming industry experts voiced the opinion that the Wii hardware needs to be updated, since it is significantly losing in this area to its closest competitors. Earlier, the Wii had the advantage of a new generation of manipulator, but after the competitors appeared, the development team still had to come up with something new.

Interestingly, after the appearance of similar manipulators at Sony and Microsoft, sales of the Wii have declined, and quite significantly. Yes, of course, there are still a lot of fans on this gaming console, but they are still getting smaller.

Now the company hopes to raise the level of sales by reducing the price, which will become relevant from May 15. Included with the game console will be supplied Mario Kart Wii and Wii Wheel accessory. By the way, the company also introduced the Nintendo Selects game package, which will be available from May 15 for the same $ 20. The kit includes four games: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess; Mario Super Sluggers; Animal Crossing: City Folk; Wii Sports.

Previously, Wii Sports was supplied with the console, but now, as you can see, this game can be bought.
