REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nintendo is dropping the suggested retail

either black or white with the Mario Kart™ Wii game and a matching colored
Wii Wheel™ accessory, replacing the previously included Wii Sports™ and Wii
Sports Resort™ games.
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.
"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. 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.
