Well a few days ago there was this rumor about a Wii price drop, and yes the Wii is at $170 with a expected $150 price in May, also there was a rumor about a new line of Wii titles for $20 bucks, included in that line is Wii Sports, now Kotaku reports why Wii Sports is going to be sold separately.
Nintendo will drop the price of the Wii to $149 in North America this month, according to details forwarded to Kotaku by retail sources. That price drop, first reported in April, will also coincide with a new budget friendly line of Wii software dubbed "Wii Select."
Price lists from North American retailers indicate that the new $19.99 USD "Wii Select" line will kick off with cheaper versions of Mario Super Sluggers, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Nintendo has maintained the original price of some of those titles since their launch.
Also joining to "Wii Select" line-up, according to retailer listings, will be Wii Sports, a title bundled with Wii systems since the console's launch in North America in 2006. Those same pre-order pricing sheets indicate that Nintendo will soon bundle Mario Kart Wii with the console, selling Wii Sports separately.
That new Mario Kart Wii bundle will sell for $149, according to those retail listings, and will go into effect on May 15. Those details match up with a report last month that pegged a formal Wii price drop from $199 to $149
