Well it's about time. Although I wonder what September 20th will mean for retailers. Will Nintendo foot the bill on existing units for the next three weeks, or will they still be $350?

There is probably a minimal amount of units on shelves. There shouldn't be much of a problem I hope.

Huh, i figured they'd hold out until early next year. Guess they're a touch more scared of the PS4's price proximity than I had imagined.

This might be good news for Wonderful 101 in America, though, proximity to the release and all.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Too bad they didn`t take the opportunity to also redesign the console.
Still, i wonder what Iwata has to say about this.

Nintendo should do an ambassor program as they did for the 3DS, it would make sense

I still think software is a much bigger factor for Wii U than price, but that's coming too with Wind Waker HD, Donkey Kong Country, and Mario 3D World.
