It's Officially Official, Wii Now $199, New Super Mario Bros. and Wii Fit Dated

Nintendo has announced, at last, through a press release that beginning on September 27 the Wii will be sold at retail for $199. This will include the console, Wii Remote, Nunchuk and Wii Sports.

“Wii has reached more video game players than any game system before because it attracts everyone—both men and women, and people of all ages,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Our research shows there are 50 million Americans thinking about becoming gamers, and this more affordable price point and our vast array of new software mean many of them can now make the leap and find experiences that appeal to them, whatever their tastes or level of gaming experience.”

Also in the press release we have official release dates for both Wii Fit Plus and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, which will launch of October 4th and November 15th respectively.

Now all of the speculation is finally over and Nintendo can quit denying that they will be dropping the price. I'm most excited about the official announcement of New Super Mario Bros. Wii as this game is sitting on top of my most wanted list.

So let everyone know, if they don't have a Wii, they've just gotten 50 more reasons to go out right now and pick one up.
