[Wii] 'Nintendo Selects' Line Will Offer Big Wii Titles for $20

You may remember Nintendo's "Player's Choice" library of software on previous Nintendo consoles spanning from the GameCube all the way back to the Super NES, offering some of each system's best games at a reduced price. Microsoft and Sony currently run similar programs with the "Platinum Hits" collection for the Xbox 360 and "Greatest Hits" for the PlayStation 3. Oddly enough, until now Nintendo has not initiated this type of program for its extremely successful Wii console.

That will soon change, however, as a budget line of hit Wii software called "Nintendo Selects" will finally launch alongside the Wii's price drop to $150 occurring on May 15 (allegedly). So far, the only titles confirmed to be included in the program are Animal Crossing: City Folk, Super Mario Sluggers, Wii Sports, and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, each of which will be available for just $19.99 USD. Since Wii Sports is being replaced by Mario Kart Wii as part of the new Wii hardware bundle, the game will now be sold separately and is included as one of the "Nintendo Selects". Super Smash Bros. Brawl is also expected to be included in the program.

The four games, excluding Wii Sports, have sold over 21 million copies combined on the Wii: 4.1M for Animal Crossing, 1.4M for Mario Sluggers, 5.8M for Twilight Princess (and another 1.6M for the GCN version), and 10.3M for SSBB.

I might re-buy TP on Wii after all. Always wanted it, but not worth having same game twice if the other is at $60. At $20, it's something to consider.

And I lost WiiSports a while back. Been madly looking for it, but meh. I'd pay five dollars for it.

Should be for free.

Finally a price drop, hm they should get a better selection though, I already have TP and the others don't interest me.
