Nintendo Unveils Budget Line 'Nintendo Selects'

Ail How come this line is only for Nintendo's titles ? On both HD consoles there lower price line isn't restricted to first party titles....... Third party titles can lower their price anytime they want. They don't need nintendo's permission to lower their price so why do they need Nintendo selects.

Sneaky move Nintendo, copying Sony with those red cases but don't worry im on to your little scheme! xD

how many times we need to buy the same games? I'm all over some brand new ideas. where are those? where is the creation of new characters and game designs? Why is it all about repackaging or providing new levels/look to old titles? Why does this always feel like marketing instead of video game creation?

Took them long enough. Zelda is still full price and is a launch title. Still waiting for Mario Party 8 to drop.

I like Player's choice better... Anyway, have those games, and I don't like the cases, I prefer the regular ones. The only Nintendo published games I have to buy are Punch Out, Kirby's Epic Yarn and DKC Returns, I have to buy those before they label them and make the boxes look this way...

Nintendo should have started this trend at least 2 years ago. It's been pretty pathetic to walk into a store and see AAA games for the 360 that are less than a year old like Mass Effect 2 for just $20, and then see 4 year old Wii titles like Zelda: TP or Super Paper Mario for full price. Ninty should also add Galaxy 1, SSBB, and re-release the Prime trilogy at this price point too.

Wii could become a huge weekly seller once again if the manage to put it into the 'everyone can afford this' price category. I think that should be their goal: Wii should be as common as a DVD player in every household.

Good move by Nintendo. They should couple this with a price drop for the Wii itself.

I'd prefer them sticking with the Players' Choice label from previous generations.

Don't be tight Nintendo, lets have 2 controllers and wheels included with MK bundle.

might get super sluggers, hopefully more games are added

Wow, even 3 years after MK Wii came out, they still feel like doing a bundle with it. lol

zelda and mario sluggers is on my list !

YEAH................ WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess... in spanish... SURE!!!!!!... :)

Mario Kart is soon becoming what Super Mario was for the NES and WiiSports is for the Wii. I'm calling a Mario Kart Cafe for launch.

I hope this doesn't apply to just Nintendo titles, but I can see it going that way. Games like Modern Warfare need the 19.99 price point IMO.

Better late than never.

Finaly, but what concerns me is that if this is going to only apply to just nintendo titles. I would love to see third party titles get the same treatment; esp titles that sold reasonably well. Plus I love the desgin, it will convince consumers to buy them since they got the official nintendo gold ribbon seal. Lets hope they will apply this to DS titles as well.

EssosDeeos - I don't know the situation worlwide but in my country most of these games are not in stores anymore.. and the others (excetp madworld) at 29'95.. a reedition with more copies and distibuition and a new price at 19'95 would help

Arfen - those games you mention are already available at budget price and I don't think that repackaging them would get retailers to stock them again (plus they're 3 party titles).

I prefer "Wii select" (sounds like We select) better than "Nintendo select"

If the price cut is really May 15 as is widely speculated, the announcement should come by next Friday as retailer advertisements run Sunday-Saturday in the USA. The only exception would be if Nintendo made this decision very recently before the ads could properly reflect the discount.

Would be nice that this selection not only include Nintedo games and not only million seller games... it can be a good chance to increase the sales of some good games that deserves it and pepole will know better the whole underestimated Wii's games (Muramasa, Zack & Wiki, Fire Emblem..)

Its about time

About God Damn Time! Not one of those games interest me and I already have 2 of them.

How pathetic. Nintendo finally unveils a budget lineup and it consists of old titles that have no real market anymore. I am still wondering why Brawl, which is nearly three years old, is still selling for $50. I know the business reasoning is that the game continues to sell at its current price point, but seriously, Nintendo should cut consumers some slack. Even Halo ODST is a Platinum Hits on the Xbox 360, and that game is not even that old. Nintendo needs to work on getting the original Super Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros. Brawl down to a reasonable price for such old games.
