In addition, and also on May 15, Nintendo released the new Nintendo Selects series of Wii games. In "Greatest Hits" fashion, Nintendo Selects are top selling games that millions of gamers have enjoyed, and are listed for a suggested retail price of $19.99 each. These games are as follows: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess [a new Zelda Skyward Sword game is due to be released in 2011], Animal Crossing: City Folk, Mario Super Sluggers and Wii Sports [Wii Sports Resort is the newer version of this game]. This is also the first time that the Wii Sports game is being soled separately from the Wii console.

It's clear that Nintendo is seeking to push its game console into even more homes, those that might have been unable or unwilling to afford the previous price of $200 for the console or $29-49 for games.  With a new game console, the Wii 2, being revealed in June 2011, Nintendo clearly wants to get product out the door and extend its already huge fan base.

The Mario Kart Wii game which is now included with the Wii console bundle allows players to enjoy cartoon go-kart racing with Mario and all of your favorite Mushroom Kingdom friends right out of the box.  This is simimlar to the early 1990's when Nintendo included the original Mario Kart game along with the Super Nintendo consoles.  In today's bundle package, the Wii Remote Plus controller, nunchuk accessory and Wii Wheel are included, and will match the hardware colors, whether black or white.
