What Are Today’s Wii Deals
Lately Nintendo has been lowering prices on the Wii console, and shipping Wii bundles at lower prices too. They have been working hard to keep their numbers up heading into the end of the year probably; in June Nintendo had their slowest sales ever. However it's true that in this economy, sales are slumping for most game console companies. But these slumping sales mean there are Wii deals out there for buyers who have been holding out for good prices.
The best deals are on the console bundle. Nintendo released its black Wii console by offering either a black or white system bundle including Wii Sports Resort, the Wii MotionPlus, and adding in the original Wii Sports game. Most retailers have this bundle for under $200. Because the console price was lowered, there are also bundles with more components that also have lower prices, like the Wii console and Wii Fit bundle, which can be found for under $300 and includes games and accessories.
Other Wii deals are the controller bundles for the Wii, which are a good way to save on pieces you need to play. The Wii controller comes standard with the console, as well as one nunchuck,but if you want to play a multiplayer game, you need at least one extra controller and nuchuck. Sold separately, these items add up to a suggested retail price of around $60 together. But you can buy a Wii controller and nunchuck combo for under $40 when youbuy both together. an if you buy abundle that includes the MotionPlus, a $20 value, you can get all three pieces in abundle for around $75, which saves you t least $10 or more.
Other Wii sales are on Wii games, which are often discounted in pre-release, but we have also seen big discounts of 25% or more on some popular games such as Boom Blox, LEGO Harry Potter, and more. Some Nintendo games are still near the $49.99 suggested retail price,but at stores like Amazon you can usually find a discount of 5% or more on these deals.
This summer, as Nintendo and retailers try to clear out inventory for the coming holiday season, check around and you might find some of the best Wii console deals on consoles,bundles, accessories and games.
Wii Bundles Best Price Now
Last week, we posted about the latest Nintendo Wii Console price discount - the price for the console plus a controller,nunchuk and Wii Sports game went down to just $149 at Amazon and other major retailers.
What we didn't talk about in detail was the latest new pricing for the white or black Nintendo Wii console, combined in some of the Wii bundles best deals. For the price of $199 buyers get the console in either color, a controller and nunchuck, the Wii MotionPlus add-on for the controller, and both Wii Sports, and the new, updated version, Wii Sports Resort.
The Wii bundles are really the best way to go. MotionPlus by itself is about $20 retail. an extra controller is about $40. and Wii sports Resort does not come with the standard console either, so that's another $50 as well. Adding all those costs to a basic console, which is about $180 as of this writing, you're going to be well over the $199 you would pay to get everything in one package.
Now you can also get the console in black, so that's a great deal if you want to get one for a second room, or a gift, or you've been waiting for the black console to come out!
You'll see also that this game console consistently gets great reviews. The fact that it is fun to use for all ages, means families as well as college kids as well as seniors as well as fitness nuts all get in there and play. We even know some 80 year olds who love Wii Sports Resort Frisbee! There are now controllers too for even the youngest kids, so they can not have to worry about all of the buttons and so on, which can be hard for them to control. There are nunchucks too for young kids, so they are not as dangerous and prone to being swung around at other people.
If you've been holding out, the bundle deals at these rices are definitley worth the wait.

Wii
by Jeff Carter from Perry, Ga United States on 2010-08-28
The only reason I'm getting a wii is to play the sims 3 on which comes out October 26th. The wii version has exclusives the ps3 and 360 don't like swimming in the ocean,weather,sun bathing,sun burn,jet skiing,houseboats and so much more. All 3 console versions allow your sims total freedom like the pc version thou there is a very fast loading screen when going to community lots from the home lot but no loading screens when going from community lot to community lot.
This is the reason I'm getting a wii because I'm an avid sims fan and I also plan on getting sims 3 late night for the pc which streets the same day as the console versions.
Good job Nintendo!!!!!!!!!

All you need to play gamecube games is a gamecube controller and a gamecube memory card. Also this system has really good graphics. Go buy this system NOW or you`ll miss out on all the fun!!!
Great fun, exercise
by Mary Anna Anderson from Omaha, NE on 2010-08-10
This is great entertainment when you are stuck inside. Also provides some decent exercise. The only negative is the same music over and over. Had to quit playing for a while, because the music drove me crazy.
Prices had started originally at $250, then last year Nintendo dropped the Wii console price to $199 to generate sales. Now, Nintendo has just released a Wii bundle which comes in either white or black, and includes a controller, nunchuk, but also the Wii MotionPlus controller accessory. The MotionPlus is a $20 accessory that helps fine tune the controller's motion, so players can get a smoother action during play. This newer bundle is $199 at big retailers.
The above Wii Console deal is not the newer bundle, including those extras. But keep in mind that this system, is the exact same Wii controller, with the same Internet access and Wii Ware offerings, including access to Netflix on the Wii, that any and all Wii controllers have.
Wii Console Deals Best Right Now
Right now Wii console deals are the best you will be able to find before the holidays come up fast. Nintendo has lowered the price of their base system, and that means great Wii console deals for you if you start shopping right now. Finding a Wii bundle, a Wii Fit with your console, or getting it as a gift for someone else is really a great idea.
Online, you're sure to see the best package deals. For example, there are many new games out for the Wii Fit, including EA Sports Active, and getting the whole package means you can save as much as 25% over the price for individual pieces. When you compare the best Wii bundles which include extra controllers, games along with the console, you'll find that the savings can be really worth shopping for online.
Also it's been the case in the past that retail stores have charged even higher than suggested price for some Wii accessories, compared to getting a discount when you buy Wii online. A good example is the Wii Motion Plus which retails for $19.99, sold higher in some stores, and yet was available online for 15% less.
Another great point for Wii console deals is that everyone's trying to save money today, and every little bit counts. When you save on the pieces you have extra cash for those games or to buy Wii Points which lets you buy and download games onto your Wii from the Wii Channel.
Get started shopping so you can compare prices before the holiday season!
