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 Console In Black – Now Available
As most people know, Nintendo has release the popular Wii console in black. It's been a long time coming - there's been a general demand for it,but has Nintendo missed the window? While it waited to release this item, other competing game systems have been available in black for some time, and also have lowered priced to attract buyers. Did Nintendo wait too long?
It's not likely. The fact is, Wii owners who play the Wii console, probably have one or more of the other consoles as well, especially if they are serious players. Finding the right color console hasn't likely been the main reason someone buys this console or that. But if a buyer has been thinking about buying a second system, or needs a replacement, it's certainly nice to have an option to get it in black.
The prices have come down too so that Nintendo has promoted the black Wii console and the white Wii console in bundle packages. The Wii console black best price has been this bundle, at $199, which includes the console, a controller and nunchuck, the Wii MotionPlus accessory, and both Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, the newest sports game that requires the MotionPlus to guide a player's motion through new games and sports. This game includes activities like jet skiing, swordplay, sky diving, biking and more. Both games are fun, and with this bundle pricing, players can get started right away.
Shopping around online for the black Wii bundle, the prices are similar at the biggest stores, but we're betting you could see some further discounts toward the holidays. It's more likely that new games and features will be released in time for gift buying and people heading off to college pick up a console to take with them. You can also find bundles that include two controllers and nunchucks, but there are just controller bundles with the controller, nunchuck and MotionPlus which can save about $8 over the price for separate pieces. Accessories and games will always have a bit of a savigns when purchased in Wii bundles.
Check out the prices for the black Wii, you can definitely save some cash.

What’s In The Wii Bundle Package
Still searching for the best Wii deal on a Nintendo Wii console? As demand has slowed, as many people who wanted a Wii have already purchased, but some are still looking to buy at the right price. With everyone looking to save money, there are some excellent deals available right now.
For example, Nintendo just announced that it will be selling its basic Wii bundle for just $199. The bundle includes Wii Sports Resort, the controller, nunchuck and the Wii MotionPlus accessory, which alone is a $24.99 retail value. The MotionPlus accessory clicks into the controller, and adds stability and smoothness to your stroke when you use the WiiMote controller. As everyone knows of course, the Wii has the wand-style controller, but it has always lacked something in the area of fine control – like trying to hit a target, or make a swing of the arm come out smoothly. The Wii MotionPlus was designed to help make your aim more accurate. It’s a great addition when you’re playing games like ping pong, golf, or throwing flying disks in Wii Sports Resort.
The other types of bundles available are also great deals. The price you pay when you combine items is always lower, but you can find Dance Dance Revolution bundles, or sports games like Madden NFL, included in bundle packages. You can save a lot by buying items together at once.
But if you don’t want to spend hundreds up front, even if you’re saving, the basic Wii bundle package is an excellent deal, especially with the added value of the MotionPlus. It’s a great time to buy, before the holidays head our way, and prices go up while inventory goes down. Today, you can basically choose your own system, and shopping online makes it even easier to see what’s available. Try bidding at online auction sites like eBay, where Wii prices are all over the map, but you can see what they recently sold for as well. You can often find a great deal.

Saving money is on everyone’s mind, but so if having fun. By getting in on the fun with a Wii today, you will make a great investment in home entertainment.

The State of the Wii Console Today
The big splash that was the Nintendo Wii console a few years back, has clealry subsided. "Real" gamers proclaimed its many faults (like lack of hi def video resolution, and the fact that it was based on the kiddie-style Game Cube), even as millions of non-gamers snapped it up to get on board with with Wii Fit balance board and exercise games, families started to play together, and classic ancient arcade style games lured back old timers like yours truly.
But now what's next? Wii fans wonder. Last year, Wii games hit in the top five sellers in North America, the Wii Fit was a huge success, but now what will draw buyers in the next months and years? The holidays are around the corner, so what could be the next big thing for the Wii console?
It's likely to be the games that are the draw. Right now, items like Rock Band have already come out with The Beatles, and Rock Band Green Day Edition is on its way next. For games, Super Mario Galaxy Two has been on the must have waiting list, due to come out in June of 2010. And everyone is asking where is the next version of The Legend Of Zelda, and will Link lose his sword?
Nintendo has come out with some great technology, including the MotionPlus controller accessory, which helps steady a player's use of the controller. This has many applications, but so far, not too many games are taking advantage of it. Swordplay is an obvious use. Nintendo has also hinted at releaseing something like a biofeedback accessory, something that will measure your brain waves. One can only imagine what you could do with that, expecially playing online! Seriously though, biofeedback might lead the world to be a calmer, pleasanter place if we all worked on our alpha state.
We've heard about the Wii console being used in senior citizens homes, and also as part of physical therapy regimens in hospitals and outpatient clinics. But what's next for families? Or serious gamers? The rumor on the street is there will be a high definition add on of some kind coming up. This seems the only way to lure the fanatical gamers (and it probably won't work either). But seriously, Nintendo has made a name for itself getting buyers that would never even have given the Playstation or Xbox a second look. What can Nintendo offer them?
It was good to see that finally, Netflix offered access to streaming video through the Wii, although despite early rumors, Wii was last and not first among consoles to get it. It's fine, if you aren't picky about high definition, works great, except for some timing delays. What can you expect online eh?
And WiiWare is still going strong, with lots of great offerings. (But does Nintendo know how many of its buyers don't even know it exists, and if they do find out, have no idea how to make it work?) Accessing WiiWare and the learning curve involved is probably not getting Nintendo the results it would like.
So far, there doesn't seem to be anything on the horizon for the Nintendo Wii that will take players' breath away. Stay tuned though, and perhaps they'll suprise us.
Wii Bundles – Best Deals
Street prices for Nintendo Wii really haven't dropped much even considering that the holiday season is long past. Finding good deals on Wii systems though is not hard - the best places to look are online auctions, or discount online superstores like Amazon. The best online Wii deals, though, are Wii bundles. if you're looking for the best price for Wii consoles, for example, then consider buying a bundle, which includes the controllers you'll need, but also great games to play.
Wii console deals are available online, mostly through auction sites like EBay. Getting a deal on Wii console means you are going to save money from the $199 list price, and the fact is you can find some discount prices if you know where to shop, or how to scour the Internet for top prices. Still, given the vast amount of inventory on eBay, even compared to Amazon, you'll find a much bigger selection and probably the precise system you want to buy. the best way to save the most on Wii is buy Wii bundles online. The reason for this is that because bundles include all of the pieces, there is a discount for the total system, compared to what you would pay for each individual piece if purchased separately. Price out the pieces you want yourself, and you'll see you can save 20% or more if you buy it all at once in a Wii bundle.
Some of the games you can get with Wii bundles are Wii Sports Resort, plus the Wii MotionPlus controller; Mario Kart bundle; DJ Hero with Turntable bundle; the Wii Fit system plus games; and much much more. Be sure to read all of the details with any listing. Some items may be described incorrectly, or exaggerated. For example, some bundles include Wii Sports Resort, but the listing will say it comes with "44 games" - because they are all included in Wii Sports Resort game! So make sure you know what controllers, games accessories and other items are included with the Wii console in a bundle deal.
