Nintendo announced a drop in the Wii trade-price earlier this month. The Mario-maker estimated that shops would, from today, sell Wii bundles from £130.

• Amazon 119.99 (White), £99.99 (Black)
• Tesco 109.00
• HMV 114.99

Nintendo also introduces a budget range of Wii games today called Nintendo Selects.

Games included in the promotion are Wii Sports, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Mario Strikers: Charged Football and Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City.
