It's official: Nintendo is dropping the price on the Nintendo Wii to $149.99, as insinuated by price drop rumors floating around Nintendo's console the last few weeks. The price drop will be in effect as of May 15th, and will include a Nintendo Wii in black or white along with Mario Kart Wii and a matching colored wheel, replacing the Wii Sports/Wii Sports Resort pack-ins. For those dying to pick up a black wheel, it can be purchased separately for $9.99.

Beyond the Wii cost reduction, Nintendo also formally announced its "Nintendo Selects" program, which will offer popular Wii titles at the $19.99 price point. The four titles initially part of the Nintendo Selects family include The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Mario Super Sluggers and, for the first time ever as a separate software purchase, Wii Sports. There was no mention of Super Smash Bros Brawl made officially by Nintendo.

It sounds like a great deal for someone that's been waiting all these years to pick up a Wii, with deals galore for classic titles that the legions of Wii owners have enjoyed for years. But with Nintendo's new console 'Project Cafe' coming next year, the timing seems a bit off to really drive any serious momentum for the flagging console.

What do you think? Are you excited to finally pick up a Wii?

Feel free to follow me on Twitter or if you have something you'd like to share, get in touch via E-mail.

Nintendo is launching a new budget line of games for $19.99 called "Nintendo Selects" starting with a new Mario Kart Wii console bundle and four popular titles including The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Mario Super Sluggers, and Wii Sports. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is another title that's heading towards the line but wasn't pictured. The Mario Kart Wii bundle will come in both black and white, but what's most interesting about the news is that it definitely hints towards a Wii price drop.

We've heard a few rumors about the Wii price drop over the past few weeks, especially with all of the speculation surrounding the new confirmed Nintendo Console. So with the release of the Nintendo Selects line, the price drop rumors have just gained more credence. Supposedly the price drop will occur on May 15 according to retailers, so if you've been waiting to pick up a Wii, you're in luck.

Epic, creators of the hilarious sci-fi shooter Bulletstorm are giving back to the fans today by offering a free copy of the game's soundtrack. You can download the soundtrack on Epic's website, no strings or skillpoints attached. The one bad thing about this deal is that the Disco Inferno cover that plays in the club is missing. Shame.
