Nintendo of Australia is dropping prices left and right! That is, if you imagine a
DSi on the left and a Wii on the right. The company announced a substantial price drop for the Wii console today, from its original AU $399.95 (US $369) down to AU $299.95 (US $277). The new price is still painfully expensive compared to other regions, but it's
better. And
EBGames is sweetening the deal by throwing in
The Bigs 2 and
Overlord: Dark Legend.
The price drop is taking place concurrently with the release of
Monster Hunter Tri, making Capcom's ARPG essentially the unofficial "launch" game for the new, cheaper Wii. If you buy that and the black Wii, it's sort of like you bought a bundle!
