Faced with drooping sales and waning retail interest in its platforms, Nintendo's been exercising its price-cutting muscle with some regularity. Before the
unexpected 3DS price cut, there was the
$50 Wii price cut that also included a bundled copy of
Mario Kart Wii and the Wii Wheel accessory. At the same time, Nintendo introduced the budget-priced
Nintendo Selects game lineup and, on August 28, it's dropping four more games to the $19.99 price point.
Super Paper Mario,
Mario Strikers Charged,
Punch-Out!!, and
Super Mario Galaxy join
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess,
Animal Crossing: City Folk,
Mario Super Sluggers, and
Wii Sports in the bargain aisle. While it's hard to argue with the new, lower price, our secret, inner box-art snob wonders, "Is a measly $30 savings worth the shame of having
that on the game shelf?" A look at the art for the latest Nintendo Selects selections is after the break.
