This doesn't happen often
One month ahead of the Wii U launch and a couple months ahead of the holidays, Nintendo has dropped the price of the original Wii to $130. More than that, they've launched a new bundle to go with it, which includes the Wii, Nunchuk controller, Wii Remote Plus (all in black), plus Wii Sports & Wii Sports Resort on a single disc.
Perhaps sadly, this bundle replaces the current New Super Mario Bros. black Wii bundle.
The new deal, it's said, is hitting stores now, and will be "widely available" starting October 28.
