Wii U Price Drop

The announcement of the Nintendo 2DS wasn't the only major announcement Nintendo had in store today; they have also announced that starting in September the Deluxe edition of the Wii U will be sold at a reduced price. Originally you could buy the Deluxe model for $349.99, and it included a 32 GB hard drive, a charging dock for the game pad, a stand for the Wii U, as well as a copy of Nintendo Land. Now the very same bundle can be bought for $299.99 instead.

On top of that, the Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD bundle will also be on sale for $299.99. This version of the Wii U includes the HD remake of Wind Waker as a digital copy, as well as a digital copy of the Zelda Hyrule Historia book.

If you've been thinking about picking up a Wii U, but you were put off by the high price tag; well, that's going to be a thing of the past very soon. $299.99 for a console and a $60 game, as well as a $20 book (including a few $20 Wii U accessories as well) is actually a great deal.
