New Wii price to be $199 according to Toys R Us
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 6 Comments
It seems as though Toys R Us has gotten in to the rumored Wii price drop action. An advanced circular sent to Kotaku shows that the console’s price will be reduced to $199. And the good news is that Wii Sports will still be included in the box. Unsurprisingly, Nintendo said that the company “does not comment on rumors and speculation,” but they’ll have to make an announcement soon if the new price will take affect at the beginning of October.
What do you think about the Wii Price Cut? Leave a comment or discuss this in our forums!
Another Fullmetal Alchemist game in the works for Wii

Even though Fullmetal Alchemist Prince of the Dawn launched in Japan only a few weeks ago, that isn’t stopping Square Enix from announcing a sequel. Fullmetal Alchemist Daughter of the Dusk, like its predecessor, is in the works for Wii. There’s not a whole lot of information at this point, but players can expect the story to builds off from the first game. Alchemist Daughter of the Dusk will be playable at TGS, so more details will most likely be shared not too long from now.
