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.

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.

“Kingdom Hearts has always been incredibly popular. As the first new release into the franchise for three years, pre-orders are already way in excess of typical DS product. The strength of the brand, quality of the product and the perfect timing in the approach to Christmas all set Kingdom Hearts up as a star performer for retail over the peak period.” – UK sales director Doug Bone

Square Enix also says that there are plans for online advertising…

“We’ll also run a series of carefully targeted promotions toward the late tween and early teen audiences. Our online advertising on launch will feature various takeovers and rich media video on a range of gaming and kids websites.” – Square Enix senior product manager Adrian Arnese.
