Amazon’s “Deal of the Day” today is Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii for only $25.99. The rest of the deals today also seem to be Nintendo Wii related. So if you own the console, watch the Goldbox Deals page throughout the day and see if they got something you’ve been wanting, but were too cheap to buy.

Hell no. Nintendo knows that people are snatching their Wii systems up as soon as they hit the shelves and plenty of people are still picking up the DS daily. There’s no reason to drop the price. According to Satoru Iwata, “Our earnings projection for the year is not based on hardware price cuts, and I don’t think we are going to need them.”

Nintendo has announced today through a press release that the Nintendo Wii is getting a price cut of $50. The price cut will take effect immediately. So head on over to Best Buy and see if you can find one.

The Nintendo Wii and the DS were the two best selling video game systems in US according to data provided by the NPD group. With about 8.5 millions Nintendo DS’s sold, it was easily the top selling U.S. gaming system of 2007. The Nintendo Wii followed closely behind in second with about 6.3 millions consoles sold.

Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of sales & marketing, Cammie Dunaway stated “By the end of 2007 we were sold out of virtually all hardware, and much of our stock of software and accessories was sold out as well.” Now just imagine how much Nintendo would have sold had they have more Nintendo Wii’s in stock.

Nintendo has released a list of the games that they expect to release this year for both the Nintendo Wii and the DS. There will be more than 65 new games for the Wii just in the first half of the year. Some of the more notable title’s in this list are Super Smash Bros. Brawl, No More Heroes, Mario Kart Wii, Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, and Wii Fit. Check out this massive list and see when the games you are waiting for are coming. Keep in mind that this is not a full list of games coming this year.

If you’re not doing anything for New Years, why don’t you play some games for the Virtual Console on the Wii tonight. First there’s Bubble Bobble, which everyone knows and loves, I think. This game is just a great classic that everyone can play. Then you’ve got Light Crusader…which I think kinda sucks. If you just gotta have another RPG, go ahead and pick it up though. Lastly, is Top Hunter. I’ve never played this, but it looks like it could be a lot of fun.
