Nintendo Wii Console, Best Prices

Wii Fit Plus has become the first video game to be endorsed by the National Health Service.

Already used in some hospitals to aid recuperating patients, Wii Fit Plus will use the NHS's Change4Life logo in it's marketing. This programme encourages healthier eating and excercise, and is believed to be the first collaboration between a government body and a video game company.

Wii Fit Plus is released on 30th October 2009 priced initially at £74.99.

Nintendo have announced the UK release of the sleek looking Wii Black Console.

Due for release on the 6th November 2009, for once the UK gets priority over the US (No Release Date) and the rest of Europe (20/11).

The Black Wii Console will be Limited Edition and comes bundled with the original Wii Sports and the newer sequel Wii Sports Resort. Black controllers are included. No official RRP has yet been announced.

As previously reported, the new official Nintendo Wii package incorporating Wii Sports Resort has been released today (2nd Oct). Amazon currently have this priced at £179.99 with Free Delivery.

The UK may not have seen an official price drop, but this new Wii package is certainly much better value for money.

Nintendo have confirmed that a new Wii Console package will replace the current offering of the Wii Console and Wii Sports. It is understood the new bundle will include the Wii console, one nunchuck controller, one Wii Remote, one MotionPlus accessory together with the top selling Wii Sports Resort and original Wii Sports. It is believed this will be released on 2nd October 2009.

Nintendo have also confirmed they will be reducing the trade price of the Wii Console to retailers, however it will be up to the individual retailer as to whether they pass on any price reduction to the customer. We therefore expect prices for the new package to continue around the £179.99 mark.
