Nintendo announced they will release a limited edition bundle for the release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on November 20th. For $69.99, the bundle includes the game, soundtrack, and a Gold Wii Remote with MotionPlus built in. The regular edition will also include the soundtrack, so the premium here is for the gold remote. I will be buying the bundle because I never got around to getting the MotionPlus attachment on its own.

The bundle is available for pre-order for $69.99 at Amazon with free shipping, at Newegg with free shipping, and most other retailers.

Yesterday, Nintendo announced the addition of 4 new games to their Nintendo Selects lineup. The games include Super Mario Galaxy, Punch-Out!, Super Mario Strikers Charged, and Super Paper Mario.  The new $19.99 retail price will go into effect on August 28th.

The games make the total amount of Nintendo Selects titles 8, alongside The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Mario Super Sluggers, and Wii Sports.

On August 12th, Nintendo will drop the MSRP of the 3DS to $169.99, an $80 drop from the current price.

People who already own the system will be able to download 20 free games from the 3DS eShop, starting with 10 NES games on September 1st.

Details on the Price Drop can be read here.
