Just one month before Nintendo releases a brand new home console, the company has decided to drop the price of their current generation hardware. Wii will now sell for $129, bundled with both Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort.

The price drop is incredibly enticing for anyone who, over the course of six years, just wasn’t sure about picking up the most successful video game platform of all time. Certainly worth it now, wouldn’t you say?

The new bundle will be available October 28.

A leaked screenshot posted on the Club Nintendo site last night seemingly outed the rewards for this year’s platinum status and gold status Club Nintendo members.

For gold status members, this year’s prize is a set of Mario-themed playing cards. Platinum members will receive a special poster pack, including artwork from The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, Kid Icarus Uprising, and Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon. If platinum members aren’t happy with the selection, they’ll be able to redeem the gold status reward, or download from a selection of Virtual Console or eShop titles.

Honestly, this year’s prizes are pretty solid. While they aren’t mind-blowingly awesome, but what’s nice is that if you don’t like one prize, you have the option to redeem another. And free products just for brand loyalty are always appreciated! You have until the end of the month to redeem your rewards.

If you’re addicted to party games, today just got a whole lot more fun for you. Nintendo has released Mario Party 9 today for Wii, promising to satisfy your craving for a mini-game fix. Developed by Nd Cube, this new entry brings some freshness to the familiar territory, by adding boss battles and some new playable characters. Also different from previous entries is that all players will move around the board within one vehicle. I actually like that idea, as it’s always a recipe for depression when my friends are miles ahead of me and I’m sadly left in the dust.

What’s somewhat weird is that on the official Mario Party 9 website, Nintendo names Koopa Troopa as “Koopa,” which was Bowser’s forgotten name — though still currently used in Japan. I’m… so.. confused…

Anywho, Mario Party 9 is now available, and certainly looks a crap ton better than its Wii predecessor. Go buy it.

Who’s excited? Count me in! Watch the latest trailer above.
