Nintendo announced Monday that it is dropping the price of its Wii console to $130 in the United States as it prepares to sell the next-generation Wii U in a little over a month. The new offer shaves $20 off the previous Wii price. To sweeten the deal on the six-year-old console, Nintendo is offering a complete package — a black console, a Wii Remote Plus, Nunchuck controller and two-game bundle of Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort.
