Earlier today, we told you about the rumored line of budget games for Wii, which is set to roll out along with the also-rumored price drop for the system later this month. Quick update on that front!
Images of the proposed budget games and Wii Mario Kart bundle are now circulating the Internet. It seems the line is going to be called "Nintendo Selects," not "Wii Select," which is all the same to me. I was more worried about how obtrusive the new box art would be; could be much, much worse.
I suppose this also gives more credibility to what are still unconfirmed rumors, not that we were putting on our tinfoil hats or anything.

Overall I'm happy they're doing this and this isn't the worse I've seen, but the "greatest hits" covers bother me and actually deter me from buying a new copy (I really dislike those red PS3 cases), and instead propel me into buying a used copy with the original non intrusive labeling.
@ VGfreak it's packaged with the Wii in all territories, except for Japan, and if you buy a used Wii console you don't get the game, So it might be useful to some.
But am I the only one who's still waiting for the Wii port of Chibi Robo and Pikmin 2. They've been out in Japan (and everywhere else, except for North America, in Pikmin's case) for at least 2 years!
You can have the same effect by putting a sticker on the shrink wrap saying Best Seller 19.99 MSRP
Why don't they understand this. Instead they ugly shit up or give a ugly red box. usually when this happens To a game I wanted to buy I end up buying used to ensure I get the original box.
I'm just a box art whore though :)
Nintendo's doing a Mario Kart Wii bundle and apparently they're taking WiiSports out. So if anyone still wants it, they can just get it for $20 now.
you can buy all three of those games combined for the price of a brand new game now...
it's bad enough if the artbox is a generic one.
much like osama's death, i have to ask if this is even relevant anymore.
thats right, i just made a nintendo/osama comparison. its late. and cmon, it took almost the entire console lifecycle for them to make it a budget game. who does that?
