Update: The U.K. got a little Nintendo attention today, too.
According to Eurogamer, Nintendo outed details of its Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD Wii U bundle. The bundle is due Oct. 4, and the game will be available with a limited edition Ganondorf figurine then too.
Heightened value
Rumors of a Wii U price cut have circulated for months, but Nintendo's announcement colors the decision as just business as usual.
"The price decline is pretty straightforward. Really, the focus on heightening the value for Wii U is now that we are in a position where we've got a regular pace of great software," Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime told IGN.
Fils-Aime specifically cited this month's arrival of Pikmin 3 and New Super Luigi U as well as Wonderful 101 and Wind Walker HD next month as Nintendo's "strong pace of first-party, strong third-party content."
According to USA Today, the current 8GB Wii U Basic model will no longer be manufactured, making room for the lower-priced version such as the original bundle with Nintendoland.
