This price drop includes the new black Wii, and each Wii console will still come bundled with Nintendo's family game, Wii Sports.

Tomorrow will also mark the release of Capcom's Monster Hunter Tri, a third-person real-time title that — unsurprisingly — sees the player hunting down monsters. Monster Hunter Tri retails for AU$69.95 on its own, or for AU$99.95 bundled with a black Wii controller.
