You’ve been waiting patiently since 2006 for Nintendo to drop the price of the Wii to $150, right? Well your wait will soon be over.

Starting May 15, you’ll be able to scoop up the console, a MotionPlus controller, Nunchuck controller, Mario Kart game, and Wii Wheel accessory for a suggested retail price of $150.

Seeing that prices at stores like Best Buy and Amazon have flirted with the $150 price point even before this official price break goes into effect, it stands to reason that you may be able to get your hands on an even better deal than $150 over the coming months.

Nintendo also announced a new collection of games called Nintendo Selects, consisting of several popular titles priced at $20. Some of the first ones out of the gate on May 15 will be The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Mario Super Sluggers and Wii Sports.
