LOS ANGELES – August 7, 2007 – The Mercury is rising and headed to Wii™ this fall! Ignition Entertainment Ltd., a worldwide publisher and developer of video games, today announced that Mercury Meltdown Revolution for the Wii home video game system will be arriving on store shelves September 25th at an amazing value of only $19.99.

Yeah, it was full price here too ($85 US). Guess they saw the PAL sales figures (spoiler: 0) and figured a sensible price might work in America.
