Four titles and a Mario Kart bundle confirm retailer reports.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/26202
Box art for the budget-priced software line dubbed "Nintendo Selects" has appeared, confirming earlier retailer reports.
The first four titles in the Nintendo Selects line include Animal Crossing: City Folk, Mario Super Sluggers, Wii Sports, and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Super Smash Bros. Brawl, another purported discount title, was not pictured.
The Nintendo Selects box art design is reminiscent of a similar budget line in Japan called Everybody's Featured Selection, which also features a dark red color scheme and a golden logo featuring a crown and olive branches.
Previous retailer reports detailed a "Wii Select" line, though the actual name is "Nintendo Selects." Those reports also indicated the existence of a Mario Kart Wii hardware bundle, which our sources confirmed, that will appear in both white and black varieties.
Have they ever sold Wii Sports on its own in the US?No.
I wonder if Nintendo has enough sense to invite third-parties to use this marketing line. It could help generate reissues of games that are out of print.

I'm not sure how they've decided on titles for NA.
I'm sure NA mismanaged it. I wonder if you can get a response from them about how they chose what they did. Probably give the Rumor and Speculation cop out again.I wonder if Nintendo has enough sense to invite third-parties to use this marketing line.

Oh, another note... "Nintendo Select" instead of "Wii Select"... clue for an upcoming DS Budget line?
The lack of Smash Bros in the lineup makes me hope they're working on an Project Cafe HD remix with tight online and maybe a few extra characters.
I know I'm dreaming, but I want it badly.

More like a sequel near launch with a $50 pricetag.

Does the Mario Kart $150 bundle not come with a nunchuck? Very tight Nintendo. Tut tut.
Have they ever sold Wii Sports on its own in the US?There was a Wii Sports "replacement disc" available for purchase through Nintendo's online store, but I don't know if that counts. I believe it was $25 plus shipping and all you got was a disc, not even the cardboard sleeve and manual.
Aren't these games still being produced? Well, except Boom Blox, but it's been replaced by its similar but improved sequel. I've seen them all at various stores, and they are all less than $20 new. The only thing that would change by adding them to the budget line is ugly packaging.Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

I agree with those picks. Maybe get Sega in there as well with House of the Dead: Overkill and Madworld, as well as Capcom with Resident Evil 4 and Umbrella/Darkside Chronicles.

Seeing this budget lineup come out now when the Wii is close to the end of its lifecycle is reminds me why I don't buy Wii games. Games that came out last year like God of War III and Heavy Rain were put on the discount line earlier this year but a launch title like Zelda is just finally getting an official discount?
I saw these out in the while. Nintendo Select. (https://cid-459b860583c550d4.photos.live.com/self.aspx/.WMPhotos/a0%20%5E53%5E6.jpg)

I actually like Targets new display cases BTW. It lets you hold the game, look at the back cover and you can also see how many they have left in stock. I thought that was pretty nice.I really like them too. I like being able to look at the back of the box, I don't have to worry about it falling off the shelf when I put it back, and they all line up nicely.
