Nintendo is officially jumping into the console price war by dropping the price of a new Wii by $50.

Beginning Sunday, Sept. 27, Nintendo's suggested retail price for the Wii drops by $50 to $199.99. The new $199.99 Wii price point loses nothing and gains nothing over the previous SKU.

If you are a Resident Evil fan from way back, Capcom has got a new Wii game that should send a thrill down your leg. The Resident Evil Archives is a bundle of old Resident Evil games adapted for Nintendo's Wii. When I say old, I mean "classic" which is the original Resident Evil that was released on the GameCube in 2002 which itself was a remake of the original PlayStation game from 1996. That version featured new rooms, areas, items and creatures not found in the first version of the game. Check out the screenshots below.

Konami's first DSiWare game was announced today. The name of the game is Reflection and it features a young girl and her shadow in a a platform game with puzzle elements. If this sounds a little like Lucas Arts Lucidity to you, you're not the only one. After taking a deeper look though the games are only similar in a brief description. While Lucidity has you controlling the elements she walks on, in Konami's Reflection, you control the main character AND her mirror image on the second screen. Sounds complicated but that might be what makes it fun.
