Wii Available In Blue for $99

Posted November 21, 2011 by Steve Peterson

Nintendo hasn't officially lowered Wii to the magic price of $99 just yet, but this deal at Walmart should entice many customers.

Walmart is bringing the limited edition powder-blue Wii to the US (after it appeared in Japan and then Europe), for the Black Friday doorbuster price of only $99.96. You can buy them starting at 10:00 pm on November 24th, but who knows how long they'll be around at that price. The package comes with the blue Wii, a matching Wii Remote Plus and a Nunchuk.
