New Super Mario Bros. Wii dated

US and UK in November.

Nintendo has announced that the rumoured 15th November release date for New Super Mario Bros. Wii in the US is accurate.

Update: Nintendo Europe has subsequently said we can expect the game on 20th November. Ya-hoo!

The news came as the platform holder also confirmed that it would be cutting the US and Japanese price of the Wii itself. The US model will be $199 from Sunday.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii was announced at E3 this year and turned out to be our game of the show, taking the traditional side-scrolling 2D platformer and giving it a wicked multiplayer edge.
