Nintendo announces new line of ‘select’ titles

While this may be old news to some, Â Nintendo has just confirmed a new round of titles to be given the budget treatment and become a part of the Nintendo Selects line of games. Starting August 28th, Super Paper Mario, Mario Strikers Charged, Punch-Out!!, and Super Mario Galaxy will all be available for purchase at the low price of $19.99. This follows the previous four titles that have received the select treatment.
It is no secret that in the past couple of months the Nintendo Wii has faced hard times at retail. This move will surely increase retail interest, but will it be enough to get starved Wii owners through until Skyward Sword releases this holiday? My game collection already contains all of the titles in the Nintendo Selects line of games, and I have an inkling that gamers that have had their Wii from the beginning will be in the same boat.
You know what would really be rad? How about a Nintendo Selects line for the 3DS? $40 per game is killer!
Will you be selecting any of these titles?
