A spokesperson for Nintendo UK has confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that the price of software for the next-gen Wii console will be "broadly in line" with the cost of current-gen games.
The confirmation follows a suggestion by Electronic Arts that Nintendo's first-party titles will go on sale for US$49.99. That would put games like Super Mario Galaxy on store shelves for US$10 less than their first-party Xbox 360 equivalents.
Clarification of the comments was not immediately available, but a Nintendo UK spokesperson pointed out that the company made similar remarks at E3.
Indeed, as early as March, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata told CNN Money: "I cannot imagine any first party title could be priced for more than $50."
However, Iwata added that Nintendo will have no control over how other publishers price their Wii games.
That is great to see that one of the gaming gods doesnt want to take our last penny. Thanks nintendo for keeping it real.
