An image has surfaced online showing that Wal-Mart is apparently planning to sell the Wii U Basic Set for $100 off the suggested retail price starting August 2nd, 2 days before the release of Pikmin 3 in North America. Currently, this is for Canada only, and there’s been no confirmation whether this price drop will become a global standard.

It is also worth noting that rumors have surfaced in the past, by even our own insider at that, suggesting that Nintendo was planning on discontinuing their basic set followed by a price cut of the Deluxe Set. Could this be a leak of what’s possibly to come? Do you think a price cut along with the games releasing thought fall and into 2014 is exactly what Nintendo needs? Perhaps a price cut is just what you were waiting for. Let us know what you think of this in the comment section below.
