Since being announced along with the Wii price cut (http://www.1up.com/news/wii-price-officially-drops-14999-may-15) in May, no additional titles have been added to the Nintendo Select line of budget Wii titles. That will reportedly be changing soon with the addition of some other quality titles.
Retail sources have indicated that four more Nintendo games will be joining the budget line, according to Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5828788/rumor-four-more-wii-games-have-been-selected-for-nintendo-selects-budget-line): Super Paper Mario (http://www.1up.com/games/wii/super-paper-mario), Super Mario Galaxy (http://www.1up.com/games/wii/super-mario-galaxy), Punch-Out (http://www.1up.com/games/wii/punch-out/), and Mario Strikers Charged (http://www.1up.com/games/wii/mario-strikers-charged). That's not a bad offering of titles for $19.99 each, particularly from Nintendo, a company that traditionally likes to maintain the premium pricing of its games for longer than most. There's no word on exactly when the games would get their new, discounted prices, but it'll be happening sometime in August.
The original four Select games were Mario Super Sluggers (http://www.1up.com/games/wii/mario-super-sluggers), Wii Sports (http://www.1up.com/games/wii/wii-sports) (replaced by Mario Kart Wii (http://www.1up.com/games/wii/mario-kart-wii) as the Wii's bundled game), The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (http://www.1up.com/games/wii/zelda-twilight-princess), and Animal Crossing: City Folk (http://www.1up.com/games/wii/animal-crossing-city-folk).
