REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Nintendo has taken its lumps, but it’s fighting back today with a price cut for the Wii U video game console.

Effective Sept. 20, Nintendo is cutting the price of the deluxe set of the Wii U console by $50, lowering it to $300. At the same time, Nintendo will launch a new limited edition bundle, The Legend of Zelda edition with black hardware. The system will have 32GB of storage, a special etched GamePad with Zelda lettering, a downloadable version of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, and a digital version of the Hyrule Historia book.
