The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006. The Wii's main selling point was the innovative use of motion controls that its signature Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers allowed for. It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.

Are there any good deals on Wii's right now?

What country are you in? 
 
In Australia they are dong plenty of deals with as many as 4 games free, so I imagine it is much the same elsewhere.  Some of the games are utter crap though, so you would be best shopping around.

Man that sounds pretty sweet, but I live in the states. I think target had something going on where you could get a wii and wii sports resort for $200 but I dont think they are doing it anymore.

The best possible, that I can think of, is buying one that is used.  hell, there might be some advantages to a used one such as downloaded software (if they didn't delete it that is.) 
 
Amazon.com 
Ebay 
 
The used stuff seem to be going for about $150. 
 
You could also give yourself some leg room and calculate a strategy to lower the cost.  Buy a broken console and send it to Nintendo to be repaired for $50 to $75.  Some consoles may have missing parts, which you can easily replace. 
Nintendo has an online store in which you can replace part for the system. 
Nintendo Store

@dawnofthesean: Walmart has a deal right now. Might be the best deal unless you wanna go used.

@demontium:  I know Sega should make another Jet Set Radio. I miss beat. 
 
@Dalai: Yeah thats probably what I'm going to do. Get that package with Wii Play for the extra controller.

I just got one...again...at Gamestop. They're giving away a new free copy of Wii Sports Resort with it. That includes the Wii MotionPlus. I thought it was a good deal.
 
Not sure why I got a Wii again, but that's okay.
