Is there much market for a Wii?
« on: May 15, 2017, 10:17:52 AM »
I've been thinking of selling our Wii and all the games and controllers we have. But yesterday, my two daughters started replaying a game that my oldest beat a few years ago.

Is it worth trying to sell it?

Honestly I'd just keep it.

I have a super humid garage. Due to the way the land lies it just gets ridiculously wet in there. I had a car with a semi-failed ignition coil and on really wet days it would misfire terribly before warming up. If you ever parked it anywhere else it would be fine.

Now my newer TDI has a slight hesitation sometimes after being parked there, possibly the same cause, although obviously problematic for different physical reasons since this engine has no ignition coil. Maybe the injector tips foul slightly if the first fire if day is super wet...don't know. I left town for a week, drove all over Ohio and Kentucky and didn't see this problem once.

Btw, the Miata starts fine, no issues relating to this.


[EDIT] Sorry, this was meant for the mold/humidity thread.

Miata...MIATA!?!?!?



I will hopefully be the owner of a Miata soon. Trying to work out a trade for my current project to get a Miata.

I still have the Wii and playing it with my kids is still fun.

Of course, they are 5.5, 5.5 and 13 years old. So, they go along with my suggestions.

I will gladly buy any games you want to sell me (obviously, they need to be non-crap)

:)

I use my Wii mainly for PCE and MD emulation, which it does almost perfectly.

Wii is awesome. It's basically a GameCube so you can play GC games without emulation using component cables. Also, you can hack it and play NES, SNES, MD, TG games via very good emulation.

Keep it for bowling and tennis!! I still think they're really fun.

I've also been meaning to pick up Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2. They're cheap and look pretty good.

So keep it.

Do it. They are definitely worth playing and well worth their going rate compared to many titles.

Galaxy is great! Although the second installment just felt like more of the same.

Absolutely worth keeping, not only has it a very nice and unique game library (when you dig past all the shovel ware that is) it also has a built in GC, which means that its the best way to play GC games unless you have that ridiculously expensive GC component cable.
And it gets even better, Wii is very easy to modify to play all kinds of emulators and ISOs.
Besides you would not get much from it.

Oh definitely, just like the NSBM games are all samey. But I don't mind paying $10 for more levels of fun. Full retail on the other hand meh.

Oh, and Mario Galaxies are great. Be sure to play Donkey Kong Country Returns aswell. It almost feels like a SNES/PCE game sprinkled with updated visuals.
