Mista_Ed Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Thought id share my wii / wii u collection - been building this up over the past few years, its a brilliant system and often overlooked by hardcore gamers - largely cos of the motion controls....Some games however, execute the use of motion controls AMAZINGLY well, and i actually find this one of the most endearing things about the wii in general. the wii u was nintendos biggest flop - only 180 odd games ever made, so its also a short set to go for, if youre a completist in the sense. Ive recently found out that games like mario kart wii CAN in fact be played with wiimote AND nunchuck - so it works in exactly the same way as it would, using a traditional game pad - this is the case for most games as well, so motion controls can be avoided if u really hate them ive got most of these for just a couple of quid each - there are some super rare ones in amongst too, but mostly cheap as chips!! its grown a fair bit since ive taken these pictures actually, probably another 50 or so to add to this lot. does anyone else collect physical games here? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Nice collection man! I haven't bought a physical game since the Xbox One came out 10 years ago. I used to sell older systems and games as new systems came out and since every game became available digitally, I just get them that way instead. The only physical games I own now are for the Xbox 360, which I never got around to selling (I still have 2 Xbox 360 consoles that I haven't used for years too). I have maybe 40-50 physical Xbox 360 games, so nothing like your collection, but there's a couple of nice collector's editions amongst them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBearOne8III Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 i buy physicals when i can. especially since everybody in my house either has a switch or switch lite. you cant share downloaded games. Its easier to buy the physical once and share those. my ps4 games are half physical half digital. i catch a lot of digital copies on dirt cheap sales. sometime under $10 for some really good games. we picked up a used wii u a few years ago. i ended up getting breath of the wild on the wii u for like $15 when it was $60 on the switch. exact same game. The wii u is actually a good console. Ive played plenty of splatoon matches on the wii u. then the ability to play on the gamepad while everyone else is watching regular tv. that was genius. i think the wii u was just ahead of its time. the actual nintendo licensed games are dope. its just the other games that should be left to playstation and xbox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 YES YES YES! Those are two mega slept on system. Great collection man! Mine is decent but yours tops it. Although I would wager I have more amiibos and skylander figures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBearOne8III Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 i grabbed a huge bag of skylanders with portals for the wii and xbox 360 a few years ago. lady sold it to me for like $40. im not sure how many they made but that bag was packed full of skylanders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdiggla Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 The name was a big part of that fail. The Wii had so many add ons then you put out a new console also with Wii in it... even I was confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Here is my modest collection. I don't have boxes for everything tho. EDIT: Reminder that the eshop closes permanently in 5 days for 3DS and WiiU. Definately getting some 3DS games before then. Need to hook my WiiU up and see how much memory I have. https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/23-best-wii-u-eshop-games-you-should-get-before-theyre-gone-forever https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/39-best-3ds-eshop-games-you-should-get-before-theyre-gone-forever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdiggla Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Thought i had posted on here about what game systems I should setup when I revamped my TV room but can't find it so maybe not. Anyways, Had lots of options but went with Atari 7800, SNES, Xbone S and WiiU. Have a Wii and PS4 setup in my office. Leaving the odd men out: PS3, NES, Sega Master System, C64. PS3 I'm sad isn't setup. That's a fun system. NES is dope but can be a pain to get the games to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
