Wii Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I cannot believe someone posted this. I was doing my best to forget I saw that. I thought it was a tennis game at first glance, I had to do a double take when I seen the photo. And it's skipping the Wii U. Thank God for small mercies.

Glen-i Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 It's pretty much the first video game version of my favourite sport. You're the one who asked for this aren't you? I mean, wow. This is so unnecessary, it's hilarious!
Zechs Merquise Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Wowzers! That is insane. I can understand complete collections of games for systems like the N64 or even the GC - and UK collections are relatively easy. But every single Wii game, that is amazing. I am seriously envious. Hats off to that man!
Dcubed Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Wowzers! That is insane. So... much... white! That's an incredible collection! Pretty unique as well amongst collectors. You've seen people with complete NES collections before, but how many have you seen with a complete Wii collection? This is the first that I know of!
Hero-of-Time Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 That is insane. The amount of shovelware on that shelf must be crazy.
nekunando Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 It's definitely cool to see every single Wii game all in one collection but there definitely has to be some awful stuff in there I currently own 71 Wii games, to my knowledge, and even then there are a few that I would happily trim from the collection, such as MadWorld, Virtua Tennis 2009 and Grand Slam Tennis
V. Amoleo Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 With the DSi shop closing it's made me want to pick up titles from the Wii Shopping Channel before they decide to close that now that the Switch has no access to it. What I have learnt is that you get screwed over if you buy a eShop card and redeem it on there. £25 translates to 2900 where you could get 3000 points for £21 buying it direct. Just thought I'd drop it in here to warn people.

Sméagol Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 I will have a look soon. I will at the very least redownload (almost) everything I've ever purchased, to store in the notorious fridge. I may even buy some stuff for old time's sake.. If anyone has any VC or Wiiware suggestions.. I will probably get the DLC for Megaman 10. If I buy the NES classic next year, I'll have a proper controller to play those games. I never bothered much with VC, I only bought some Japanese "imports" and a few classics / curiosities from other consoles I never owned. I have both shovelware and some gems on the Wiiware-side.. I had great fun with the Megaman games (IntiCreates, there they are again), My life as a King, World of Goo, and both Lost Winds games (want a sequel!). Maybe I should get Bit.Trip.Runner. I was considering Chrono Trigger, but I fear I spoilt myself by watching let's play videos of roughly half the game.
nekunando Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 I might end up buying a couple of other games just to finish off the Wii collection, such as Castlevania Rebirth and maybe a few of the Neo Geo games 1
killthenet Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 I might go on and add a bunch of points, would be a shame to miss out on some of the VC gems that didn't get a release on Wii U. Especially considering I have a proper SNES and NES controller to connect to a Wiimote.
Grazza Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 Best thing I bought on Wii Virtual Console was Golden Axe. The only chance I've had to own the shorter, more exciting arcade game - bring it to Switch, Sega! 1
V. Amoleo Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 While we’re listing games on there I think it’s worth mentioning that the Wii VC is the only place you can get the original Castlevania Rondo of Blood. It’s 900 points.
V. Amoleo Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Just a reminder that you will not be able to buy Wii Points past Monday 26th March 2018. These are the games I'm currently looking to buy: Castlevania Rondo of Blood Bomberman Blast Crystal Defenders R1 Crystal Defenders R2 Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord (+ it's DLC) Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (+ it's DLC) Contra ReBirth Gradius ReBirth Pokemon Rumble I already own some games on there but I think the above are the remaining exclusives that are worth me picking up. Anybody else looking to purchase Wii Shop games before it's too late? 1 1

Anybody else looking to purchase Wii Shop games before it's too late? I've thought about it, and some day I may regret it if I don't pick a few things up, but since moving house in August I basically play exclusively on Switch and PS4 so I'm not sure if I'll really get into anything I'd download on Wii now In fact, I feel myself wanting to wait for Switch versions of everything before I commit more time to those games. Even something like Tropical Freeze, which I own and have cleared on Wii U, is in an odd position as I haven't found every collectable yet but the desire to return to it has significantly diminished knowing a Switch version is now on the way..
Mandalore Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Tempted to get a couple of WiiWare games whilst it's still possible. Bonsai Barber just for curiosities sake, being made by ex Rare devs. Is Dr Mario Online RX still worth it, or was the online a significant part of the game?
Julius Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) There were a lot of games I was interested in getting on Wii VC (namely Final Fantasy VI and the port of the SNES version of Chrono Trigger), but I think I'm going to just hold out and pray that a fully fleshed out Virtual Console makes its way over to Switch (hopefully before the year's end). As I never owned a Wii U, I actually still use my Wii quite regularly (600+ hours in Smash Bros. Brawl last time I checked), but not yet knowing anything the situation with regards to Switch VC makes it especially pestering to decide whether or not to start purchasing GC and Wii games from my backlog (let alone Virtual Console ones). I've got my eye on a bunch of games I'd love to play, but would be so much easier to plough through at home or on the go, such as Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Super Mario Sunshine, the Metroid Prime games, Xenoblade Chronicles and the Super Mario Galaxy games. I hope we learn something soon, because I'm going to be gutted if I've missed out on playing something like Final Fantasy VI on VC for a while (and I'd rather own it on Switch, when I get one, than on the SNES Mini).

V. Amoleo Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 I'm going to sound like a broken record but we're now approaching the last 14 days so I think another reminder is in order. You will not be able to buy Wii Shop Points past Monday 26th March 2018. 3
nekunando Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 I've been thinking about that again this week, @V. Amoleo, and I reckon I'll check the Wii Shop Channel tonight to see if I wish to make any final purchases. If we knew what was in store for the Switch VC I'd maybe be done but as it stands the Wii is still the most all-encompassing Nintendo console and its fridge deserves to be filled! 1
V. Amoleo Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) So this is my possible Wii shopping list, items which are striked out are ones I've already bought.

I've even tried to cut it down (Not all the My Life DLC for example). The VC games I've picked are mostly ones which I think licensing issues will make them difficult to re-release. Think I'm missing anything? You will not be able to buy Wii Shop Points past Monday 26th March 2018. That's just over one week away. Edited March 24, 2018 by V. Amoleo Made some purchases and removed some from list. 1 1
Ike Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Is it really worth getting those Bomberman games when R is on the Switch? Personally, I wouldn't bother with Pokemon Rumble, there's a 3DS and Wii U version, or WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase because isn't the service dead when they killed the servers for the Wii/DS.?
