I`d say only about 4 of them have been collecting dust since being finished.

Wow. Every single one of my Wii games is starting to collect dust.

I really enjoy SMGalaxy, Punch Out, Mario Kart, RE4, Fit, and sometimes Endless Ocean, but I find myself playing a lot more Genesis than Wii. Good for you though, you know what you like.

yeah i`ve got a large collection, but almost all of it is stuff I enjoy. Almost everything gets played more than once even though it takes over a year to get around to some things the second time. Out of the 4 Wii games I said collect dust 3 of them were gifts so i`ve only made 1 poor wii purchase.

That is awesome.

I think a lot of people here would say you are nuts and like shitty games (the Wii does have a good percentage of shovelware) but I always respect someone who isn't afraid to say what they like regardless of others opinions (illegal things aside). Keep up that collection.

I wont deny that there is a lot of shovelware on the Wii. But just because of the sheer amount of games on it there are lots of good ones too. My wife asked me to make her a Christmas list so I just popped off around 50 Wii games I'd still like to get. I think i've got pretty broad gaming tastes though. I'll try (and like in most cases) anything as long as its not to vulgar. It might be surprising to some, but the only Wii game I've not liked that I purchased was No More Heroes. It made me chuckle a couple times, but its just a little to much for my tatses. But give me Cooking Mama and i'll be happy for hours!!

I know exactly what you're talking about. I probably like Diablo style games more than I should. For instance I really enjoyed Harbinger because it was not fantasy based and it looked nice, though it got mostly meh reviews. Though I suppose these fulfill compulsive urges.
