Too early to start talking about rare/valuable Wii games?

They're $29.99 on Amazon, or on sale on Mad Catz's online store for $19.99 through the 17th I think (PS3 pads are $9.99). I saw the sticks for like $27 during Black Friday/Cyber monday sales, then they went back to $50ish, now back down to that.
I know some stuff like the SF Anniversary pads for PS2 and XBox have stuck around the $15 mark for a long time is all.

By quote, do you mean signature? (I apologize if it's appearing elsewhere, 'cause it isn't for me)

If you go to the Options section for your Backloggery account, down at the bottom there's a url to copy/paste.

Yeah, all games made by "ZOO" are shovelware.

Not true! Most games published by "ZOO Games" are shovelware trash, but there are a couple of very decent titles hidden in their catalog. Order Up! is a very good casual game where you manage restaurants and prepare dishes for customers. It might not appeal to core gamers, but does a solid job and is fun to play. Groovin' Blocks is worth trying if you like that the block-dropping genre of puzzle games. The catch here is that you need to time your moves according to the rhythm of each stage to rack up point multipliers and unlock more content.

Both were budget titles released cheap and easily found (or at least they used to be) in the $10 price range later... not sure if either/both have gone up in price since. Actually wouldn't be surprised to see Order Up! in particular take a jump since it's one of those games that most people ignored when first released and probably is long out of print by now.

(Reminds me of the entire Wii library though: good games exist, but are easy to overlook due to all the junk on the shelves.)

Which this topic ended up turning into, sort of. I can't wait until years down the line when everyone filters the junk out of their mind and give the Wii the credit it deserves.

Picked up a few games for the Wii at my local EB:

Arc Rise Fantasia - 19.99
Guilty Gear Accent Core Plus - 9.99
DBZ Budokai 2 - 7.99

There was also a copy of 101 in 1 for 14.99, and I'm thinking of going back to grab it later. Sadly, no Dokapon Kingdom or Data East Collection

I don't know about the others but that is a damn good deal. I have been thinking about picking all the Wii games on my list for some time now. Now that the Wii U is out hopefully it will be a little easier with people upgrading and getting rid of their older games (maybe not though). It does seem all the used games I have been finding lately (not just Wii) have been poorly taken care and scratched to hell though.

Updated list by underlining games that might not fit the bill.

Did anyone mention "Zack & Wiki Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure" yet? Used its not fetching too much, but new is going for $50.

My opinions on some of those underlined

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 - Went out of print mid way and I believe already fetches a premium
Fishing Resort - The bundle can already be spotted at high prices when listed online
The Last Story - Maybe not but it is an end of life RPG and had a collectors edition. They might not get real high but it will probably stay high.
Trauma Center [Series] - Will probably stay middle ground
