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

[prfsnl_gmr]

I looked over the list at CAG and I think it's time for me to finally grab Boom Blox Bash Party. I have the original but I've been waiting for the sequel to get down in price. I'll probably grab Conduit for that price as well (I have the sequel). I might even get SW: The Force Unleashed for shits and giggles. As you said, it's hard to pass up games at these prices.

Do it. The Boom Blox games are a lot of fun. (IMO, they are like 3D "angry birds" games.)

Also, try to pick up the "Special Edition" of The Conduit if possible. Gamestop prices it the same as the regular version, but the "Special Edition" has a neat little art book and a much cooler cover:

If you have a 360 or PS3, however, I would pass on SW: The Force Unleashed. The HD versions are only $1 (360) or $4 (PS3) more than the Wii version of that game.

EDIT: The ones I am thinking about are:

Angry Birds: Star Wars - $9
Namco Museum Remix - $5
Tomb Raider Anniversary - $10
Trauma Team - $10
Arcade Zone - $10
007: Quantum of Solace - $10

I might also splurge and get:

Back to the Future - $13
Namco Museum Megamix - $13

Hopefully, I can find complete copies in stock at some of my local stores.

Thanks for the tip about The Conduit, I will have to keep my eyes peeled for that version.

I do have the 360 version of TFU, but I am always interested to see how games scale down to the "lesser" platform. For the price, I'll probably satiate my curiosity.

I'd recommend skipping over Remix and use the funds for Megamix as it contains the same games as Remix. It is essentially an enhanced version of Remix with additional games.

Is Quantum of Solace similar to the PS2 version? I own that and have actually completed it. I enjoyed it more than the 360/PS3 versions as it was a 3rd person shooter and fairly decent at that.

...but...but...I'm a collector! I'm getting both!

I think so. I have the PS2 version, but as someone who collects both James Bond memorabilia and video games, I have to have the Wii version too! (I have the PS3 version of the game too, but I have not spent much time with it.)

I have the Megamix. It isn't bad.

Though I really wish more Namco compilations would include games like The Tower of Druaga, Rolling Thunder, Dragon Spirit, and Valkyrie no Densetsu as opposed to the usual Pac-Man/Galaga stuff.

I agree, and I always hoped that Namco would simply collect all of the PS1 Namco Museum titles - including the Japan-only "encore" disc - onto a single DVD during the GC/PS2/Xbox generation. I see no reason why it could not have easily done so, but - alas - it did not...

At least, however, the 50th Anniversary disc included Rolling Thunder.

That Conduit game was a Gamestop exclusive, yet has the same used game SKU as the regular edition! Gamestop has done this for many of the Special Edition titles, same price on either version. Look for Cursed Mountain Steelbook, comes with bonus DVD.

One thing nice about the Wii Special Edition games that come with additional unlock codes in the booklet; the unlocks are right on the disc. The same unlocks are also in the regular edition discs, no download needed.

Concur with earlier statement, really no reason to get the earlier Remix when the Megamix is an enhanced version of it with more games. Then again, we probably all have so many repeats on the Namco series on various systems already.

The DS and PSP Namco collections aren't bad. The PSP one even has Dragon Buster!

My Wii collecting has slowed down to a halt. There are a few games I'd still like to pick up but I'm not actively seeking them out, gonna just wait and hope I can find them for cheap. Really wish I had bought Fire Emblem when I had a chance. K-Mart used to stock it here. It was $50 and then it was gone - never had the price drop I was hoping for.

[FerretGamer]

Grabbed a few games on the way home from a client.

Namco Museum Megamix
Boom Blox Bash Party
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels

I also managed to snag complete and minty copies of Folklore (PS3) and Nano Assault (3DS).

The others on my list were disc only so I passed. My collecting for the Wii has also slowed down considerably since I have purchased quite a lot already. I'm just waiting on a few games that have been holding on to the $17.99 price point to drop a little more.

It probably doesn't help that I grabbed my copy from a pawn shop in Lewiston...for $15

I remember I got my complete copy about a year ago from Gamestop for around $30 or so. $44.99 - 10% PUR - 20% B-DAY COUPON - $5.00 PUR CODE. This was when Gamestop allowed the B-DAY coupon to stack with any other PUR codes you had.

As much as people hate on Gamestop, I don't mind since I get fantastic deals on games. You just have to know how to shop there and what to expect as well.
