Opoona is an interesting game that people might want to look out for. Nice little RPG and it is under $3 at gamestop snagged a complete copy a while back :). There is still one copy about 33 miles away from me but the game is starting to get pretty scarce.

I have 250+ Wii games at this point, and I am hoping to acquire 43 more to complete my collection. I suggest that retrosportsgamer look into:

Alien Syndrome
Arc Rise Fantasia
Back to the Future
Batman: The Brave & The Bold
Bit.Trip Complete
Centipede Infestation
Cursed Mountain
de Blob/de Blob 2
Domino Rally
Excitebots: Trick Racing
Excite Truck
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time
Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobos Dungeon
GTI: Supermini Festa
Heatseeker
Ivy the Kiwi
The Kore Gang
Little King's Story
Lost in Shadow
Madworld
Monster Hunter Tri
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars
No More Heroes/No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
Obscure: The Aftermath
Okami
Opoona
Red Steel 2
Rhythm Heaven Fever
Samba De Amigo
Sam & Max Seasons 1 & 2
Secret Files: Tunguska
Shiren the Wanderer
Spyborgs
Super Swing Golf/Super Swing Golf Season 2
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
Tiger Woods PGA Tour '12: The Masters
Wario Land: Shake It!
We Love Golf!
We Ski & Snowboard

The underlined games carry my highest recommendation. (Some of the others might be just as good, but I have not played through all of these games yet.) Also, if you grew up in the '90s - and despite the fact that none of them are "good" - you may also like:

Dragon's Lair Trilogy
Mad Dog McCree: Gunslinger's Pack
Target Terror

Finallym, you should consider picking up:

Impossible Mission
Indiana Jones & The Staff of Kings

because they contain awesome "retro gaming" bonus features. (Indiana Jones & The Staff of Kings contains the LucasArts PC classic Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis!)

As Fragems noted, many of these are practically free at GameStop right now; so if you are interested in building a Wii collection, now is the time to do it.

Opoona kicks ass. Got it for $9.99 new at GS a few years back.

Damn, I'm at 175 games and I thought I had a lot. :lol: I have around another 100 games on my want list at Amazon. There are at least 15 games I still need to import and luckily they are cheap as well.

I didn't realize that Staff of Kings had the bonus game. I picked that up over the weekend, another cheapo game.

HOLY POOPIES look what I just got!!!
Went to gamestop to buy metal slug anthology.
Found castle of shikimigi?
nights into dreams missing manual
muramasa missing manual
sin and punishment missing manual
And the last game metal slug anthology, which was disc only, looked at the disc and the guy screwed up it's freaking Metroid prime trilogy!!!!!! SCORE
I used a 10.00 off coupon and it was only 21.00. WHAT A DEAL.

Wario Land: Shake it!
Little King’s Story
Dead space extraction

I grabbed a few more games today.

Sega Superstars Tennis and Super Swing Golf for a whopping 89 cents each, which I couldn't pass up.

I also finally found a minty copy of Overlord: Dark Legend.

Edit: I also saw a game I've never seen or heard of before.

I've been looking for a complete Overlord for sometime. I actually found one over the weekend but put it back because it had sharpie writing on the front of the case (on the paper).

Speed Zone looks interesting; apparently, it has 8 player multiplayer support. I'll have to go back and grab it. I was in a rush and didn't check the real price since it was tagged for a much higher amount.
