The UPC and product codes are all different between the two.

Here are three random Wii games that I bought today:

Animal Kingdom: Wildlife Expedition - $3
Bermuda Triangle: Saving the Coral - $2
Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll - $6

I am not sure any of them will ever be valuable, but tracking down a CIB copy of Bermuda Triangle was very, very difficult.

Good for you, I like the obscure too. I picked up a SECOND copy (for backup) each CIB of The Munchables and Sky Crawlers for the Wii. Both not as well known and very inexpensive under five bucks total at Gamestop!

Knocked out a couple via a trade with mjmjr25:

WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Elebits
Endless Ocean
NBA Jam
Boom Blox Bash Party
MLB Power Pros (sealed!)

I'm visiting a new GameStop today that's near my work. Still on the lookout for Castle of Shikigami III and Klonoa.

Thinking of adding the No More Heroes series of games to my list. I'd like to just get them for the Wii but is the PS3 re-release of the first worth it?

I like them, and I enjoyed my time with the first game. Moreover, the sequel remains a Wii exclusive, and it was very well-reviewed. Accordingly, I recommend adding these games to your Wii collection.

I have also read that the PS3 port of the original is not that great. (I have read that it is basically a 1:1 port with a lot of added screen tearing and stuttering.)

Huh... thanks for that tidbit. I still usually go with PS3 ports over anything if I can, but I do need to work on my Wii library hehe.

I am the same way, and while I plan to pick up the PS3 port at some point, I am in no hurry to do so. (Moreover, the motion controls in No More Heroes were very satisfying to me, and I do not think I would like the game quite as much without them.)

I was at kmart buying some other clearance games and they had Sonic Colors for $6 on clearance. YMMV of course but I know its one of the better sonic games, not rare by any means but just wanted to give a heads up.
