Yeah I agree Geometry Wars is dirt cheap. The Wii version I picked up for $2 and change from Gamestop.

Geometry wars is a good call.

How about Gradius Rebirth, Contra Rebirth and Castlevania Rebirth? Did these ever get a solid release? Bomberman Blast? Tetris Party? Adventure Island: The Beginning? Blaster Master: Overdrive? Excitebike: World Rally? What about World of Goo? Lost Winds? Retro city rampage?

Tetris Party did and has held it's value really well.
Bomberman Blast received a phyiscal release in JP only.

The rest of them; however, did not. :( They will forever be confined to the digital realm.

FYI, Retro City Rampage DX did receive a very limited physical release recently on PS4.

World of Goo got numerous digital releases. It calls Steam, iOS, and Android home too.

The two Lost Winds games got great iOS ports.

Just some potentally useful info.

Though not a Wiiware game Wii Geon Cube was a proposed PSP game, then planned as a download for the 360 and officially became a download on PSN. I bought the Wii disc version a few years back, certainly one of the more obscure Wii "Pacman" style of game.

The game is very inexpensive, less then a buck at Gamestop. To get an idea how unknown, only 3 reviews at Amazon.

In my experience, some of the Wii games that are incredibly inexpensive at Gamestop are nonetheless incredibly hard to track down. Despite searching dozens of locations, I am still looking for complete copies of:

Crazy Machines
Death Jr.: Root of Evil
Doctor Fizzwizzle's Animal Rescue
Free Running
Gunslingers
Jerry Rice & Nitus' Dog Football
Penny Racers Party: Turbo Q Speedway
Speed Zone
Veggy World


all of which are incredibly cheap at Gamestop.

I swore you picked up the Jerry Rice game somewhere?

As for the others - I can only comment on Fizzwhistle. I'll assume you want it for the same reasons I did - for the kids...but it's...bad. Not, "Oh this is bad, so bad, it's cheesy I love it!". It's just bad.

The game that has been increasing in value lately is NHL Slapshot. Granted the one with the sticks are the desirable ones.
