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

[Pichu]

SO many awesome games still left to buy. At least the Wii has passed on.

At least it keeps good company - I would hang out with the NES, SNES, N64, and Gamecube any day

So would I! Except I couldn't imagine what kind of family bickering would go on between them.

I think a ton of Wii games have the potential to be worth money. As we head further into an era of DLC and updates, 360 and PS3 games won't retain their value as well as Wii games. 10 years from now when Xbox Live and PSN are nonexistent, unlike 360 and PS3, Wii games will still be complete products out of the box. Also it seems most non first party Nintendo games that are not shovelware have somewhat limited print runs.

10 years from now if you go into a flea market and pick up Marvel vs Capcom 3 for 360, you won't be able to play half the characters because they were downloadable, that won't be an issue with Tatsunoko. If you pick up Fallout New Vegas or Dead Island you will be stuck with unfinished turds because you won't have access to the most recent update.

I think Zack and Wiki, Muramasa The Demon Blade, Sin and Punishment, A Boy and His Blob, The Resident Evil shooters, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, etc will all raise is price substantially in the next few years. Get Wii games now while they are still relatively cheap.

That's What I intend to do! I still need to pick up Sakura wars, sin and punishment, punch out, rhythm heaven, fragile and maybe one of the rune factories. Wii is such a great system despite what people keep saying about it.

Heh I just bought fallout 3 goty and fallout new vegas ultimate edition for that exact reason. Has all the patches and DLC on the disk

Maybe when Wii production has actually stopped.

Heck as far as we know even backwards compatible Wii remains in production.
Given the newer model was never released for Japan.

I remember when Zach & Wiki was some-what pricey. How about Fragile Dreams? I think those may be two possible titles that may be more harder to come by.
I wish I would have nabbed Metroid Prime Trilogy for $30 at my local Cash Converters about 2-3 years ago. Hindsight's 20/20.

I got a steel cased edition of Cursed Mountain, came with the game and double sided (cd) soundtrack. I have never seen a copy like this, it has some sort of demon monk on the cover. Does anyone know if this might be a sought after title.

Don't know how limited it is.

GameStop charges the same for either version.

I came across this game a few years ago at Burlington Coat factory bundled with mortal kombat for $20. I missed out on getting it, they sold out for Christmas.

I tried after a while to find it, but locally, I only found the regular version.. I finally got my special edition copy at a GameStop up in Turlock, CA when I was on vacation.

Afterwards, I did find some near me.

Only time will tell how much this game's gonna be worth

Wii Cursed Mountain Limited Edition - Gamestop $9.99

Same here, bought mine at Gamestop a while back. It was the same used game SKU as the regular edition. It is curious of the value, I'm not sure if it was a Gamestop exclusive or how many were made. The weird thing is even Gamestop own exclusives such as PS2 Final Fantasy XII Tin Case are sold the same SKU as the regular edition used. Makes the hunt more fun when one is found buried in the shelf, knowing its the same price!

A good trick is to use BookOff DVD plastic bags to prevent scratches on cardboard sleeved or tin cases.

Wow. The regular edition of Cursed Mountain looks better than the special edition.

[SNKnicotine]

I think the special edition is rad because it has an intimidating cover, and not many games (on the Wii) have that.
