So that Wii Fit U thing came in. The thing is a solid piece of kit for $25. The pedometer is a re-skin of the Pokewalker that came with the Gen 2 Pokemon remakes. Balance board is solid and has weight to it. Plan on giving it a go this weekend. Hey maybe it'll help me lose weight. That's the idea.

If anyone is interested in the Star Fox + Star Guard pack, there's an Amazon seller (ships through Amazon) selling it for $42.50. There were 12 available at one time, down to 6 now.

We may have discussed this but I couldn't find it. Are there any games that people think will be hard to find and get expensive going forward. I can think of several.

Brunswick Bowling
Rapala Fishing
Hello Kitty
Rodea LE
Tokyo Mirage Sessions SE
Ducktales Day 1 version w/ pin
Mario Kart LE
Wind Waker LE

Anything I'm missing that should be on our radars as things come to a close?

Wii Sports Club and Wii Party U are both pretty rare, and Game and Wario is getting there. I managed to snag Hello Kitty Kruisers CIB for $20 the other day.

I grabbed a couple for $8 from a pawn shop shortly after I received my Wii U. It is a pretty terrible game.

It is cute, but it is very, very slow. It also doesn't control that well, and the graphics are like something from a late-era PS1 game. Also, the racers are distinguishable only in appearance.

Man, I didn't catch Game & Wario jumping like that. You can't even pull up pre-owned copies on Game Stop to see if they're available at a store.

I probably shouldn't have but I just picked up Game & Wario for $30. Not a great price but not terrible either.
