Has Gamestop cleared out all the Wii Games?

I saw a few vids on youtube stating that they have already marked the prices extremely low to around 10 dollars or less. Has this happened in your area? I'm still waiting for this to happen as the prices are still kind of high for my liking.

Other than some remaining new content (A lot of GameStop's around me still have opened, but "new", copies of Gunblade NY and LA Machine Guns for $20), some of the most recent 3rd party content like the last Tiger Woods golf game or two, most 1st party classics like Super Mario Galaxy 2, and a few other releases like Fragile Dreams, it's pretty much $10 and under.

I've cleared a lot of my Wii want list this year and have averaged about $4 a game for the 25 games or so that I've added (My first used Wii purchases since the first 75 or so that I've bought since buying a Wii in 2007 ended up all being bought sealed, since I don't buy used if I'm just saving 2 or 3 bucks). And about 20 of those had original cases, manuals, and inserts. I have about five, mostly in PS2 cases, that will need new cases and replacement inserts though.

Unless you're on the hunt for games like Skyward Sword, chances are it will be under $10. For 1st party, expect $20 to as high as $50 or so for used copies with just rare exceptions (Excitetruck and Excitebot ran me $5 or so combined when I recently bought them, for an example of a 1st party deal).

I'm sure I'll add a few games here and there in the coming years, but I'm basically done with my Wii collection.

you have any suggestions on any games that werent blockbusters that were under the radar?

Here's a list of games that flew under the radar and don't cost very much.

-Vertigo
-Minicopter: Adventure Flight
-Battleship (Reminds me of Super Battleship for the Genesis/SNES)
-Emergency Heroes
-Data East Arcade Classics
-GT Pro (Probably not for most, but as a fan of the GBA games, I enjoyed this 3D take)
-Maximum Racing: GP Classic Racing (Looks like shovelware, but I ended up enjoying it)
-Sky Crawlers Innocent Aces
-Super PickUps
-TrackMania
-GTI Club
-Cruis'n
-Target: Terror
-Mercury Meltdown Revolution
-Mystery Case Files
-Real Heroes: Firefighter
-Wii Play (Has a poor reputation, but I thought the tank minigame made it worthwhile)
-Marble Saga: Kororinpa & Kororinpa: Marble Mania
-Indianapolis 500 Legends

None really qualify as "hidden gems". They're just decent, but easily missed games that don't cost very much to acquire.

Not sure if it's a hidden gem, but Rooms by Hudson was a pretty neat game. Also, the remake of A Boy and His Blob was adorable. I haven't seen a game that conveyed that sense of innocence to me in... probably ever. Gunblade NY/LA Machine Guns was a cool compilation of Sega light gun arcade games, too, and can be had for a song. The game I played the most, though, was Fortune Street, though it's hardly hidden, what with Mario being in it.

Wii sections down to one small bin at the gamestop closest to me, 95% cheap sports/shovelware games & overpriced heavily used 1st party titles.

Gamestop's around me had gamecube games as recently as 2-3 years ago so I'm sorta surprised they're dumping wii games with how poorly the wiiU's been selling.
