Who has a Wii collection?

[pooch]

I tried to search for this topic but could not find anything because I can't think of any word to replace "Wii" such that the search engine would register as it will not recognize any search word with fewer than 4 letters.

I don't see too many Wii collectors out there maybe because of the sheer number of shovelware in the library. Plus it is a huge library so it would be very difficult for completist. On the plus side though, most titles could be have for cheap so it's not so bad if you are trying to complete the set.

So I just wonder if we have any active and dedicated collectors on here? What are your thoughts on Wii collecting? I would love to hear about them.

I think you just found out why you're not seeing many dedicated collectors.

I've got like 12 Wii games, mainly because I got one at launch and then started focusing on older systems afterward. There's about 15 more games I'd like to own though.

I have a Wii collection. It's six games strong, and by the time I'm done it'll be at least twice that!

Not to crap on the Wii, it fills a niche.

I bet anyone collecting Wii has quite a sealed collection!

Hahahaha!

I have close to 100 titles, and I can honestly say around 80% of them are still sealed!

I collect...when the price is right. $5 or less? Sure, will pick it up, no matter how "shovelware" the game is.

How ironic.

How ironic.

Hey I have that (non 2010 Edition)...and it's still sealed!

Yeah, I'm usually the same way unless I have some reason to believe the game is genuinely a waste of space on my already cramped shelves. I figure I got my money's worth from the 30 minutes or so I spent with The Monkey King and Octomania, for example.

I don't know if you'd consider it a collection, but there is about 6 games sitting on the shelf collecting dust. Virtual Console get's played more than anything.

Man, I know PS2 had some bad shovelware titles too. Mediocre fishing, hunting, and video board games, as well as some really terrible mainstream genres.

[ubersaurus]

I do, sort of. I have 23 games for it, all of which games I wanted to play. I don't buy anything for a new console that I'm not already interested in.

There's probably 10 or so other Wii games I'm interested in picking up when the price drops, as well as quite a few upcoming ones I want.

I had up to 40-45 and was collecting some misc. crap. I have a few speculative "rares" including 2x Fritz Chess (one sealed), an opened F1 2009, and a sealed One Piece: Unlimited Adventure. I picked up some shovelware or less notable releases just because. I sold some of the fat though, so now it's probably down to 30.

Shovelware or not, it would be cool to see someone assemble a complete Wii collection. Would definitely be unique I think.
