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 collect for the wii, as well as many other consoles. as for a complete collection no way :P

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!

Truth be told I was all over the Wii collecting wise when it first game out. Then after the first year, when the shovelware and absolute worst of the worst started coming, I sold off a majority of it.

When a console library starts looking like a PC discount bin, it's time for the system to move on.

I'm not a Wii collector, but I've been trying to grab more titles for ours lately. Then again, some good things have been trickling in.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom ftw!!!

I'm focusing more on the older systems and the DS right now, though.

if people can collect complete ps1 or ps2 collections, complete wii collections are within the realm of possibility

I'm not a Wii collector, I'm just not a fan of the system. But I met someone who loves it and although he couldn't tell me how many games he was able to tell me that staked up they are about 8-9 feet tall.

So there are collectors out there.

I currently have 22 Wii titles with 89 more waiting in my wishlist. 2010 is going to be brutal.

I collect for the Wii. All my games are sealed. I own Metroid Prime Trilogy CE. That's it.

[TonyTheTiger]

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

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.

[Oldskool]

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.

[Damaramu]

I've got about 15 or so games. A few of them are still sealed (recent purchases). I'm pretty picky; I'll pick up a game if it's $29 or less. There are a few exceptions where I'll pay full price for a game. I don't do shovelware for the most part.

[j_factor]

I have 88 games for Wii, and this is strictly from acquiring games that I actually want to play (although a couple are questionable, like Wii Play).

[The 1 2 P]

I have five Wii games. Three of them were bought for $10 or less and one came with the system. I only collect them when they are cheap and non-shovelware.
