Attn System Hoarders, Check your Wii's!

[Niku-Sama]

so I know a lot of people out there are like me. oh heres XXX system for $5 or so and grab it for parts or just because

well i forgot the wii online services are getting shut off at the end of the month so i decided to try and get on some of those spares to see if the previous owner left any points or games on them that can be downloaded.

so far the first one i have tried has:

Cave Story
some Dr Mario online thing
Zelda II
Punch Out
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles My Life As King (?)
Metal Slug 2
Secret of Mana
Punch out w/ Mr Dream

and a few others

You can mod the Wiis and download any Wiiware game you need, which would probably be the only way to preserve these games besides buying dozens/hundreds of consoles hoping to find the games you want.

[Niku-Sama]

eh some people just dont want to do that.

plus maybe theres something they missed

I think you have to have at least 500 points to do anything with them. I checked my Wii recently to confirm I had everything downloaded and to see if I had any points left, but there's nothing I can do with the 200 points I have left.

Will this affect the ability to softmod the wii with homebrew channel?

If you don't have it already, you might want to pick up the patch for Skyward Sword while it's still available... just in case you get the game at some point.

Are there any other games like that?
