Well a lot of those are on the VC but it is probably cheaper to just get those few carts and an NES clone then a Wii and 2 points cards.

 

There are costs besides money. Also, there are benefits besides simply being able to play the game. Cartridges and consoles take up space (in the OP's case, enough space for a bar) and AV connections. VC games don't require you to stand up to switch cartridges, allow you to use a wireless controller, and freeze any game you're playing when you switch games.

Sure, it would be nice, if given infinite resources, to be a collector. But since I live in a limited space, it's nice just to be able to play those games on one console.

There are a lot of reasons to get a Wii beyond just those, even without getting games on disc there is also WiiWare and entire other consoles of VC games.
