Why Are You Mad At Gamestop? You Should Be Mad At Nintendo.

Nintendo likes printing copies of their games based on the mood they are in or on the rare occasion of visible meteorite shower. They sell Wii U as a system with backwards compatibility but it is hard to find many of the wii games unless one goes on a crusade from store to store just to find a legitimate new copy of the game.

It is such a joy to give them money.

I can honestly think of 2 Wii games that are pretty expensive in America (Xenoblade and Metroid Prime Trilogy)

The cirsumstances surrounding the former are well explained but about the MPT: It was conceived as a collector´s item from the beginning to "do something for the fans by putting all the games together on a single disc in a collector[']s 'trilogy' edition" (Bryan Walker @ Retro to Mikael Kelbaugh, the president of Retro.

That game hit the bargain bin very soon because nobody bought it (there are many stories circulating around the web of discounted trilogys etc.)

People wanted to wait (for a price drop)...and it did bite them in the ass !

Well i was bit off topic as i was talking about regular wii games no where to be found in stores. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption in finally found a used copy (no new ones to be found). Punch Out Wii managed to find one new copy after searching 3 game stores. Pikmin 2 for Wii is another one hard  to find. 

I know the generation for Wii is over but it would have helped people who picked up Wii U if some of the better games of Wii were not in such short supply. Again not the end of the world for me. It gets quite annoying at times though.
