The Last Story, Skyward Sword and Xenoblade are all amazing games that are worth the money, even if it is not very practical.
Thankfully like you said, The Last Story is only $30.

If you want the other two for a cheaper price, I suggest getting off Amazon or Ebay Used. Those don't cost as much. Or go to Gamestop and try and find one. Good luck.

Well as soon as I finish a couple ps4 games I will definitely pick up last story. 

 

But I'm not paying over 50 for a Wii game. Let alone 80. No matter how good the game is. I'm a bit cheap. Lol. 

If you are being absolutely ripped off being asked prices like 100+ for used wii games from 3rd parties you might consider modding your wii, I'm sure the thought of stealing money from Nintendo is of course bad... but you aren't talking about giving cash to Nintendo for these rare games, they simply didn't print enough of them and scalpers are cashing in on that fact on ebay or even shops like gamestop have pushed up the price of rarer Wii games, none of this money you pay would go back to the big N in the sky anyway.

I have my launch day wii modded simply for convience sake, the online service to the console was shut down so there was no risk of running into issues online and Wii games just aren't available new anymore here with my local 2nd hand market filled with 100s of copies of the same few popular games.

Might not be a popular opinion but for me Legit games > Piracy > Scalpers.
