Forums - Nintendo - Collecting Every Wii Game Is Difficult, But This Guy Did It Anyway

At first I was like "the Wii has much more than just 1260 games", but then remembered that the rest must be digital only title then. So, good job.

Also he only got the ones that where released in North America.

The guy in the video has ten complete collections and he is working on 11 which will be all the games released in North America on the PS1.



At $4 per game I'd have way more games than I do now. But nothing close to that number. And he has complete collections for most other Nintendo systems. we're talking 10's of thousands of dollars here.

What the guy should do is start a Nintendo and Sega museum and charge people to come see it / play it. That way every game purchase is a business expense and hence tax deductable.

Too much shovelware to be an accomplishment to me. That's just a sad waste of time and money.



I'll go ahead and get every Wii U game! Wish me luck!

(20 games later)

Finally! I have completed my journey!

Impressive... To say the least.

 

They are actually a little expensive in Europe. In America, you can find many for aroud 99 cents. Right now is the perfect time for these people to go after it. I doubt that many of these games shipped more than 1 thousand to ten thousand copies.

 


the odds are this guy paid something like 10$ ea for hundreds of the Wii titles. I yard sales and scavenge sometimes, and people are not all just throwing away their Wii games for 1$ each

generally at flea markets and yard sales these days people are pricing aggressively 

 

This guy probably spent like 5-10 grand completing his Wii set. 

 

I find it a lot more impressive when people complete old sets by grinding and hunting around at yard sales and such. if money isn't an issue then anyone can complete a set, which makes it less impressive

 

of course the Wii is easier to complete now than other things, but there is no way this guy was patient enough to wait around Gamestops and yard sales for even half of the titles. no way

Yeah, that's totally insane. Need a whole library worth of cabinets and shelves to store all those games.



That is indeed a good chunk of shovelware games within that library.

Very impressive collection!

He admitted that 1/3 of the games for the wii are shovelware.... I reallly think he is being nice to the system if he thinks that 2/3's of the games aren't shovelware, considering there are 3 pieces of shovelware that are actually the same game reskinned I think the Wii got hit the hardest I've seen in my lifetime of shovelware junk, and I'm considering the Atari 800 in that with it's tapes full of cloned games.

Yeah, I read that part, I thought it was kinda funny that he admitted to it.

Also, don't remind me of Ninjabread Man. xD
