Forums - Nintendo - Am I the only person who thinks Wii Play is overpriced?

Why do I want to pay $10 for a terrible game, when "Ocarina of Time" or "Majora's Mask" is $10?  For the same $50, I can purchase a Wiimote and any good N64 title or for $2 less a Wiimote and a quality SNES title.  Better yet, I could purchase a Wiimote and 2 NES titles for $50.

What do other Wii owners think?

It comes with a Wii remote.



Old games suck compared to today's standards (apparently).



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

well its only 10 for a new game those are old games I think that awsers
your question



Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Nearly 24 million Wii owners found the price to be perfectly acceptable.

Personally, I took a pass. I'd gladly pay $10 for a WiiWare version of the tank game with expanded features and content, though. Why the hell hasn't somebody done that yet?

I like it. I think is a nice addition. I don't really think is overpriced



If it's fun to you, it's worth $10. Most of the people who do find it fun wouldn't find OoT fun. If it isn't, don't buy it. It's clearly selling enough at its current price point.



i love wii play and think its a great addition to wii library of games

“If any creator has not played Mario, then they’re probably not a good creator. That’s something I can say with 100 percent confidence. Mario is, for game creators, the development bible.

You're not the only one who thinks that.

I love it though, not overpriced for me.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

You're not the only one, no, but I think it's a fine price. Tanks! and the table hockey game alone were both worth $10 for me.
