Green Penguin on 25 September 2009

My Wii broke in Augest and I have been thinking if I want to stop playing video games, get another wii or get a 360. I have made up my mind.

I want to get another Wii for Christmas! Why?

1. The Wii will be only $200 which makes a big difference in my mind.

2. Spore Hero looks very cool.

3. I know I said that NSMBW wouldn't be that good and that I don't want it but now I think it will be one of the best games this gen and so...

4. I can't imagine Pikmin 3 coming out and me not being able to get it.

 

So I now hope to get a wii before the year ends!!

Good for you. Happy that you've come to a decision you like.

Nintendo won't repair your Wii for less than $200?

Man, if my Wii broke down, I would lose over $300 worth of downloadable games if I didn't send it in to Nintendo. They'd really have me by the downloadable balls.

Famousringo, a SD card can save you a lot of money. But I don't now about your saves :/

Nah, that wouldn't work. The games on an SD card are still linked to one Wii and they aren't going to work on another Wii without either being transferred by Nintendo or hacked in some way.

I'm not too worried, since Nintendo's support has such a good reputation. I'm sure they'd repair or replace my Wii at a reasonable price and transfer my Wii shop account to the new hardware. But it is a little sobering to realize just how much money I've sunk into games which rely on Nintendo's good support. And even with Nintendo's reputation, how far into the future will that support extend?

$300?  Really!?  Wow.  Let me see... I've only spent...

::checks out game collection::

wow, about $120.  I had no clue I was even over $50.  I guess I've slowly spent that much over 3 years though, so it's like $40 a year, and they're some badass games.

Nice work!
