Complete Collection Set of Nintendo Wii Games

[Jason_dicarlo85]

Wow a complete Wii collection??? So much garbage together on the same shelves... But really tho to each his own I guess that's cool

[Necromancer]

So, what is it mean that I think his inefficient shelving is crazier than a full Wii game collection? I mean a complete Wii collection is crazy but if you going to do it make the shelving more efficient! 11 games then a double shelve wall!! So much wasted space.

I mean if you are going to do it go all out with custom shelving, like seriously.

Yarr, I'd at least use a wider shelf for a better game to particle board ratio.  I've got a few 24" wide book cases, and their shelves don't bow under heavier jewel cases or paperbacks, so his wii trash would be fine.

I love how awkward each guest and MJR is. Also making a list and stating what is rare and not is so Nintendoage, its going to artificially inflate shit as usual.

I think people going for a full Wii collection are the absolute definition of a collectard. It's even worse than VGA grading collectors, at least they're for the most part they're slabbing games they actually like. The Wii library is 98% uber shovel ware shit, like Barbie games or Peppa Pig or some Spice Girls workout game, no adult can honestly say they actually like those games, it's just simply collecting for the purpose of collecting only, the ultimate in collectard!

I love the Wii because it's a spectacular emulation machine and it looks great on my CRT, but I wouldn't buy more than 30 of its own games...

I see what you're saying, but to the Wiitard's credit...he isn't wasting a lot of money as far as game collecting goes and he's not doing what all us a$$holes here do which is remove extremely good games from circulation and only play them for one six hour section every three years or so.

I'm not advocating for it or anything, but Wii collectardation is a relatively victimless crime. Most of the good games on Wii are first party and printed in quantities of a 200k or more so they'll always outnumber the collectards and be reletivey easy to get, hopefully.

It's totally f*cking stupid though, I have to admit. I'd way rather get into stamp collecting or something like that.

If they only paid an average of $10 a game, that's still $12000 for a bunch of shovelware and a small percentage of decent games. Online purchasing would add a lot in shipping, even if it's only for a fraction of the massive number of games the Wii happens to have.

It might not be that much as far as set collecting goes, but set collectors tend to just box their crap away and forget about it as they go back to their day job, trying to slowly pay off their set debt that could have been a mortgage instead.

I looked at the thread on NA when this was announced and I think he said he was in it at about $4 a game for the most part.  Plus, I think after selling the rest of his retro collection and getting something near $150k for it in total, he was really just in it for the thrill of the hunt and figuring out what a "full set" of the Wii really was and documenting it along the way.

Agreed the console does have it's share of shovelware from third parties.
