I like what you got going on with the wiis, but for dudes like me, we'd rather go thru the pain in the ass of finding those games for the original systems cause we were the nerdy kids who kept the boxes and shit for all our systems and super Nintendo games.
I recently got lucky and found 3 game gears with 25 games and the big rental case with battery packs and shit. 2 of the game gears have bad capacitors in them so I am going to just fix them and then resell them, hell I could make my money back on the whole purchase just by selling one refurbed unit.
Its a nostalgia thing. Plus even decked out with tons of accessories and games, a Wii still doesn't look attractive for $1000.00.
I love my wii, but there is a reason its hooked up in the kids play room and not in the den next to my PS3. Plus the controls just aren't tight enough for me to be impressed by motion controls. And that goes for the Move and the frickin Kinect. Hate that fuckin thing.
I bought the gamecube and the wii solely to follow my favorite series (Resident Evil), but actually found quite a few good games for both systems.
180 bucks isn't bad at all, its actually an awesome deal. I guess it goes like this for me.....I have Zombies Ate My Neighbors on my Wii, but I rarely play it and I am still looking for it for Genesis. Theres nothing like having the cartridge in your hands and p[laying it on the original system. Plus if you do some research you can find out how to clean and preserve any games.

Yeah, I thought 180 for a wii with 3000 games including wii games was a great deal...
I think its the idea that the Wii U is already out and paying over 100 bucks for an "old" console seems stupid. If they wanted to, couldn't they just buy that and then transfer it on to their wii U? I don't have a U so Im not sure exactly what it can do. Hell I just found out yesterday they made Wiis that weren't backwards compatible with the gamecube.WTF? I bought mine when it was fairly new so it had the GC components on it. That's one thing I hate about my PS3, its not backwards compatible with PS2 games but is with PSone games.
