Is it worth it?

[CamZ]

I was thinking about purchasing a Wii just to play Smash. But is it worth paying 80-100 just to play 3 games (Melee, Brawl, PM)? Of course Im gonna put a lot of time into it, but I would just like to know if it is a safe investment.

You can get a Wii for $20. I bought a black one from a pawnshop sometime ago after my original one finally gave out on me. It runs great. And yes, it is most definitely worth it, if you love playing Smash.

 

[TRJV]

Just make sure you get a Gamucube compatible one though.

 

[Sour Supreme]

Hell yeah son. I have two Wii's, one plays discs, and the other is prepped with ISO's of Brawl and Melee, PM loads with ease.

So you want to know if Smash is worth a Wii?

Son! Smash is worth two!

 

[Liquid Brick]

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.

 

[Bleck]

buy a wonderswan instead

 

[JabbatheHutt]

Yes, its worth it. Me and the pig guards have a lot of fun. The best is when i can land a final smash on Greedo.

This is the best answer. I went into an electronics Goodwill a few weeks ago and saw about ten Wii's lined up, all for $40. I purchased a silver gamecube in amazing condition for $15. No need to spend 80-100.

I have yet to see a $20 wii in my region, but they go as low as $50 here.

 

[turtletank]

Wii's are dirt cheap on Ebay or any online retailer.

 

[kchamp523]

Well anyone on this board will tell you it's worth it.

 

[CORY]

i bought a wii just for pm.

and two white gc controllers off the smashboards sale.

and the 2g sd card.

so, yeah, worth.

 

[Super_Queijo]

Well, you can always play some other wonderful Wii/GC games like Mario Galaxy, Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, DK Country Returns.

 

[CORY]

nope.

only pm.

Make sure you have a scene in your state as well. If you don't, and you aren't gonna travel, it isn't worth, in my opinion.

I have to agree. Where are you guys getting $20 wiis from??

 

[JabbatheHutt]

I say get your wii, then get Brawl, Wario Land Shake It, and DKC Returns and you should be set till the Wii U release

 

[D-idara]

If you haven't played super Mario Galaxy, then you should get a Wii, also get DKCR, Kirby's Return to Dreamland and other awesome non-Smash Nintendo games because Nintendo has so much more to offer than just Smash.

Pawn shops.

Thats where wifi comes in (if you can deal with lag). If you really like smash then its wroth it just be sure to get a wii in quality condition, I personally don't find ebay to be trust wrothy.

 

[TimeSmash]

For 40-50 dollars you could do a lot worse haha. Note that Melee and Brawl both have a lot of replayability value, and when you buy Brawl you're essentially getting two games. Also, you can stock up on older games like Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn or Tales of Symphonia.

 

[Phaiyte]

I'm honestly pretty sure Smash is the only reason about 200k people even own a Wii in the first place. Likely an accurate figure.

 

[Raijinken]

In the eternal words of Captain Falcon, HYEZ!

Definitely worth it. And besides, there are plenty of other games worth getting to make it more worth it.

 

[Rags]

Pawn shops.

Not at any pawn shopws here. You may GET $20 for your wii, btu they sell em for $50.

Avoid gamestop at all costs.

These are all the pawn shops within a 15 mile radius. I guess it's just part of the fact that everything else here is expensive too... >:/
