Wii for €70?

shuffles03

I have a €70 Kris Kindle budget and I'm looking to get a used Wii. It needs to be boxed and I'd preferably like Mario Kart and Zelda. Is it possible? I've looked on adverts but although the price is right on a few listings, the bundles are wrong and most sellers aren't willing to sell items separately.

I have a Wii myself and was told a few weeks ago in HMV that the trade in value is €30 nowadays. With such a low value, would there be any stores around that would sell a used bundle for the €70 price? It's annoying because if I stretched the budget a little more I'd have no problems on adverts but I can't break the KK limit as it would be unfair on others. Any suggestions? I don't want to wait too long to purchase in case I have to order online and it becomes too late for Christmas delivery.

Cheers.

Perfect!! We only thought of the Wii late last night and haven't been to Gamestop or anywhere yet so didn't know any prices. Do used consoles come boxed? Thanks again.

I've managed to get one boxed and everything from a family member for €30. Now I just have to pick up 2 or 3 games. He likes Zelda and Final Fantasy. Which Zelda is the best, TP or SS?

I'm also thinking of getting a Mario game and I'm currently deciding between one of the Galaxies or Paper Mario. Mario Kart also seems to be a no brainier too. What else is a must have Wii game? Are Okami and Mad World any good? He loves games like Shadow Of The Colossus and Ico so are there any Wii games with that type of style?

Both Zelda games are good but Skyward Sword edges out ahead. Your gonna need the Wii Motion+ attachment for it though, should be around 10-15 quid 2nd hand, either the little plugin or built into a Wiimote. Also if you didnt get one with the Wii you bought get a Nunchuk add-on as a lot of the Zelda/Mario games use it, get em for pittance around the place.

Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are two of the best games this gen, either would be good. Okami is great, same playstyle as Zelda so kinda fits the SotC and Ico style adventure game. If you could find it (and I am betting not likely as its rare) the Metroid Prime Trilogy are 3 great exploration games in one box.

If he likes Final fantasy, hunt down Xenoblade Chronicles, great JRPG game so if he liked the FF games he will love it.

What are 'New Super Mario Bros.' and 'Super Mario All Stars' like? Also, does a classic Nintendo game compilation exist? Like Sega's but with old school Ninty games.

Does Super Mario All Stars work with the Wiimote and Nunchuk or do I need to buy the classic controller?
