TGZ: "Ok I haven't posted about Ebay much lately but Nintendo Canada is clearing out a warehouse and somehow stumbled upon $20,000 worth of sealed retro Nintendo games and threw them on Ebay for the United Way. So, I'm sure no one here will be able to even afford to bid on one of these auctions, but they're full of fantastic sealed games and it's unlike anything you'll ever see again. NintendoAge has apparently called Nintendo Canada about this and confirmed that the auctions are indeed straight from Nintendo, despite the new Ebay account (After all, how often does Nintendo sell it's own games on Ebay? They'd make a killing with Wii Fit). Anyway I'm sure sealed collectors are simultaneously overjoyed and dying because these lots are huge finds yet will likely drain their bank accounts."
Check out the Nintendo World Champions NES cart!
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
Search the warehouse some more and you will likely find a stockpile of Nintendo Wiis being held there too.
That is so awesome. I wish I had the money to spend on em... and a nintendo to play em on. I can't even remember what it's like to open a sealed new nintendo game. Good article.
double post...
epic lulz
who would pay that much for a crappy quality game thats so old. maybe like 300 would be a more realistic offer.
he could probably get 1000 if it was the super rare gold cartridge in mint condition.
