For $10 I'm picking it up! Thanks for the heads-up! Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 A couple more: Madworld: $8.28 - another game I've heard a lot of good things about but never played. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019SY1D4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=atariage&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0019SY1D4 Rayman Origins: $19.34 - I cannot praise this game enough. Has to be one of the BEST overlooked games ever released. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0050SVFB0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=atariage&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0050SVFB0 Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otaku Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 some good games and prices. I am excited to have a wii again after 2-3 years of not having one. Lots of great games while I was away and now prices are dirt cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Metroid Other M for $7.99 (free shipping for members) at Best Buy. I just ordered a copy. Oops heres the link: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Metroid%3A+Other+M+-+Nintendo+Wii/9903855.p?id=1218192429888&skuId=9903855&ci_src=11138&ci_sku=9903855&AID=10474050&PID=3962197&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2FMetroid%253A%2BOther%2BM%2B-%2BNintendo%2BWii%2F9903855.p%3Fid%3D1218192429888%26skuId%3D9903855%26ci_src%3D11138%26ci_sku%3D9903855&ref=39&CJPID=3962197&loc=01 Edited May 16, 2012 by cimerians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Metroid Other M for $7.99 (free shipping for members) at Best Buy. I cringe whenever I think of this game. It probably gets better later on, but in the beginning, the combination of the awful story, the incessant hand-holding, and the poor level design led me to not even bother getting very far into it. Even at that price, I don't think I will give it another chance. Curious to know what you think of it when you give it a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at that price, I don't think I will give it another chance. Curious to know what you think of it when you give it a shot! Actually I played it when a friend let me borrow it for a weekend. It was pretty good but really different from prime (obviously) or any other Metroid I played. Team Ninja hasnt been a very good developer after half of them left years back. I remember Samus talking too much....you coudn't scan things and it just didnt feel like Metroid at all. I remember there was a bug in the game too. All bad things but for some reason I kind of still had fun with it. When I get it I'll try and focus on playing it and beating it cause I never did. Hopefully I wont end up hating it.

Mendon Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 I agree, Cimerians. Other M is different from the Trilogy and pretty much a game onto its own. During the first level or two I was grumping "What the heck... this ain't Prime", but then after completing a couple more levels I found myself interested in the world and action that the game presented and ended up enjoying the game quite a bit. Its sort of funny.... when Prime was announced there were a lot of people yelling about it being a FPS game but they ended up praising it. When Windwaker was announced there were a lot of people yelling about the art work of the game but they ended up praising it. Other M..... I'm not sure the masses ever accepted it. Maybe if it hadn't been named Metroid the game itself might have received a much better reception. Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Another under $20 game: Raving Rabbids Party Collection: $16.44 - Includes 3 games: Rabbids 1, Rabbids 2, and Rabbids TV Party. TV Party gets the most play of the bunch at my house as its my grandson's favorite but all three are a blast. Hunting Rabbids with a Plunger Gun FPS style is my favorite. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CUOD70/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=atariage&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004CUOD70 Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendon Thats interesting way of putting it. Yup if it was something else totally different I think it would be a lot more accepted. I'll have to look into TV Party. I always need party games for the kids and this collection looks great. Edited May 17, 2012 by cimerians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV Party gets the most play of the bunch at my house as its my grandson's favorite but all three are a blast. Hunting Rabbids with a Plunger Gun FPS style is my favorite. Mendon I just picked up RR Party Collection. I paid $24.99 (new), but since we've never played any of the Rabids games, there is such value to this collection! Getting 3 different releases for $25 ($16 at Amazon is awesome savings!) , you can't go wrong. Thanks for jogging my memory about these games. Really, anything Ubisoft does is worth my money.

cloudmann Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yep... the Wii is a sweet console for cheap, good games. Other M and Madworld both rock. Spent less than $20 for the lot! Dragon's Lair Trilogy is surprisingly well done on the Wii. Punch-Out is a steal, too, and well done for the cash. Lots of retro compilations can be had for cheap, as well. It doesn't get great reviews, but for a cheap, retro fix, Namco Museum Megamix can give you a quic Pac-Man/Galaga fix. Pac 'N Roll is a decent little title, too. Geometry wars can be had for under $10... definitely worth the cash. Lots of quality Wiiware out there for a few bucks, too. And for the six Wii users out there who don't do homebrew (and the associated SWEET emulators on the Wii), the Virtual Console titles have dwindled in frequency quite a bit, but there's alredy alot to choose from. Bit.Trip.Complete.... if you don't own the Wiiware titles, get it NOW. If you already own the Wiiware titles, the extra modes STILL make this worth the $15. For a FPS fix, Metroid Prime Corruption is cheap, ever since Trilogy came out. Lots more out there, but these are just a few snippets.

Asaki Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 ...Namco Museum Megamix can give you a quic Pac-Man/Galaga fix. I always see that one around. I've wondered about it, but I also wonder if I really need yet another Namco compilation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you have the Remix edition, I'd say this isn't worth it, but if you don't, it's a nice $10 package. Pac 'N Roll is worth the admission alone.

Asaki Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Ah, I didn't know there were two different games. The covers even look almost exactly the same. I think Remix is the one I always see in the bargain bins, and it's always $20, which doesn't sound like a nice $10 package at all =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 I just noticed that Amazon has Rampage: Total Destruction on sale for $14.99 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GQ1FVQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=atariage&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000GQ1FVQ I had a lot of fun with this game when it first came out and this is a pretty good price for a fun two-player game. I'll have to introduce my grandson to this title the next time he comes over. Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I've only seen the Namco Remix, never the Megamix. I wonder why. I'd rather hold out for the Megamix since it seems to have more games. I definitely want the Bust a Move Bash. I love those games. Great time to be a Wii owner. Looks like a lot of good games are selling for real cheap.

Asaki Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 13 bucks Sin & Punishment.....love this game. Wish I had gotten that when Meijer had a "buy two $20 games, get one free" deal...oddly enough, right afterward, S&P2 went back to being $50 instead of $20... But I didn't have much money left, and there weren't three games I wanted (maybe another Lego game)...had just gotten Punch-Out!! shortly beforehand =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
