I have a Wii and like many people it hasn't been touched in months. I have considered selling it, but I have held off mostly because I want to play The Legend Zelda: Skyward Sword when it comes out. So my question is it worth keeping my Wii for this one game?

No more heroes 1 + 2 can together be had for less than Mafia 2.
Monster Hunter Tri
Red Steel 2
Muramasa
Tatsunoko vs Capcom (ignore the fighters, the gameplay is superb)



there's more, but with Tatsunoko, Monster Hunter and the Mario Galaxies, that gives plenty of game time from the Wii

There's no denying those are good games, but at least 90% of the Virtua Console games are trash, and they don't even release decent titles anymore. So there's probably like 50 reasons, not 1000. ;)

Anyway, as useless as your Wii might be (no pun intended, wink wink), it's still probably worth keeping. If you sell it you'll get what, enough money for like 2-3 games? I can empathize with your desire, but it doesn't sound worth the trouble.

Just as well there's no pun intended, because all that's there was a rhyme!

Anyway, aye, Wii prices have dropped a lot lately, certainly in the UK, don't know about elsewhere, so even if there's only a couple games you want to play, keep it for now is my vote.

Will you actually be able to sell a wii for a decent amount? If not, it's probably worth keeping, for one game or none.

Sure.
Id keep it just for one game.
Also check out some of the games that have recently come out.

Tatsunoko VS Capcom, monster Hunter Tri, Metroid:Other M.
Id say there are plenty of reasons to keep the wii, no matter what type of game your into.

Yes keep your Wii. All I use it for is Brawl, Zelda, the classics and to play my gamecube games. You get your moneys worth from just that! :)

Let's try to use the right titles, hm?

Anyway, the same game from like 15 years ago with added Coop is a reason to own a Wii? It was a reason to own a SNES.

I would. As you've seen, there are a number of games you might also like, so it could be worth trying those as well?

The chances of that game being not worth the wait are probably miniscule.

There's loads of good to decent wii games, if you know where to look.

Blastworks:
Think 'LBP meets Shump meets Katamari Damancy'.

Yes, and it's that good.

That's the first time I bothered to watch the trailer from that game. I was under the impression it was going to be a pure remake, but I can see it is a totally new game using the old mechanics. Looks quite promising, but I fear it might be a little too "casual" again since I see both Kongs get 2 hearts HP instead of just one hit each. I just wish they made it closer to DKC 2, because that one was the best IMO of that trilogy. DKC3 might have been better, but after playing the death out of 1 and 2, the premise was wearing paper thin.
