I didn't bother as I have the PS2 version already.

What I do think it that it should have been a trilogy release, not a single game.

No, but by the time Inazuma has been reduced in price I'll have a WiiU ;)

I've got a factory sealed copy of A Boy and His Blob for Wii that I am thinking of selling on. Anyone have an idea how much it is worth? I checked the recently completed sales on eBay and found nothing.

There are a bunch of copies on Amazon marketplace going from about £25 new or £15 used. Start the bidding at £20 and see how you go, I suppose.

I doubt it'll be ever worth much more than that, as there were around 180,000 copies sold globally and although it's pretty good fun, I don't think it's quite going to go down as an unheralded classic.

Now that the Wii is fixed and back in my sweaty mitts, I'll be picking up a new game tomorrow.

My question is: Rythmn Paradise or Lego Batman 2? Please show your working.

For you, get RP cus it will probably hold it's price longer than LB2, which you can always pick up later for cheaper.

For me though, it would be Batman all day long, cus I hate rhythm games.

I really want to love the Rhythm Heaven series, but the DS one was stupidly hard to begin with, so I gave up and tried again.... over and over and over again :( Still can't play it properly. Its whats putting me off the Wii version - that and the fact that nowhere seems to be stocking it in my local area. Online I guess for this one.

Get Rhythm Paradise. The GBA and DS games are bona fide classics.

Has anybody played the silly Wipeout game on the Wii. The gameshow one that looks like a crazy on foot version of Trials HD?

I'm slightly annoyed that I picked up all three Rainfall titles for £30+ new, thinking they'd be rare and expensive later. All three are still easily obtainable and often heavily discounted.

Yeah that's always annoying, but do reckon that by next gen the Rainfall games and probably some other first party Wii games will be quite expensive. Who'd have thought last gen that Kirby's Air Ride wouls go for so much now?

It's a lottery with Nintendo games. I'd have banked the house on Odama on the GameCube becoming worth quite a bit of money, but it's found online for just a couple of quid!

We're only just now starting to see what some of the Wii's future rarities will be - games like Klonoa, Marbles Balance Challenge and A Shadow's Tale are steadily rising in price.
