Thats not the Ltd. Edition for twenty bones though is it??

BTW Who cares how much they are now if you enjoyed them when they came out? I still have to finish The Last Story actually.....


My thoughts. I didn't buy them to be rare, I bought them to guarantee I can play them. Finished Last Story and it was worth the cash easy.

Afraid not. Though I think it was a year or two ago where some Wii special editions went dirt cheap in the Jan sales, Goldeneye for a tenner or something (gutted I missed that), and the Monster Hunter Tri chest edition for £20.

I'm assuming the rainfall games are xenoblade, last story and pandoras tower? I picked up the first two for full price and got 100 hours out of them, can't really complain about value for money :) I'm not sure there was ever much chance of them becoming collectable, everyone who wants them knows about and has bought them. I think the gap between the end of wii and the launch of wii u has played a part. If the wii u was released a few months after the last wii games they might have got overlooked, as it is they've been sitting on shop shelves for the best part of a year.

I'm guessing the wipeout game won't be a classic, it will take someone braver than me to actually try it though.

Don't get too excited, not the space racers but based on the silly tv show.

It sort of looks like an on foot take of Trials HD.

Never played the (total) wipeout games on the wii but the Free XBLA download version of Doritos Crash Course is quality, its basically trials hd on foot, very addictive chasing friends leaderboard times, i doubt the wii version has this feature so i will probably give it a miss...

surely everyones got it by now but if not then get it downloaded immediatly :D

Couple of newish releases have dropped in price recently. Project Zero 2 & Beat The Beat: Rhythm Paradise can be had for £19.99 each at Amazon (& Game/Gamestation have Project Zero for £19.99 as well). I'd like both of these but wonder if they'll drop any further.
