1000 wii points: what to buy?

#1 Edited by Shadow (4878 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

I haven't played with my Wii in over a year.  My game collection for the system has gone flaccid you might say.  Okay enough of that.  Anyway, I've been gifted 2000 Wii points in the agreement that I'd buy a certain thing.  I've bought it now and have 1000 left over.  I have absolutely no idea what's on the store so instead of sifting through the gigantic pile of feces that is the Wii store, I figured I'd ask: is there anything there worth picking up?

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the Virtual Console.

That will fix your problem, for sure.

@iDarktread: Nah, I still have that disc that came with Wind Waker so I can play it or Master Quest on the Wii anytime.

@Shadow: 
 
The first Lost Winds game (the second one is just ok) or Nyxquest are both really good WiiWare games and both cost 1000 Wii points.

@Shadow: Yeah, I thought I'd recommend it just in case you missed it. 
 
BIT.TRIP FLUX is supposedly very good, and even though I haven't played it myself yet, I like that sort of game a lot.

You could buy Super Mario World(800points) if you didn't play it back in the day. But be aware,  you need the classic controller to play it.

I can't recommend Art Style: light trax enough, but I think I'm the only person in the world who really likes that game. Who knows, maybe you will, too!

@President_Barackbar: 
 
Actually, those Heavy Fire games are the ones I was given the 2000 points for.
#22 Posted by Hizang (8534 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

Fuck this, just buy the original games and systems, done!
#23 Edited by MikkaQ (9754 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

Try the Bit.Trip games, Cave Story, or your favorite N64 game.
