    I bought my Wii for 15 dollars, at a local Deseret industries, within the last year. All complete, and looks basically brand new, except for surface scratches not seen up close. Also has the top covers for Gamecube controller ports, and memory card ports, which usually are missing on Wii's I see in the wild. Hands down the best console in my opinion!

      Hell of a deal. Got mine for $30 for about the same condition as yours except no gamecube port covers like yours had, still really happy with it. :)

    Only the first Wiis came with a stand - the later cheaper versions did not have a stand.
    Oddly though, the later ones did not have game cube interfaces - so you got a bit of a mix and match set.

  • @jamesbrekke8431
    @jamesbrekke8431 4 года назад +15

    If you plan to keep using that wii, they do make HDMI adapters for like 10$ which greatly improves the quality. It does not actually make it 1080p, but it forces 16:9 and upscales to a 480i signal.

    • RiiConnect24 (replacement service for WiiConnect24)
    • Add mods (texture packs, enhancements, etc.) to a game

    My Wii didn't have a stand as it was gifted to me. The laws of nature don't forbid you from standing it vertically without one... :)

    My cousin had a nintendo wii.
    We never used it.

      He had an xbox, and we always played that. Or we played outside. His wii just seemed irrelevant and I didn’t even know what it was called for a long time.
