I was just wondering if anyone has a Wii or Wii U they are thinking of selling our have collecting dust somewhere.

I haven't played one in several years so it might not be as good as I remember, but might be a good family game / Xmas present etc.

Would be a bonus f you had the sports games, Mario kart, steering wheels etc.

The Wii U must have passed me by, didn't know much about it, but being backward compatible with the Old Wii games / controllers and better resolution would be good (planning to have it on a projector, so am a bit concerned about the lower resolution on the original Wii)

I'm based in Christchurch but would pay for shipping etc.

Cheers

Just a quick note, if you do get a Wii - you can mod it to add a native HDMI output. The standard connector I don't think can take digital signals. Most games are 480p anyway.....

My kids still play on the Wii occasionally. Definitely good fun.

I have a Wii chilling in my wardrobe collecting dust. No games. Some controllers.

My intention was to take out the controller controlling piece and turn it into a USB piece so that my controllers would connect better to Dolphin on PC 😄

I can't sing the praises of Dolphin emulator with a 'dolphin bar' and genuine Nintendo controllers enough. I play at 1440p, dolphin emulator renders it at that resolution rather than just attempting to upscale the SD image. The result is games that are comparable with Switch games.

A dolphin bar will get you the full experience with motion control and everything:

Thanks for the message. I'm not sure about price, really have no idea of their worth, how much they sell for etc. Do you know how much they want for it?
Is it just the console?

And thank you for the other posts, keen to try it, and will look out for HDMI converter

Controllers
Steering wheels
HDMI converter
