Wii: history and collecting
Released in late 2006, Nintendo's Wii bet on motion controls rather than raw power, and swept the generation. With the Wii Remote and Wii Sports bundled in, it drew in families, seniors and non-gamers, sold more than 100 million units and long outpaced the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Backward-compatible with the GameCube, it also extended an already rich library.
Behind its mainstream image, the Wii lined up genuine masterpieces: Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Zelda: Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii and Metroid Prime 3. It also hosted more niche gems (Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Muramasa and Sin & Punishment) that built its reputation among demanding players.
For collectors, the Wii perfectly illustrates the gap between abundance and scarcity: its huge sales make common titles almost free, yet a handful of late or low-print games (Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Metroid Prime Trilogy) reach very high values, especially complete. NTSC/PAL differences and regional exclusives add to the appeal. On RomWize, every Wii game is retested and re-rated for 2026, with its rarity index and collector value (loose, complete and new) by region, to separate the everyday from the truly rare.
