Good price. Arguably the best console ever given it still has a great Virtual Console line-up, plays Gamecube games and has some of the best games ever made (SMG1+2, Xenoblade Chronicles, definitive versions of Resi 4, Okami, Pikmin 2). Many of these are dirt cheap.
Mine is now used by my 5-year old daughter for games like Animal Crossing. Mario Kart and Wii Sports. Great value for the hours you get out of it.

If your playing Gamecube games on your Wii always use a componet cable and always play the NTSC versions of the games. That way you can force them to play in progressive scan mode (480p)and they'll look so much better.

Fantastic game.
Exactly the same as the arcade, you just don't have to keep putting £1 coins in haha

I never got the gun to play that and CEX do them for £3. Is the game worth playing?

After this deal, I have busted out my Wii and loaded up my wii light gun games. All on the rail shooters, house of the dead and Resident Evil. Still so much fun! Console at this price after softmodding it is worth it, every penny!

Yep, definitely! I was playing tennis and bowling against my 14yr old (XBox One fanatic) yesterday. The Wii was and still is a lot of fun. It's not about cutting edge graphics, so much as gameplay.

Because we're all entitled to our opinion on products and he/she didn't like it. Plus there's no need to tell him to crawl back under a rock that's just me voicing my opinion. I'm just saying mate we should all be civilised as we're all on here for the same reason and that's to bag a bargain buddy. :stuck_out_tongue:

How old is this console plz? I suppose this would be OK for an 8 year old
ocelot20 to katestewart9279

The Wii launched back in late 2005. Still a ok console and should be fine for an 8 year old. If you softmod it all you need is a USB stick to store games on and an SDCard. You can turn this thing into a retro console and slap on some old megadrive or SNES games onto it. As well as play Gamecube games.

Although a good buy,so heat added,I have not used my Wii in years thanks to the superb upscaleable PC Dolphin emu.
As far as the sensor bar goes,get an original second hand wireless Nintendo one (I got mine for £20 from the U.S,delivered),fantastic bit of kit,batteries last ages,as does the LEDS,unlike the plethora of cheap knock off versions I have had the misfortune to own,including the so called 'Dolphin Bar',which lasted all of an hour....
As for the Wii Motes,a cheap bluetooth dongle,and a copy of Bluesoleil worked wonders for me,although the newer versions of the Dolphin emu apparently has bluetooth connectivity built in (have not used it in a long while).

Far superior selection of games at a fraction the cost of a Switch. You don't always need the latest thing.
aventador1 to sebsational
29 May 17#44
Whilst somewhat true the Switch has handheld capabilities which is important for some people, hence the number of sales.

this will play all of your retro games for free once you softmod it. Way cheaper than a NES mini.

Plays backups from hard drive including GC games (legally owned of course)
xigent to fuzzydunlop
29 May 172#35
Perhaps we should explain that in order to do this a program called Homebrew has to be installed first. Once all of the games (legally owned) are mounted on a hard drive or memory stick the DVD drive is not required. This is good for several reasons one of which being that the DVD drives are prone to fail.

I have 4 wii's it's a great console but gumtree people gumtree.. these average £15-20 with games! I've had 2 both mint condition with games and accessories granted no warranty but at £15 each what do u want? Worth £20 all day but not cheapest price to be found..

This is a great console for price. I paid £14.99 from game at xmas. Had one back in the day. Best thing you can do:
Mod it, install homebrew channel, buy yourself a hard drive and you can install as many on it to as you wish.
GameCube is 100% backwards compatible, VC games are great...and... this is the best console for light gun games!!!

What do u get with this do u need to buy the controllers or camera ? Ive never had a wii before sorry
joedredd
28 May 17#25
I got one from them on the last deal at £15.
Refurb is a joke. It was grubby, had someone's name written on the strap and needed a good clean. After some TLC and bleach to remove the name I can say it has been properly refurbished by me. At least all the bits were present.

Discounted from CeX on a console like the Wii would often mean things like the flaps missing, stickers on it, a few scratches etc. But it should function perfectly.
If you are lucky, they will not have reformatted and it might still have some virtual game purchases on it

I used to have one, hooked up to projector, only ever played house of the dead with a gun.
It. was. Awesome.
now because 2 out of 3 deals are a tv on hukd, ive given in and bought a nice big one, might be time to get a wii again and remember the old times

Games consoles are graded as one of the following:
Boxed - with all essential accessories. First party controller.
Unboxed - with all essential accessories. First party controller.
Discounted - Product in poor condition, with all essential accessories, box not required. Any controller.

Discounted may have wear and tear/scratches I believe.

Anybody have any idea on what the difference between the 'Discounted' and non-discounted Wii on Cex is?
I thought it might have something to do with the quality of the product but the discounted Wii has a higher rating. Wii Console, White (No Game), Discounted is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 36. vs Wii Console, White (No Game), Unboxed is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 18.
Are the Wii consoles on Music Magpie actually refurbished?
