soranjaxx 54 Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) I was wondering if it was worth it to trade in a Wii for a Wii U? I know I won't get much for it but my mom wants to do something with it and she wants a wii u to play the new mario game. We also want one to play mario kart 8.

Kaweebo 3,617 Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) I'd say so. I support and anticipate Wii/Gamecube HD remasters for WiiU much like Wind Waker. Edited July 4, 2014 by Kaweebo 1 soranjaxx reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Winds 2,576 Posted July 4, 2014 Totally, so long as you have the ability to pay off the rest of its price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 4, 2014 Not really, if you have GameCube games. If not, maybe, but I wouldn't go to gamestop. I sold them back a basically brand new DSi and got 20 bucks for it, your not gonna get much better for a Wii Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shulk 8,623 Posted July 4, 2014 Depends. Do you have Gamecube games? Do you have a Gamecube to play those Gamecube games on? The Wii U can't play Gamecube games at the moment, so you would be unable to play those. Also, if you have any downloaded games on your Wii, you would be unable to transfer them to the Wii U if you sold the Wii. If you don't care about those two things, I'd definitely recommend it. Of course, trading in a Wii won't get you nearly enough to get a Wii U. 2 RasendoriBlade and soranjaxx reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oishii 3,987 Posted July 4, 2014 You're only going to get $30 back, not to mention the games that will potentially be unplayable on the WiiU. I would suggest perhaps keeping it for a younger sibling/relative or see if you can make more selling it on craigslist or something. 1 soranjaxx reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
opinion 83 Posted July 4, 2014 If you trade in anything to gamestop, even if there's supposedly a "deal" going on, you're getting robbed. Try ebay if you have the patience. 1 soranjaxx reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Winds 2,576 Posted July 5, 2014 Title edit makes it sound like the Wii U is just an upgrade. Common mistake... 1 Shulk reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soranjaxx 54 Posted July 5, 2014 Title edit makes it sound like the Wii U is just an upgrade. Common mistake... Yeah I just want it because I want to play the games that are on it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shulk 8,623 Posted July 6, 2014 Yeah I just want it because I want to play the games that are on it He meant that you're making it sound like the Wii U is just an add-on to the Wii, and not an entirely new console. A lot of people make that misconception, and it can get frustrating for those of us with a Wii U and who want to support it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
