Meh, give it another 10yrs and Wii games will be selling at the original prices. Rip game/vintage computer collecting. You were a fun and inexpensive hobby until the rich assholes got to it.

It will be double dead with the shift toward digital games over physical copies.

There are still companies that make physical copies, but typically it's in limited quantities and sadly I've found that most of them (especially one of the big ones, LRG) can be pretty scummy. I think the only two I've found that are worth buying stuff from are iam8bit and fangamer.
