I've had some difficulty since Christmas deciding what to spend all the gift cards and cash on, and I'm sure some of you with Wii's are having the same problem.
I walked into Gamestop last night, and perused for about an hour before finally picking up 4 used games and my first Wii points card. I've had my Wii for over a year, and I have never purchased a points card until last night.
Anyways, I grabbed SSX Blur, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core, Geometry Wars Galaxies, and Mercury Metldown Revolution. Each one was less than 20 bucks, and I could find no full price games I really wanted. I was definitely tempted by Super Paper Mario but $45 for a used copy seemed a little much.
I guess the real question is what should I purchase with the points card?
I'm leaning towards Golden Axe and Super Mario World. I suppose I'll sit on the points for a week before I actually decide on picking something up. I'd like to buy Eternal Champions, but I read a review which said the controls were not very responsive on the Wii.

I spent a good couple weeks playing the shit out of that one. I think my end time was around 40 hours. I can't even remember the last time I dropped that much time into a game....
As far as Super Paper Mario goes, I say pass on it.
For VC, Super Metroid is probably the best game on it. Be careful buying Super NES games if you don't have a classic controller, though, as on the GCN controller the huge distance between the B and Y buttons makes it near impossible to jump+attack in certain games that don't feature reconfigurable controls (Contra 3.)
Adventures of Lolo is a short but great puzzle game that seems to get overlooked. The sequels are better but who knows when they're coming.
Yeah I know I'm lame for not buying Super Metroid.
