Walmart exclusive Wii Sports Resort Wii bundle is awesome photo

So you sold your Wii three years ago for some reason I'm sure you'll tell us about in the comments, and now you can't play New Super Mario Bros. Wii, No More Heroes 2, MadWorld, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories or Wii Sports Resort (or whatever other good Wii game you want to name that I'm sure you'll tell us about in the comments). However, you just can't seem to bring yourself to spend $200 on the system and then another $20-$50 on one of those games. Then there's the charge for that damn Wii MotionPlus all the kids are so crazy about. It's a problem

Problem solved thanks to Walmart... if you want Wii Sports Resort, that is.

Starting online Sunday and in stores Tuesday, Walmart will be selling an exclusive Wii Sports Resort bundle of the Wii. What makes this so special though is that you're not going to be paying for Wii Sports Resort or the MotionPlus that comes with it. Nope, the tag on this bundle is still $199.99. You get the Wii, a Wii Remote, Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort and a Wii MotionPlus without spending more than it would cost you without Wii Sports Resort in the bundle.

If you were ever considering buying a Wii, now would be a good time to do it. Do it quickly though, the bundle will only be around while supplies last.

I JUST bought one last weekend. I only paid $150 for the console, Wii Sports, and two wiimotes and nunchucks, but this still would have been a decent reason to wait. Oh well.

Kept mine. Not lacking for money or shelf space, so why wouldn't I? There's a new fun game out pretty much as often as I want to play the thing, which is to say every few months.

My sister's boyfriend is considering selling or trading in his Xbox 360 Arcade for a Wii. I'll have to let him know about this good deal.

I'm not sure why he even got the 360 to be honest. He's a very picky casual gamer with no interest in online play. Based on his taste of games, the vast majority of the 360 games (even the really good ones) don't even appeal to him.

Of the games you listed, I know of only a couple, and neither of them appeal to me what-so-ever.

(Just thought I would give you the snarky negativity you asked for).

Or...Shiren the Wanderer, or Rune Factory, or all these badass games hitting first half of '10. Sure, my Wii's collected dust just as much as everyone else's, but when I get back to it, I GET BACK TO IT. Also finally bought some Wiiware games, Tomena Sanner and Blaster Master Overdrive.

If I ever get a wii I'mma just get it with the remote and play it like a regular console. None of this motion stuff... risk damaging your expensive t.v.....

Madworld is so 2008...which is around the same time I last cared enough about my Wii to actually play it! Oh and Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

Shame on you for forgetting it!

@Hammer, ye'd have to be an idjit to thwack a TV with the Wiimote. For one, the straps have been vastly improved over the years, and 2, you have to be unbelievably careless to actually lose your grasp on it to fling it.

Worst I've ever done was smack it against the ceiling because my aunt's living room is way too low for monkey hammer throwing.

Anyhow, if I didn't have mine since launch, I'd totally buy one now.

hm

Now I'm struck with the sudden urge to play either Mega Man 10 or Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom...

When I play video games, I don't want to have to stand around waggling my arms like an idiot. I just want to sit on the couch and play with dual-analog. My Wii was gathering dust and I have allergies so I sold it.

But I can't wait til Natal is here!

I really hope that was sarcasm, because if not, than you make no sense at all. Either that, or you're just a hypocrite. So moving your arms with a Wiimote is stupid, but getting up and spazing out like a retard on speed with Natal is fine? Really? Wiggling around your body like a idiot! That's what you can't wait to get up off the couch for?

@Eric Jones

All the best Wii games have little to no waggle. Not sure if that's a victory or defeat for the console.

I still have my launch day Wii and it still plugs along just fine.

It's a damn good deal, though.

Got my wii day one and sold it after 2 years waiting for a game that uses the motion control in a way that makes fun. Metroid primr 3 and the godfather were cool though. Everthing else was just waggling for the sake of waggling, without any improvement of the gameplay.

Am i missing the edit button?
For super mario and co. There is the DS. Portable, no senseless waggling.

I keep mine around for Virtual Console. I don't think I've bought a Wii game on disc for two years.

And Europe laughs at North America, waving the same bundle widely available, but in black. *sigh*

I stopped playing my Wii for almost a year. Now I'm right back into it.

New Super Mario Bros. is fantastic!

Australia too. It's what we got instead of a price drop. Joy.
