    Yup it is better graphically. You can also play GC games and below on the Wii. The reason they are probably recommending the Dreamcast is because the protection on the DC was in the disk and not the console. All the games available have the protection stripped. You can just burn a game and play it without anything. It was only rectified in the last iteration of the console (however I have one and it still plays back ups). It's a shame as it contributed to its down fall (edited)

Interested as the price is excellent for the Wii currently, just want to know how worthwhile it is getting one. I have a Switch, sold my Wii-U ages ago as I hardly played it. Would this gather dust or be played with the range of games the Wii has?


    Yes the wii u can play wii games but not the other way around.

    I went to buy a £22 white one in-store the other day, they were the 'discounted' range and looked a bit knocked about/flaps missing. On the guy behind the counters advice went for a £25 one, much better condition.

    Have since softmodded it

    Still a good console for actually getting people to move off the chair. Mind you this could seriously ruin your health due to the fact you might get fit...
    Although a low resolution console it still has good games with plenty of choice and easy to mod. We have regular family games nights playing with the kids who seem to prefer it to their Xbox.

    Cex have 8gb Wii U from £75 and 32gb from £85
    Better off paying the extra for better graphics and being able to connect via hdmi. U just need motion plus remote and nunchucks if U also wanted to play original Wii games on it.

What are the prices of games for this and Gamecube games? Cheapish now? What is the highest output this displays at also on an 4K/HDTV?


    They took away GameCube controller ports on the V2 to save costs.
    Highest output?

    Yeah, home brew channel then a wad forwarder to put usb loader gx on the Wii channel page.

    Followed the instructions here...

    Wasted time trying to use a SanDisk flash drive as the games drive. Just wouldn't work, flash drives are a bit hit and miss on a Wii apparently. Tried an old usb HDD and that worked perfectly.

    Haven't they been this price for a few years at CEX? I bought (a white) one a couple of years back for just under this price, I'm not so sure if this deal is anything out of the ordinary, or is it specifically because this is the black version of the console?

    Knocked about and missing flaps sounds all too familiar. ... Lol

    Just to say I bought a £22 discounted console yesterday and it came with the console, power cable, av cable, wiimote, nunchuck.

    Came with no box, and no stand, but very happy with the condition, no cosmetic damage. (edited)

    Most of the gaming stuff in Cash Converters hasn't been properly checked to see what condition it's in though.
    I've been sold disc games so badly scratched, they look like they've used for playing frisbee with a dog.

    I do buy from there, but I always check it first. Especially a games console. They've got enough TV's. Might not have many old style TV's though, which you will need with a Wii, unless you source a newer type adapter from eBay.
