I want to pick one up but they're still too damn expensive even on the used market. I basically want to own one for four games, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Pikmin 3, and The Wonderful 101.
Xenoblade Chronicles X, like the first game in the series, I'm fairly confident won't get a Switch port. The Wonderful 101 also seems highly unlikely to me. Pikmin 3 on the other hand, is a huge surprise it hasn't happened yet along with Super Mario 3D World. We've got a Captain Toad port but no port for these games. I have to feel like it's inevitable.
Just as important, I want one for it's Wii backward compatibility. I already own a Wii but I only have one component input on my TV so having an HDMI enabled Wii would be a useful thing since I want to free up that input for a PS2 w/ component in.
But useful enough to be worth $170+?
By all accounts W101 is a system seller but I need you folks to talk me into (or out of) it.
