Question Really? WTF Why is it so expensive?
Gamestop wants like 45-60 for this. How did everyone lose their Wii Sports game? My original is just too scratched up so i had to buy a new one. I don’t feel like Dealing with hacks and isos anymore. I have money unlike when I was a teenager lmao.

Question Is there a way to fix terminal spring rust on wii remote?
So I bought this wii remote just recently and noticed that it had a bit of rust on the terminal spring and is slightly green also (unsure of corrosion), is there a way to fix this at all? The remote still turns on and works fine and has new batteries but I just wanna make sure it's nothing more sinister down the line and if it could be cleaned. Or is it better off just replacing it? (I was thinking of putting isopropyl alcohol 100% to clean it but not too sure if it'll damage anything)

Pickup/Collection After my first Reddit post when I showed my beat up classic controller, I finally got a replacement.
I love the black color scheme. I nicknamed this the Wii GameCube Controller because it literally feels like one.
Question What is this part and how would one replace it?
My mate has a pink Wiimote and lost this part. What is the name of this and where can I get a replacement?

Question I want Wii to play with my kid.
Hi,
I want to buy Wii so I can introduce games to my 4y old girl and also play together. My desire is to play games where we shoot, dance, etc and not using a controller the traditional way most of the time.
However I have experience with playstation only. What should I buy for best experience?

Question Got the game disc error when starting up the photo channel?
Tried to start up the photo channel and got this error message:
An error has occurred. Press the Eject button, remove the game disc and turn the power off. Please refer to the Wii Operations Manual for further information.
This is super weird and I'm worried i've corrupted my system files. Anyone know what happening? By the way my Wii is soft-modded.

New TV has way less inputs than old TV, and no component
Should I migrate to Wii U? If so, how do I do that and move games? Can I still game backups from Wiiflow or something?
Or should I get one of the video converter things instead? idk if there's any games on Wii U I'm dying to play. Mostly want to play Wii.

Question Can you use the Wii Classic Controller to play GameCube games?
So I've been thinking about buying some GameCube games so that I could play them on my Wii but I'm not really ready to spend a lot of money on a controller and I already have 2 Wii Pro Classic Controllers. I'm not sure if you can use them to play GameCube games on the Wii. Any answer will help :)

Question I got this Wii for Christmas and need help
My girlfriend bought me this Wii off of facebook market place and it runs well but I have one problem, the top half of the screen is cut off. I tried fixing it in the settings but the only thing I could find to center it was moving it left or right. I know it’s probably something simple but I can’t figure it out. If anyone knows how to fix it please let me know. Also it is hooked up via the av cords but I have an hdmi adapter coming in this weekend.
