Gazred Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Looking to buy one for the nipper. Anyone on here have an old one they want to sell on? Obviously looking for one in good working order and with a couple of controllers and a few games. Only other thing is that it comes with Mario Kart but its not a deal breaker! Please drop me a PM if you can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Cheers for the heads up. Hadn't considered CEX. Thats well cheap. I remember when they launched, sold out everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Wii u has backward compatibility and a pretty decent catalog of games as well, as we as the hand held bit which means some games can be played without the need of a TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have to wait for one of those! He's been PC gaming a bit, quite impressed he can play so well with a keyboard and mouse. Thought the Wii would make first foray into console gaming. He has had a dabble on the PS4 but the controller is a little to wide for his grip at the mo, he's only 5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 The wifi u one would be far to wide for him but you can use the wiimotes as well, so if you play with him you could have the large controller and he could have a wiimotes, But to be perfectly honest if the nipper is only five I'd keep him on the pic for another year or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS2 Red Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I started gaming on a Spectrum 48k, released in.......1982! Commodore 64 for me, released the same year. I didn't get one until later into the 80s though! Edit: Looks like it was actually 1990 when I got one for Christmas as according to this link https://www.c64-wiki.com/index.php/Commodore_C64_Light_Fantastic_(Collection) the pack I had wasn't released until then.

Fordy62 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 My brother had a ZX. I started life with a Sega Master System. I couldn't believe when my dad bought me one. I thought I was the luckiest boy in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Regarding the wii, get the balance board as well. It's great fun and definitely worth having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
