Nope since I'm an person who like to hoard his old games and systems. Also it's nice to have a backup just in case and like Pahvi, I also wouldn't be able to play my Wii DDR games without it.

If I only knew that Wii point value wouldn't convert to eshop credit and that you couldn't use the gamepad as a screen (this was at launch, before the big update), I would of never transfer my data on the Wii U. Also the Wii menu for my Wii U work 1/4 of the time with the rest being "data is corrupted" message.

A dying animal struggles, thrashes and howls in protest as its life torn from it. To see this in action, watch Animal Planet. The same thing happens when a video game is or isn't released. To see this in action, stay here.

I still have my original Wii that I got in 2007. Disc drive's dead, though...
That doesn't mean squat, however.

I like to keep things consolidated, so I let mine go after I did the system transfer to the Wii U — I was surprised at how nicely the Wii U upscales Wii games, so I have no regrets. Kept my Wii controllers, of course, and threw the console in as a bonus when I sold my old TV.

Would've been a tough choice had the Wii U not been backwards compatible, though.

No, because it's the only way I can play GC games right now

Nope. It is thinner than my GC so I use it instead (plus it is modded for the few Japanese games I can't find to import.)

No because I use it for GC games and Nintendo refuses to make them playable on Wii U.

I might keep it for when I feel like playing Gamecube discs. But my old discs don't seem to work properly now.

I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing happens!

Here in the UK, I would get about £15 for a Wii, fully boxed, like new. That's around 22 USD...

I sold it for € 50 when the Wii U came out and I still play GC games on my unstoppable GC.

Praise the Sun, and Mario too.

Nope, I tend to be a bit of a console collector. Plus it's a far cheaper alternative to getting gamecube component cables.
