Considering buying a Wii Mini to scavenge spare parts

I noticed Wii Minis are starting to drop below 80€ (even getting close to 70€) when on sale in some places and on amazon.

Wouldn't mind having some spare parts (for the years to come) for my GC-compatible black Wii, namely
- original red Wii motion plus remote
- original red nunchuck (hard to find elsewhere)
- original wii sensor bar
- original power brick

if you shop for these parts individually you easily top the price of a Wii Mini on sale. (and you'd be hard pressed to find a red nunchuck).

Just a thought.

 

Mmh I didn't know about that bundle, nice.

I looked around and I could get that and a used official power brick for 65€ total (including shipping).

That's 15€ less than a Wii Mini on sale, but 15€ for a Wii Mini (which is a collectible by itself anyway, it has a cool Famicom vibe to it , see pics below) and a spare official composite cable (not that I'd ever use it over my official Component, but still), sounds like a steal, so I'd still buy a Mini (on sale).

 

Yeah I like red and black controllers because they're the only ones that come with matching solid color official silicone sleeve (OCD much).
Black wii + black WiiRplus in solid-black sleeve + black nunchuck + black CCP
Red wii + red WiiRplus in solid-red sleeve + red nunchuck + red CCP

Red WiiRplus is available in the 40€ (amazon) Wii Play Motion bundle. (includes game Wii Play Motion and points for Club Nintendo)
Red nunchuck isn't available as a stand alone accessory and has to be scavenged from a 25th anniversary red Wii bundle or from a Wii Mini.

Another nice set to have would be Zelda gold WiiRplus + Club Nintendo gold nunchuck + Club Nintendo gold wheel + Goldeneye gold CCP. But that would be super expensive.

That would be nothing...unfortunately it doesn't even support 480i over Component and S-Video (or RGB Scart in PAL zones). Having just composite output, there's no one reason I would ever turn it on at all. I wonder if people could mod it to route S-video or RGB to the video output like they do with some snes/nes models, if the required pins are already in place.

Still it's cool to own it for 10-15€ (over what I would spend for brand new genuine nintendo accessories). Put some mario kart in it and throw it at the kids. Leave it at a secondary location. And stuff like that.
