Hey! Pat noticed the Wii set. I kind of wish Ian was on because part of my Wii set came from him. I was in San Diego a few months back, happened to be shopping for games, happened to walk into his store and happened to see him behind the counter. We talked a bit, I told him I was a collector looking for Wii games, he asked me about some of the harder to find titles and we talked a bit. I purchased a few games, he was a cool dude and I was happy to meet him.
Seemed like Pat was overall positive on the set, I know he has a bit of a feud with Nintendoage in general. I had a couple thoughts. He had mentioned the Top 40 rare games in the video and how it's too early to tell what's rare and how it might affect the market. I do agree that it has the potential to effect the market, anytime new information about hard to find games is made public, this could happen. I'm hoping the benefit of helping Wii collectors keep an eye out for harder to find games locally and elsewhere outweighs any negative impact from a cost perspective. With my list it wasn't what was the most valuable (many can be had for cheap) or what was the most desirable (many are low quality budget titles), it was what I thought was the rarest (low production numbers).
As for too early to tell what's rare. I do say in my video that rarity changes often. If I were to look at my list a 1, 5 or 10 years from now I would expect it to be mostly different. It's early in the systems life and finding a shipment of a rare Wii game in the back of a warehouse wouldn't be very surprising to me. As of right now it's a solid list, but things will always change.
