Looks like The Taint Reaper is the one who has had his "taint reaped". Taint justice served, if you will.

I would assume turds are all that you can reap from a taint, so I think it does what it says on the box no? I mean he's reaping like a pro here and we get 'em fresh by the fistful, so I'm not sure what the issue is?

They're going to be nigh worthless once Nintendo scraps them(and they will). Hell Gamestop can't get rid of their used and incompatible Skylanders and Infinity figures.

The World of Nintendo figures actually do more and are 1/3rd cheaper than the amiibos.

If Amiibo cards are a fraction of the price of the figures, there is really no reason to buy the figures anymore.

If you're buying the figures foremost for their functionality (or lack thereof) and not for the fact that you like how they look, you're an idiot in the first place.

And it's actually impossible to use them if you keep them in the box, since there's a piece of foil at the bottom blocking off the base. Which some of these people do.

I didn't see a regular Wii thread and wasn't sure if I should post in the retro gaming thread about this. I just got my Wii hooked back up and wanted to see what are considered the "must play" games for the Wii and Gamecube so I can check out my local cool secondhand store and see what they've got. Any suggestions?

I've got a handful of Wii/GC titles already, including:
Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii)
Silent Hill Shattered Memories
Eternal Darkness
Dead Space for the Wii
Manhunt 2
The two Rogue Squadron games for the GC
