Okay here i made it simpler to see if its worth it:
GCN compatibility[Price of the GCN]= 100$
Wii = Probably around 200$?
Wiimote and nunchuk = 60$
Wiisports = 40$
All the accessories coming with it = 20$?
Total: 200+100+60+40+20 = 420$??

First off I already have a GC (delete)
Every console is supposed give you a controller (delete)
WiiSports is $50.

This question can be taken a few ways really.

People consider $250 as "cheap". But dw we know what you mean.

That's very illogical thinking.

And I don't have the Wii so I can't really say.

To be honest this machine would have sold just the same if it was priced at $400. This is the most fun rig of alltime.
