That set looks awesome. Really dont like tge way PAL games plaster that usk rating so big on the case. So dumb. Is the pegi 18 not enough?
I agree, the USK rating is a bit much. The cool thing about this set is both games are sealed in their own cases inside. Too bad N. America didn't get a similar set

Yea, I was hoping for a separate case in North America. Was super happy when Star Fox Zero got a unique case for Star Fox Guard.
As far as the ratings, they do look atrocious on some games. Apparently, different countries require different ratings which is why they end up having multiple ratings taking up the cover art.
Went to Both EB Games after work and one didn't even have a listing for Book of Unwritten Tales and the other only had one copy, which of course was opened/for display. I just ended up getting one online. Might not mean anything, but could also be a very limited print run. Anyway, $20 new is a good enough price not to chance being able to pick it up down the road.
My local EB had the one for me, nothing on the shelf. I stopped into a different one today and they had none on the shelf but one behind the counter. Seems pretty typical of third party games on this system
if you need this game , not a bad price. 10 plus shipping for monster high 13 wishes. It is a 2013 release. Its a game that isnt getting reprinted lol. hard to get under 15. usually around 18-20.
Has anyone who has a big chunk of the library enjoyed playing or could recommend some more obscure games to play. I liked phineus and pherb quest for cool stuff. Are any of the monster high, snoopy etc games any good?
Snoopy is fun if you like platformers. Shovel knight is my favourite but it's an old style platformer that looks and sounds like NES. It's not for everyone.
Monster High games are bad. Well 13 wishes is horrible. New Ghoul in School would be ok for a young girl for entertainment better than 13 wishes but yeah its still a little girls game lol. I havent played the monster high ones, but I watched reviews on practically all the wii u games.
Snoopy is a really basic platformer. As well is smurfs 2. Geared towards younger players. Snoopy is fun though for what it is. Phineas and Ferb is better than both those. If you like 3d beat em up games ben 10 omniverse isnt bad. Reminds me kind of like an xmen legends style gameplay beat em up. Ben 10 omniverse 2 is really short though.
Some games that are pretty obscure that arent terrible
Adventure Time Explore the Dungeon because I dont know ( dungeon crawler. fun for awhile but gets repetitive and stale)
Ben 10 Omniverse 1 and 2 ( Like I said, 2 is very short. They are 3D beat em ups in the style simlar to xmen legends. pretty decent for what they are)
Darksiders II ( If you havent played this game on otehr platforms its worth a play on wii u. Hack and slash adventure style game)
Deus Ex Directors Cut ( solid shooter)
Gianna Sisters ( If you like platformers and dont have this you are missing out. One of the better ones on the system)
Legend of Kay Anniversary (remastered ps2 game)( 3D platformer/slash combat game that is ok. When yooka laylee comes out , its going to put it to shame though as far as 3d platformers go. yooka laylee looks great so far)
Lego City Undercover ( Not really obscure, but if you like lego games, its a must own wii u exclusive)
Need for Speed Most Wanted U ( launch title. If you like need for speed this is pretty damn good)
Pacman and The Ghostly Adventures 2 ( The first one is more basic. Both are 3D Platformers. The second one has a lot of mario 3d world ripping off which isnt a bad thing. Pretty decent)
Resident Evil Revelations ( Not really obscure game, but kind of now for the wii u. Its a great game. Love it. Its pretty cheap and worth every penny)
Shovel Knight ( MUST OWN)
Sniper Elite V2 (This shooter is good. Worth the 15-20 for sure)
Snoopy's Grand Adventure ( basic platformer, but fun. Different costumes with different abilities. Simplistic level design and easy but has charm)
The beef of the good wii u games are in the first party titles/second party. Not a ton of good 3rd party stuff. Just a handful of multiplats mostly. Yooka Laylee coming up 1st quarter 2017 and shantae getting a physical release later this year for wii u are going to probably be great though. Might Number 9 comes out this month finally as well.
^ pretty good sum up. This will cover most of the games worth playing that you haven't heard of or played already. Just Dance, Skylanders, and shit Disney/Pixar games make up the rest of the library.
Other than what was mentioned, Zombi U isn't really obscure, but I can't recommend it enough. Of course if you don't like Survival Horror games you won't like it, but if you are a fan of the old school Survivor Horror games this is an excellent game. It's a little rough at times, but to me it kinda adds to why it's great.
Quest mentioned Lego City Undercover, but I'd add that even if you aren't a fan of Lego Games this is worth a playthrough. It's not a typical Lego game and is excellent. With Lego Games typically doing well on Wii U I would love a sequel on NX.

yeah i didnt think zombi u was really obscure so I left it off. Definitely worth the 10 bucks. Didnt include devils third either, figured he knew of it after all the rarity hype. Definitley better than the negative reviews it got. I think sonic lost world isnt that bad. Got horrible reviews but to me it got devils third treatment. its not that bad. After lego force awakens comes out that is going to be 10 lego games on the wii u.
Lego Avengers
Lego Batman 2
Lego Batman 3
Lego City
Lego Dimensions
Lego Hobbit
Lego Jurassic World
Lego Marvel Super Heroes
Lego Movie
Lego Star Wars Force Awakens
The lego games surpassed just dance even which there are 6. and soon to be 5 skylanders. So between lego, just dance, and skylanders thats almost 15 percent of the library haha
Waiting on 1 more in the mail . Last 4 are 20, 30,30,45
So. Yeah waiting for drops. And ill be waiting on drops for anything coming out except mighty number 9 and terraria. Will be getting thise 20 percent off the 29.99 at best buy with gcu
Amazon.ca has its e3 pre-order promotion going on now. Preorder any game and get 20% off of it. There are also 30% off deals on select games (i don't think any nitnendo games fall into that category).
That means you can preorder games we've known about long before e3 such as Zelda Wii U, #FE, Minecraft, Mighty No.9, Terraria, Zero Time Dilemma, Corpse Party, and SMTIV: Apocalypse and so on.
So we're going to be at 148 total at the end of June.
143 right now with 5 more coming this month:
Minecraft
Might No. 9
Mirage Sessions #FE
Terraria
Lego Star Wars : The Force Awakens (actually kinda looking forward to this game).
Got the LE of Tokyo Mirage Sessions pre-ordered with 20% off. Also considering Minecraft since they rarely go on sale for other consoles, though those are $20 MSRP.

Edit: Meant considering pre-order/picking up at launch. Will obviously get all of them eventually.
guitar hero live for $50. Was gonna pass on the bundle, but with free shipping and less than half price I figured I might as well. They also have the gold Just Dance 2016. I still don't think I can pull the trigger on that just because it'll be hard to come by down the road. I got the non gold edition for $20 or something so can't really justify another $60 on a game I'll never play.

Apparently it's the same price at BestBuy too.
For those in the US they can get Guitar Hero Live for $31 at Amazon.
I agree with Just Dance Gold. I think the sealed prices may stay high, but hopefully when people start selling their Wii U collections in a few years I can find one cheap at a yard sale or pawn shop.

Quest is right on the Monster high game. It won't be reprinted and is becoming harder to find
Andy and Quest will know more
