    Yeah, the guy posted an identical listing earlier and basically quoted NintendoAge to back their price point of $5k.

    "For more information, the following NintendoAge thread will confirm the rarity of this title, which was recalled (similar to Stadium Events) and also happens to be the very last released (so far) US Wii game:

    http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?StartRow=26&catid=5&threadid=156353".



    *sigh*

  • Lol @ 5K for 3 Wii shovelware singing titles. This jackass doesn't even have a best offer option.



    I'm sure this game will be rare in the future, but honestly who outside of full set wii collectors will even care? I don't see that being a very large number of people going for a set of 1000 shovelware titles.

    Ah, but it's a lot of three copies of the same shovelware game. Better scoop this one up quick, don't wanna miss out! ;p

    Sure definitely, it's worth 5K after all, best game ever!

    He also mentions in the listing that he supposedly tried to register at NA but since he couldn't post immediately, he just listed the games on ebay at an insane price instead. Pretty sure that NA account would be approved by now, but he still hasn't made an appearance in this thread.



    I get the feeling he was already a member, read this thread, and saw dollar signs. Let's Sing 2016 isn't the kind of game that demands you purchase 3 copies.

    I was wondering the same thing... did he ever register here?
  • I snapped up a copy that was sitting on the shelf at my local GameStop. $40, no mic bundle, open 'new' copy. Figure I'd play it, see what the deal is.



    Game booted up fine on my Wii U in Wii mode. I used an old Guitar Hero USB mic. The mic indeed picked up my voice, but latency was such an issue, I don't think my score was accurate. Playback of the karaoke songs with my voice tracks showed that I was behind on everything. Does anyone care about score in these games? It's just a karaoke machine.



    Things I learned:



    1. I can't sing for shit. At all.

    2. Wii games in 2016 can be made in 4:3 aspect ratio!

    3. If you don't scream into the mic, it won't pick up your voice. I even tried to adjust the mic sensitivity, didn't notice much of a difference.

    4. What a weird playlist of tracks. Mostly hits from 2 summers ago (Bang Bang, Let It Go, Moves Like Jagger, All About That Bass), but also seemingly random songs from Queen/Don't Stop Me Now, Roxette/It Must Have Been Love and....TLC.

    5. I haven't listened to No Scrubs in its entirety in about 16 years.

    6. No unlockables, just a high score list. Play solo or multiplayer.

    7. You can add effects to your voice like helium and some kind of monster. You can also pitch correct, but it doesn't sound good.

    8. All About That Bass lyrics are about 80% 'all about that bass, 'bout that bass, no treble.'

    9. Seriously...No Scrubs

    10. I played for an hour. I own the world record for time spent playing Let's Sing 2016 Wii in the year 2016.

    Great post - gave me a good laugh this morning. Glad you got to play it and enjoy it for what it was, I won't argue your status as world record holder. 



    Seems Gamestop may be the place to go to at least have a chance to obtain an open copy...

    Yep- I registered! Just got time to post some- and more pics and information on the copies of Let's Sing 2016 will be forthcoming. This is all totally legit- not at all a big April Fool's Day stunt!

    Phsss I'll give you $10,000.01

    Beat that NintendoTwizer
  • ebay is bush league for these three opened copies, I'm taking my sealed bundle to Sotheby's.
  • Holy crap I'm so excited right now!!! I went to Gamestop and asked about Let's Sing 2016. They sold me a sealed pack of 6 (each copy includes the Mic). I already got a PM from Tim Atwood asking if I'm planning to sell any time soon.
  • On a serious note, the PS4 version is becoming harder to find since GameStop was the only place seemingly selling it (brick and mortar-wise) and now they have clearanced what little they had out.
  • YXZ do you even know what day and or time it is? If it's afternoon where you are carry on good sir

    Shoot, now that you say that I had the chance to buy one but didn't because I don't own a PS4.

    "Clearanced out".....?
  • They are in clearance in the stores that actually got or have a copy.
  • How does clearance work at gamestop. I can't recall ever seeing anything on clearance at gamestop. Did they just discount the price?

    Yeah, they'll just throw on a new price sticker with "clearance" on the top of the sticker.

    Basically they put a sticker that says "clearance" and has the reduced price on it.

    Do you ship in crates by any chance? Those games need extra protection after all.

    Why would they need extra protection? Three standard manilla envelopes should be more than sufficient. All I have to do is make sure to write FRAGILE! on them.

    But aren't these games worth 5K according to your listing? High price items should be shipped in ultra protective packaging.
