I'm in no rush and having nothing tough left on my list as far as I can tell. It's actually kinda nice to not have to worry about finding some of the seemingly low print titles from the first year or two, especially with summer here etc.



    I did end up checking my Wii U games last night and saw that none of them were sealed like that, including my copy of Walking Dead. Some are sealed backwards (seam on the spine), but nothing with the Y-fold on the side. It could be a reseal, I guess, but like I said in the last post there, I doubt it for various reasons.

    Thanks for checking!

    Yep, I've slowed down on my Wii U collection mainly for the simple fact I'm within a handful of games and want to wait to get the best possible price. I've been watching the prices but kinda focusing on other systems until I find some of these at lower prices. It's kinda like a game to wait till a game drops, but making sure not to wait too long before it starts to increase. I've done excellent so far and would already turn a profit on my Wii U collection, but these last handful of games are being stubborn  



    My guess on the Walking Dead is the machine that sealed it messed up on that particular game. I guess it could be a reseal, but I don't think that alone is indicative of a reseal.

  • XSeed announced Shantae will get a Wii U physical release along with a soundtrack for $29.99. May not get a lot of coverage so thought I'd mention it for those going for a full set.

  • Right on brother, I hadn't heard this. Thanks!
  • Was going to mention that when i heard this morning.



    Pretty sweet release.
  • Yea, it has a soundtrack. Not sure if that will only be first print editions or if there will be more than a first print but something to consider.
  • I'm noticing plenty of wii u stuff disappearing off eBay. People are onto us! Lol

    I find it funny how eBay works as there are quite a few (not a lot) listings for the game and they are all above retail. Meanwhile there are lots of other games that maybe have three or four listings and still well below retail price. such a shit show.... seems like a herd mentality with little to do with actual rarity.

    Well i do think just dance 2016 gold will be a rarer variant. Just shocking all the used were gone and the sealed full price left. You can see the actual uncommon games right now. The stuff with 5-6 or less available. Alot of random titles are turning into that. This is going to be a weird set to collect and watch in the future.

    Yep, will definitely be a fun set to watch in the future. Will end up with a relatively small set of games, which will likely entice more full set collectors down the road. That will possibly keep the demand high on some of the harder to find shovelware titles that will be needed for a full set.

    Thank you for posting this. Pre-ordered today! I'm excited  


  • cmon best buy. put shantae up to preorder so i can get my 20 percent off
  • I think GameStop has it up. EB Games does not. It better be released in Canada
  • Book of Unwritten Tales 2 came out today. Picked up my preorder at gamestop. Only 19.99. Dont think this one will be too common down the road.



    makes the total set 143 plus bayonetta 1 and starfox guard.
  • EB called me for pickup but I couldn't make it today. Will grab it tomorrow. There is no way they printed many of this game.

    Just out of curiousity, do you all still see Giana Sisters? I would have thought it received a small print but my Wal Mart literally has 2 rows full of them. Not sure if that's normal, or if my Wal Mart just got an overshipment or something. 



    BTW, I also grabbed Book of Unwritten Tales 2 from Amazon. With the Amazon Prime discount it was only $16 so figured it wouldn't get much cheaper than that. 

     
  • I don't even think they ever sold Giana sisters up here, how much are they?

    $39.99. I waited on buying it because it looked like there were plenty of copies.  



    Amazon has it for $31 and it let me add 999 copies to my cart, so they should still have that many. Just seemed like a game that would have a small print run. I'm wondering if my Wal Mart just got a large order for some weird reason. 



     
  • A ton of walmarts have no copies so yeah its unusual.
  • The cheapest copy on Amazon in Canada is $80 CAD

    they distributed the game pretty poorly. Some toys r us's overflowing with them. Some walmarts are like yours. A bunch. Then you have tons of stores that have zero copies. When the game gets clearanced at some point for like 20 theyll probably all dry up. Your walmart when they re organize the game section will pull most of them and shuffle stuff around and condense for newer stuff. Theyll get added for online inventory and ship to store inventory. Thats when you wont find them anymore.

    Yea, that's why I wondered if others had a lot of them. I definitely don't trust my Wal Mart to clearance them. If it was Target, then I'd probably wait it out. Definitely weird how it was distributed, especially considering I live in a small market. I'll continue to monitor it on Amazon and may end up pulling the trigger. It has dropped a little, but it's not dropped any further in a while. 
  • I would buy one if I had the chance
