    Should variants be in the database list though? I thought that was for releases and main special editions kind of thing. There are too many variants to count for this system. Just going to muddy it up

    I was actually thinking of separating out the variants to make it a bit easier to read.

    Also, the list needs to be updated as both "JEOPARDY" and most likely "WHEEL OF FORTUNE" also are now NORDIC variants.

    Also Skylanders Giants had a Dark Edition as well from Page 1's list.

    Also Super Mario 3D World would be missing the first release "blue" box.

    Also Splinter Cell Blacklist had a GameStop logo variant as well.



    I'll need citations and proof for all of these. I don't believe Giants had a Dark Edition. The listing for just Super Mario 3D World is the blue case original release. 

     





    The rest of the stuff, NORDIC variants you can see on their item page on Amazon or just walking into a GameStop. Those exist.  Splinter Cell GameStop is attached. Also, I do not remember ever seeing 2 versions of Skylanders Trap Team Dark Editions, one with Stealth Elf and the other without.



    I'm trying to find a picture of Giants Dark Edition as I no longer own it. There is a 99.9% possibility that it was the game after it where they started doing Dark Editions my memory is foggy on it. I do remember however, when still working at GameStop that trying to get the Wii U copy of it was insanely hard as they barely made any numbers of it, plus that it was only available as the first Dark Edition at GameStop before other iterations after went to all stores.
  • Yep, I was mistaken. Giants was itself and not a Dark Edition. Swap Force was the first, and GameStop exclusive. So odd, I see Swap Force Dark Editions every where online, so common. Years ago people wonder if it even existed. Oh well.

    Cool thanks. I had no clue about the Splinter Cell Variant. Dang another one to find. 



     
  • I changed the list in the first post a bit. I added the 3 variants SuperTiso confirmed, separated out the variants, and included links to pictures of the variants I have for confirmation of what they look like. Just click the title and it should take you to the picture.



    The Skylanders SuperChargers Dark Edition w/Stealth Elf looks just like the one without the Elf without opening the box. The only difference is the UPC sticker on the bottom. There is a pic of the UPC linked as well.
  • Is this list only about the North America USA releases or is it going to include say CANADA's Splinter Cell "Special Edition"?

    US only. 



     
  • Wow that Splinter Cell eluded most of us. Wait we have a Canadian Special Edition?

    Apparently there is one that is "Special Edition" in Canada, but I'm just relieved I only have to worry about North America USA.
  • If anyone was looking for a good price on the Skylanders Trap Team Color Alive set, TRU just dropped the price to $19.99:



    http://www.ebay.com/itm/172085145094



    Dunno how many they have but they were selling it before at $39.99. You can even pick up in store to avoid the shipping if you want. Thought I'd mention it for anyone who wanted this set.

    The list looks much cleaner with the variants taken out.  Nice work

     
  • Not sure if it's been mentioned but Giana Sisters is $20 new at Wal Mart now. I know that's the lowest it's been.
  • Never seen it at my walmart lol.

    Yea, I remember a couple people saying that and is discussing it's strange cause mine has 3-4 rows of them. May be worth looking online for those that need it. Maybe Amazon will match it too.

     
  • I'm convinced that Giana Sisters was never released in Canada... at least east of QC.
  • Hello everyone, This is my first post on NintendoAge and I wanted to thank you all for the great information on all the wii u variants. Currently, I am going for a complete sealed wii u NTSC set and NTSC-J exclusive set. So far I have every game and about half of the variants for NTSC. I am only about 20 games into the Japanese set. I do not have the Mario Kart and Hyrule Warriors Special editions yet. Hoping to find them at a reasonable price. The one thing I wanted to bring to your attention is certain games i.e.. Hyrule Warriors and Lego Batman 3 have made in USA and Made in Japan variants. Hyrule Warriors even has a slightly different barcode. Anyways, keep up the good work and I look forward to having a presence on NintendoAge.
  • Is it possible to be more excited for all the 3rd party stuff getting physical releases for wii u than anything nintendo is releasing this year? Hell im more excited for yooka leylee and shantae than the new zelda.

    I dunno, I am more excited for Zelda than I have been for a game in a long time for some reason. Having said that, both of those games look great as well. I have been playing Shovel Knight again the last few days and forgot how amazing that game is. Pretty much everything about it is great.
  • Im getting pretty bummed out for the first time in a long time that a console is dying. Gettign in as much splatoon as i can, i wonder what online will be like next year. Really a bummer man so much great content that never took off with the masses.



    I had a feckin awesome time playing mario tennis online for 8 hours this weekend. So many games i love playing online
  • This probably isn't news, but I noticed that my Wal-Mart is starting to clear out their Infinity/Skylanders starter sets for pretty cheap.

    Not just Wal-Mart, I think Target too, possibly other places. I've noticed a lot of sales in regards to Infinity and Skylanders. If one wants to get into collecting those, now is probably a good time.
  • Gamestop already cleared them out. Might have luck getting them online. They are the place to get skylanders sets. 10-12 each mostly. Been tgat way for over a year. Tgese other places arent clearancing them tgat low.

  • I want the one with DK on a cart, Superchargers, is it?

    Those should go on sale again soon. I was able to get one for $30 CAD a fe weeks ago and then they went back up. I'm sure they'll go on clearance again before too long, especially since there is another pack coming out in the fall. should be able to get one for $20 USD if you keep an eye out.

    I'd be okay paying $20 for it. I think I might have some gift cards to bring the cost down a bit.
