So is the Wii U going to wind up having the smallest console library ever when all is said and done? ~150 US releases and the NX coming in the near future? I always thought the N64 had a really small library and it had twice that amount of games. I wonder how many more games will be released for it.
Yeah about 150now. At 149 plus bayonetta and stafox guard. Lots of indie releases and more ports and multi console games like skylanders and just dance coming along with paper mario and zelda. So probably looking closer to 175-180. Maybe gets close to 200 if there is any more indie support and multiplats after nx launch. Doubt it will get that high though

Nintendo yes (though I'm not sure if VB is considered a console or portable?), but plenty of lesser known systems didn't make it that high. Examples Turbografx-16 (under 100), Atari Jaguar (under 70), and I'm sure there's others.
Good deal on superchargers. Got mine for like 25 at target i think on sale. The dk figure and vehicle are like 24.99 by themselves right now. Nice snag for 10
As kind of a oddity, i dont have a picture but does anyone have the big box zumba world fitness, with a sticker about a dvd being included? There is a zumba dvd in a sleeve inside the game case. I could not find another one on ebay so unsure if its less common
I'll have to check mine. It's a sealed copy though so is it on the outer box or game case?
The sticker was on the outer box, and the actual dvd was inside the sealed game case. My outerbox was not sealed when I bought it, but the game was so I opened it to see if it was actually included inside
Mine does NOT have that sticker. I don't see anywhere that actually states it has a separate DVD within the box. Where did you get it? Possible, retailer exclusive?
Speaking of Wii Sports Club. I probably have to return my copy to Amazon soon. Can some with the game sealed please post the spine, and the back of the case? I have a feeling my copy has a fake printed out cover art and had a professional reseal done. Like it says near the barcode that it was MADE IN JAPAN and not the normal USA. Also the section where it shows what controller types work, the Nintendo Network information looks faded as hell. For some reason something was nagging me to check my Wii Sports copy today out of the blue.
Also, from looking at other games in my collection the "Made in...." seems to be different across the board, so I don't think that is my issue now. I feel like my copy, with the faded Nintendo Network text, just makes me more suspect on this.
The pic I posted is a new sealed Wii Sports Club sold by Nintendo themselves. Hopefully I'll have a minute later to take a pic of the back.
Lol, so glad I just flipped the few I bought as soon as it came out. The hype/speculation in this hobby is so ridiculous these days.
Well I didnt believe that rumor at all. I have no idea why people bought into that. I just waited and bought it off gamestop later no problem. There are going to be stupid people thinking its super hard to find still for years. Thats the sad part. No one pays attention or follows up.

I think it may be a little tough to find in a few years, but the rumors going around of "420 copies" or whatever were just ridiculous. I guess people really will believe anything.
Anything that gets hyped that much during the life of a system is just begging for a reprint. Even in cases where it's not worth a reprint like Tank Tank Tank. That's another game that started going up simply because it was getting hyped and once it was reprinted everyone went back to not caring, lol.
That price doesn't surprise me. I'm waiting for it to drop digitally to that price since the online is dead after December. I guess I could buy a second copy and have it sealed again.
My Wii Sports Club shows "Made in USA". It's a sealed copy FWIW.
Did you look at the area where it talks about Nintendo Network on the back? Does the text look faded, barely legilble? I have a vague memory, maybe it's me trying to convince myself, but I feel like I remembered the box art had that odd problem when it first came out. I think the made in "JAPAN" or "USA" doesn't matter as there are games I've bought direct from GameStop, Amazon, etc that alternate that. I'm just more concerned if others have that faded text that makes the cover look like a bad copy print.
Getting an extra copy to keep sealed doesn't seem like a bad idea at all to me, given how inexpensive they are currently. I can't see it ever fetching $100+ again, and that's coming from someone who fully expects Wii U collecting to become insane in a few short years. That having been said, I do think it has enough of a novelty factor to bounce back and hold steady at MSRP (or slightly above) once these Nintendo eBay copies inevitably dry up.
I wish Nintendo would drop some of their other online store prices too. I'd love to get Mario Party 9 from them, but it's been sitting at $50 for so long.

Sorry, not entirely sure and I'm on a mini vacation until Monday night. When I get back I'll try to get a pic and post it for you to see.
Picked up Pikmin 3/non players choice, Wheel of Fortune (Nordic publisher) and Batman Arkham Origins for $50 at Gamestop the other day. Really liking collecting for this system so far.
Hey Ladies & Gents. I am the main admin of the Wii U Collectors Group on facebook. Feel free to join up! The group is the only Wii U Exclusive one that I know of but has very few members. I also am the admin and creator of the gamecube collector group. That one has over 3,000 members!
I knew Wind Waker HD was going to be one of them as soon as I saw GameStop cut its price repeatedly. They did the exact same thing with Pikmin 3 before its NS release.
On the 3DS side of things, Tomodachi Life is a pretty big deal, since it was starting to climb on the secondhand market.
I picked up planes, croods, zombie u this week. Hoping these are pretty decent gameplay wise
planes and croods you are hoping are decent? sorry man.
Zombie U is fun but frustratingly hard.
lol hey man i thought it was worth a shot, some reviews i heard about planes were pretty decent and i thought i heard the croods was a great 4 player game but if not oh well. I got both for $10 each ha have you played both of them?
