Rodea the Sky Soldier

Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding Rodea the Sky Soldier for Wii. Or is it Wii U? Do you need it to complete either set or both? I can see that you can argue both ways, so I would like to hear your opinions.

    Even though the Wii version came bundled with the Wii U version, it has a Wii specific game code. In my opinion it checks off all the boxes required to be part of a game library.



    Is it a game? Check.

    Is it original media authorised by Nintendo? Check.

    Does it natively run on the original system? Check.



    I definitely consider it part of the library. The packaging doesn't matter. That's only good for display on a shelf.



    For me Star Fox 2 isn't part of the original SNES library because it fails some of the above checks.



    But everyone will have their own opinion. What about Wii Ware? Are those games part of the Wii set?  Someone might define (for themselves) a Wii set to consist of both physical and digital only games while someone else might consider only physical games.



    There really is no "correct" definition of what is required for a console library.

    I'd count it as part of the Wii set (and Wii U, because there are discs for both). It's a weird situation, not many releases span multiple platforms like that.



    If I was hardcore collecting both libraries I'd just spend the $10 twice and use the reversible cover in my Wii set so I don't have to think about it. But I understand this is just a thought exercise about set lists

    Definitely counts as part of the Wii set. If it doesn't count, then star fox guard doesn't count for the Wii u set.

    Sorry why wouldn't it count towards the set? Of course it counts.

    It's not that I dont want it to count, but it is a really weird situation. Was just interested in what everyone thinks. I would pay for 2 if it wasn't such an expensive game over here, it is like

    I believe theres a Wii version and Wii U version. They're on different discs. It counts because it's officially licensed by Nintendo and physical.



    My personal opinion: I don't think digital games count to complete sets. Because you can't collect them. After the online shops are shutdown, there's no chance at getting digital games that you don't already have. Getting complete sets is 100% a collectors game, I get the value in digital content from a gamers perspective, but for a pure collector digital downloads have no value

    AFAIK in the US, all retail copies include both versions. No separate reprints occurred.
