Come on .... To really enjoy them. They all need to be opened and for you to see what's inside :)

I already own Axiom Verge and Shakedown Hawaii on other platforms. When the time comes and I want to check out the Wii U functionality they will be opened. Finding Teddy 2/Shmup will 100% be opened once I region unlock my Wii U! I just haven't got around to it yet. They will all eventually be opened and played. I have no intention of ever selling them and keeping them sealed forever would be a waste.

Yay ! :) I tore that shrink wrap off mine as soon as they arrived, some cool extra's inside.

​

Enjoy them.

Mocha couldn't be easier. CBHC gives me weird vibes of being slightly sketchy, so I don't mind using the browser exploit whenever I boot up my Wii U.

What is the second from the left, and how are these being released?

I think these are from a company like Limited Run games.

For the most part they are just ports of indie titles, but I believe LR are releasing the original GBC Shantae on GBC cart soon.

Cool, thanks.

Finding Teddy 2 and Shmup Collection are both from PixelHeart which is based in the EU. :)

Did your Shakedown have crummy plastic wrap instead of the nice Y Fold like a normal retail release?

Mine did. It was torn when I got it in.

Sparky01GT•

Thank you for the helpful reply. And sorry yours was torn. Hopefully you planned to open it anyways

Honestly, I haven't checked yet. The special edition comes in a plastic slip cover I haven't opened yet.

1
Sparky01GT•

I mean the one in the picture

1
SaveusAlexOPAlexIsNintending•

Oh, the slipcover is not shrink wrapped at all.

1
Sparky01GT•

Oh I see my confusion. I didn't realize that was a special edition in the picture

Shakedown Hawaii was never released at retail. I would not have ever expected it to be factory sealed.

Sparky01GT•

Every Limited Run release is Y-Fold sealed.

Same. I have all four and I’m excited to see what may come next

SaveusAlexOPAlexIsNintending•

I hope there is a next. There is nothing announced though so who knows at this point.

2
TM40-Skull-Bash•

True. I’m also wondering about Japanese releases. Haven’t heard anything about them

It was the Dreamcast 2, all along.

How are you finding out about these?

SaveusAlexOPAlexIsNintending•

I'm a collector for Wii U. I own every North American title released and I keep an eye out for games that release in other regions. So by doing a search every now and then online and checking this subreddit pretty often I got the information about the release dates for all of these and snagged them the minute they went up for sale.

civcinco•

Cool. Any interesting obscure titles i should look into? I have all the ones i wanted but i will still get more if they are good.

SaveusAlexOPAlexIsNintending•

I love a game called "Tank! Tank! Tank!". It's a very arcadey, not very deep but super fun game where you just play as a tank shooting up tons of different kinds of enemies. Cool boss battles as well. It's nothing spectacular but it held my attention!

beemondo•

you own every Wii U game??

1
SaveusAlexOPAlexIsNintending•

Every NA released game and some PAL. Not counting selects and limited edition variants.

Shakedown is SUCH a fun arcade game. I loved retro city rampage on the 3ds

Im pretty sure Axiom Verge and Shakedown Miami didnt get physical release in PAL ?. Can anyone comment on that as Im not 100% certain.

I did get the other two in that pic.

Aussie Wii U collector from Australia here. Started collecting for the Wii U in 2014. I was pretty full on with it getting every version of a particular game.

I know Axiom was planned PAL not sure if it did. Shakedowns PAL release was for Wii and not Wii U.
