Re: Wii-U thoughts so far
Fun article, thanks for posting.
One game to keep in mind that not a lot of people know about is Ducktales. Yes, people know about the Ducktales game and most have it but there was a variant launch day edition and the only difference I can tell is that version came with an Uncle Scrooge pin. I've hunted mine down but it's hard to find in the wild and pricier on EBay, both current listings are $70+. Just info for folks as they ramp up their Wii U collecting.
**it also has an exclusive Scrooge picture on the front cover artwork, upper left, that states "includes exclusive Disney Collector's Pin."

Ah yes, the Target exclusive with the little cover variant. Is it on the actual printed cover or the shrink wrap?

I just looked at mine and it's on the artwork. I hadn't noticed that before.

That's weird. It's getting to be a pretty rare game, but not even to be listed is odd; they've even got a listing for Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Somewhat related - I *wanted* to add this game to my want list but after watching a bunch of reviews and game play, took a pass.

Smooth Moves or Game and Wario? I have Game and Wario downloaded from an old Club Nintendo reward, but I also ordered the physical copy for my Wii U set.

It's not as good as prior Warioware games but it's still a good game. I don't know that it can justify the price tag it carries but if you can get it cheaper I would try it and see what you think.

Re: Wii-U thoughts so far
Does anyone whether there exists versions of Rodea that do not have the Wii version. I would suspect that there's no second batch (the wii version was suppose to be first print bonus) that does not have it but i can't be sure and i'm scared of getting the PAL release because i'm afraid that i only get the useless Wii U version.

Re: Wii-U thoughts so far
The PAL release includes the Wii game, and as far as I know there's never been a second print run, so every copy should include it, unless it's second hand and someone has taken the Wii disc out.
