Is there anything super extra special with this, or is it just not really available physically, otherwise?
A soundtrack CD and a fancier box seems to be the only difference.

There's also a poster, but I'm pretty sure that was included with the western release too.

Sorry, I didn't see your post until now, pierrot, but yeah, this is basically it. I just really like Shenmue and wanted the double soundtrack album.

Oh wow I didn't know about those! Weird to see these late Wii U digital exclusives. I imagine these aren't selling particularly well...

A lot of late period Wii U exclusives look and play a lot like early period Famicom exclusives...

That said, and all kidding aside, Shadow Archer is actually a really, really rad game. Very fun; very addictive scorechaser with great gameplay and mechanics. Here’s NintendoLife’s spot-on review:

I have separated the games I got in two categories, New and Retro, new is any game released in the last 5 years and Retro is anything older than that. Listed in no particular order.

New

Octopath Traveler: Wayfarer’s Edition (US) - Switch
Little Dragons Cafe Limited Edition (US) - PS4
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (UK) - Switch
Code of Princess EX (US) - Switch
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Edition of Lost Time (UK) - PS4
Yakuza Kiwami 2: SteelBook Edition (UK) - PS4
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life After Hours Premium Edition (UK) - PS4
Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! + Poké Ball Plus Pack (UK) - Switch

Dragon's Crown Pro Battle-Hardened Edition (UK) - PS4
Bayonetta 2 Special Edition (UK) - Switch
Shenmue I&II/Shenmue I&II Japanese Collector’s Edition* (UK/JP) PS4

Bonus List Digital Purchases

Downfall (2016) - Steam

Retro

Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (US) - PC
Shadowman (UK) - PC
The Last Remnant (UK) - PC
Super Mario 3D Land (UK) - 3DS
Super Mario 64 DS (UK) - DS

Amiibo, peripherals and assorted gaming merchandise not included, I think they distract from the list.

Notes:
As you can see most of my money went to modern Limited Editions this year and not enough retro games, because of that I have made an edict of sorts to buy a minimum of one retro game a month (Retro being any game from a generation before the last) though last month I actually got a Retro accessory instead, I plan to make up for that by getting 3 new Retro games by the end of the year.

Only new games I plan to get still this year is the Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! + Poké Ball Plus Pack version to go with the one I already got and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Limited Edition.

*I don't actually have Shenmue I&II Japanese Collector’s Edition in my hands, is in the DHL offices to be delivered on Monday but I figure I added it despite the distinction.
