I mean, I'm not on your level of digital eShop spending or anything, but how much of that do you have filled? Did you opt for regular digital titles on sale vs. physical?

I saw at Toys R Us that they had a bunch of the $19.99 - $29.99 ranging WiiU smaller releases - your Runbow's etc. I cannot see these selling and have to think in less than a year they'll be heavily discounted. Another place to keep in mind besides your Targets and what not.

Same. I have a Japanese copy on my shelf for the sake of having a physical copy (and it came in an eBay lot), but I totally agree.

I have a physical copy of Maiden of Black Water, because there was a limited run (not the company, just literally a limited run) of physical editions released in Europe and the UK. I never understood why they didn't do the same in North America and other parts of the world.

Well because obviously things like Xenoblade and niche' Japanese games don't sell very well in the US and spark a new franchise or anything. Nah.

Runbow is a game I didn't have on the list a few pages back. I'll edit to add it in. Does anyone have anything else to add?

Fatal Frame retail would have been great and I'd actually own it. As it is it takes too much hard drive space right now and I haven't formatted and plugged in my portable hard drive yet. I need to find instructions on on how add an external hard drive.

Because, despite Reggie, Nintendo of America kind of sucks ass. Nintendo of Europe is 1000x cooler.
