Recommended Posts

Axiom Verge?

Also, it would be nice to know which games have printed manuals. I'm working towards a full set (without variants) and think I'm missing a few manuals.

Do you have a photo of the refurbished Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD? I had heard of the refurbished titles but didn't realize there was one for WW HD.

Axiom Verge was only released in the single version by LimitedRun on Wii U.

My Wii U set is about 90% sealed, so I'm not going to be much help on the manuals question, sorry!

Does anyone have a copy of @Lago's list? It's showing as "unavailable."

Are you signed in when you try to download it?  It’s showing as available for me.

Let me know and I’ll get it to you one way or another.  I’ve not updated it in some time.  I’m in the middle of relocating so it’ll be a while before I get around to it.

Maybe I wasn't. Logged in now and was able to access it. Thank you!

Awesome!  You need to add Shakedown Hawaii.  Other than that it’s a complete list of games BUT NOT a complete list of variants.

Thank you for compiling this list!

Speaking of variants...

Was Star Fox Guard released as a standalone title, or did it only come bundled with Zero? And was there a 2nd version that only had Zero not bundled with Guard?

Does New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U have additional content from the two standalone releases that would warrant making it a unique release and not a variant?

Take any information I have on variants at your own risk.


I’ve never seen Starfox as anything other than a bundle.  Although you could piece it together from GameStop back in the day.  Also 5 below had them at one point.

From everything I can tell there is no difference between the U’s and you absolutely could count that as a variant.  Luigi U is the only Wii U game I ever saw with a green case.  If that sort of thing is important to you.

Well, after waiting years to complete my variant set by finding a Target Jurassic Park big box, the first listing I'm finding is asking for $8K.  I've been debating giving up and listing all of my variants.  Perhaps this is a sign.

Err.... Just because some clown WANTS $8k for it doesn't mean it's actually worth that much. If it actually sells then it's a different story.

Of course.  It's just kind of snapped me into reality that I've been searching for this one variant for years and I'm not sure if I've got the heart to pay even a fraction of that price.  I know others have offered more than $1K+ for another copy years ago.  It just kind of makes me stop and take stock of what I want to get out of collecting the Wii U.

Just found this thread, super helpful! I recently went searching for Mario kart 8 variants and wanted to share my findings.

The only thing I haven’t figured out is if the same NFR as in the Wii U Deluxe Set was used for the NYC exclusive blue shell figure bundle.

- Made in USA, UPC 00100, print code 82909A, "Nintendo Network" badge
- Made in USA, UPC 00101, print code 82909B, "Nintendo Network" badge
- Made in USA, UPC 00100, print code 83055ANFR 2014 Wii U Deluxe Set Pack-In
- Made in USA, UPC 00100, print code 101514A, amiibo badge, "amiibo sold separately" text
- Made in Japan, UPC 00000, print code 101979A, amiibo badge, "amiibo™ sold separately" text

I'm pretty sure 82909A is the very first NTSC-U print.

More game prints for the list. This time Bayonetta 2 (NTSC-U).

- Made in USA, serial code 00000, print code 83663A, includes Bayonetta 1
- Made in USA, serial code 00101, print code 83663B, includes Bayonetta 1
- Made in USA, serial code 00100, print code 100178A, includes Bayonetta 1
- Made in Japan, serial code 00000, print code 103567A

Also, you're reading the above correctly. There's a Made in USA print with a 00000 serial. I don't get it, especially because revision B (next line) is 00101. So it must have been a printing error or something.
