Nintendo fans rage, profiteers rejoice over ultra-limited Hyrule Warriors edition

Nintendo collectors will go to ridiculous lengths to get their hands on the rarest of the company's games, as anyone who's followed the sky-high prices paid for Nintendo World Championship cartridges can attest. Today, those collectors have a new collectible to lust after: a limited-edition version of Hyrule Warriors given only to a few hundred patient customers at the Nintendo World Store in New York City this morning.

I've never understood people who go gaga for collectors/limited editions of video games, but then again I'm in no way a collector, of anything, so perhaps I'll never to able to understand its allure.

Summons753524d ago

Same reason why people collect coffee mugs, cherished teddies, precious moments or memories (whatever) or people display trophies from their life. It's nice to put things up around your house/apartment that represents your own personality, something their proud of. While I don't buy every single Collector's edition I do like to get some of the nice physical stuff they give out for franchises I love. When I won't flip out if I can't get it or afford it I do like it once in a while.

Yokan3524d ago

Im the same way, I remeber shelling out $150 for the TLoU Post Pandemic Edition and my wife completely flipped out because it was too much. Now she sees how much theyre worth at ebay and doesnt say nothing about the matter.

Codey473524d ago

We're a strange lot us collectors.

I normally find the WiiU owners to be the least vocal of the N4G bunch.

But then again they have nothing to be vocal about :P
I jest guys..... please don't hang, draw and quarter me yet.

Magicite3524d ago

too much money and time, too little brains.

Buff10443524d ago

Munnkyman3524d ago

GamingSinceThe80s3524d ago

jaymart2k3524d ago

GamingSinceThe80s3524d ago

DoggyBiscuit3524d ago

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds491d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

deleted491d ago

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman69491d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3491d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese491d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits490d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

shinoff2183491d ago

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

The cool thing about the PS2 chainsaw display was that there was a (kind-of) hidden compartment at the back which was the exact size to hold the PS2 steelbook.

darthv721178d ago

I have that controller but sadly I lost the main cord. And its not something that was anything close to being standard or easy to find.

PrimeVinister1177d ago

One of my friends had it back in the day and I had wondered alout why it had a detachable cord that you could lose.

My friend then said it was so they could manufacture the one unit and then fire its appropriate cord in the appropriate box.

But then we realised each version has a different socket on the unit itself - so there was zero point in it except for collectors to lose the cable.

You know the designers are on r/, gamecollecting, laughing away.

jamesclark19911177d ago

I kept my cord in the "hidden" little brown drawer on the base of the unit.
