Video Game Collector’s Editions That Weren’t Worth the Money
Hyrule Warriors Limited Edition
There were a number of different Nintendo collector’s editions for Wii U games; pretty much every first party game had a big box set. A majority of these collector’s editions following the release of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U included amiibo figures, but Nintendo had to come up with something to put in the ones that came before that.
For Mario Kart 8, this was a cool spiny shell figure that you could easily display. The spiny shell has been stealing people’s victories since 1996, so it makes sense to include something as iconic as that in a collector’s edition.
For Hyrule Warriors, you get Link’s scarf. Now, Link’s not really known for wearing a scarf, considering he never has before this game or since. It’s not quite a piece that you can easily display like a statue or figure, either.
Sure, you could wear the scarf, but then you could end up misplacing it outside of your house. Then that big box sitting at home just becomes a big of a waste of space.
