November 2014 hauls.

[TDIRunner]

nice pickup. for some strange reason the wii u pro controller has become my favorite controller of this generation, even more so than the xbox one and dualshock 4 controller.

I may have to agree with you there. The Wii U Pro controller is unbelievably comfortable to me. I've always been a really big fan of the PS Dual Shock controllers (and I do like the Dual Shock 4 aside from the share and options buttons), but the more I use my Pro Controller the more I find myself liking it more and more. And while I've never really had anything against the Xbox controllers, I've always preferred to have my analog sticks symmetrical to each other.

That last part is completely true for me.  I haven't used the Wii U pro controller yet, but I was a big fan of the classic controller for the original Wii.

For me, the basic design of the PS controller (once they added the analog sticks) has allways been the best designed controller in my opinion.

I'd pick one up if I were you. Like BadChad was saying it is incredibly comfortable and ergonomic. It just melts in your hand when you are holding it. And the analog stick placement is exactly where your thumbs naturally rest when you hold it, making it ideal for fps and fast twitch games. Plus the battery life on it is amazing. I can go weeks without charging it.

The reason I haven't used it yet is because I don't have a Wii U.

But I assure you that whenever I eventually pick one up, I will get a pro controller.

Got that large haul yesterday for 100$ (CA, 90$ US ). I think it's worth it just for the collectors boxes.  Thought the Killzone 3 is so big I may end up reselling it for a lack of storage space.
On top of that, everything is in mint condition and some games are still sealed

I really want to like this controller more than I do, but I am not a big fan of thumbstick placement.  The main issue for me tho, is the LAG, especially for virtual console games.  VC games are 90% of what I play on the Wii U.  Now the lag isn't really major, just a few milliseconds, but when playing Super Mario 3, or Super C, or another game where absolute precision is a must, the Wii U Pro just isn't the best. 
And, no, this s not just a busted controller, or a faulty Wii U.  I have been complaining with others about this issue for almost 2 years.  There is no lag with the gamepad, the wii mote or any other controller for any other system.

Nice haul dude!

Thanks! I was surprised the guy still had it unsold after a few days, but at the same time, besides the collectors edition, the game aren't' worth much.
In the end, it's nice to pick them all up at a single time. Costs nothing on shipping and I had only one of those games already.

I also got Watchdogs for Wii U today. I think  I'm good until Christmas

I remember that lack of input lag was one of the main touted features of the wired Gamecube controllers for SSB Wii U. I didn't pick a Gamecube controller up because I'm not a big Gamecube guy and I'm more of a casual player so it didn't seem like a big deal to me for a game like SSB. I now wonder if I'll be at a significant disadvantage compared to players using the wired GC conrollers.

I picked up the Wii U Pro controller based on some good reviews and I'm a fan of the 360 controller, which the Pro controller reminds me of (it's actually a bit more comfortable to me though I haven't played using the thumbsticks yet). Regarding the Wii U Gamecube controller, I'm reluctant to get yet another controller for the system. I already have 4 Wii Motion Plus Motes (to play NSMBU) on top of the Gamepad w/screen and now having a Wii U Pro controller it feels like a bit much. Do you think the wii motes have a fast enough response time for VC and games where precision timing is critical or do you need to go wired with a Gamecube controller for maximum control? Is there another wired option besides the Gamecube controller or is it not necessary as the wii motes would suffice?

One last note on the Wii U Pro controller, not a fan of the piano black. It's impossible to keep it looking good with how it shows fingerprints...

I have played Mario 3, Zelda, etc with the wii mote and haven't experienced any problems.  The only lag I have ever noticed is when using the wii u pro, and only on VC titles.  I have been playing Hyrule Warriors lately with the pro, and haven't had any problems.  I don't know if the lag is so minute that it doesn't matter?  I have not tested the pro with New Super Mario U, or Mario 3D word, so I can't verify how it plays with them or other wii u based platformers. FOr Hyrule, Windwaker, Call of Duty - I haven;t noticed anything.  I have only had problems with the VC games.  But then again, those games usually require a lot more timing that games do today.  But if there is some minor lag, I can see Smash Bros being REALLY frustrating, especially online.

Now the Gamecube is one of my top 5 favorite controllers ever (we should do a list of our favorite controllers...) so I am really excited about getting my bundle for Christmas.  Sadly, my wife won't let me open it early 
And what excites me even more is that it supposedly will work with any wii u game that supports the pro controller.

I like that, you should start one.

Agreed. The gamecube is definitely up there in terms of comfort. It does have amazing triggers (quite possibly my favorite triggers of all time).

personally I think most games complicated the GameCube Controllers controls, but in terms of comfort the 360 controller wins that

Ordered all 19 Amiibos available now or soon.

Freraking expensive but... what the heck.

[larryinc64]

I wanted to buy them all, but for me they are way too much. I'm getting only the charicters who don't have figures. I have Mario, Link, Wii Fit, Villager, Lucario, and Shulk lined up. I hate some are exslusive to some stores, I need to preorder Meta Knight.

[N64 Guy]

Yup meh with grading fees I anticipate about $2000 for the whole set plus the bundle and a regular copy gradded. I'm not collecting sealed games much in 2015 gotta save for a vacation with the girlfriend. I just dropped $500 on one sealed game earlier this week. This is really all I'm actively collecting for 2015 unless another stupid rare 64 game poops up.
