Reddit reviews The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Gold Remote Bundle

I made a decent side income when I was in grad school flipping video games and gaming accessories. I knew a few pawn shops close to my house that had flat rates on DS/3DS/retro games, and steeply discounted rates on accessories/non-current-gen systems. A few examples:

$10 for a new, sealed GameCube controller from 2002-ish (before they released new GC controllers with Smash for Wii U); sold for over $100 on eBay

$7 for a Skyward Sword wiimote; sold for $80.

$18 total for two complete copies of Pokemon: Heart Gold and one complete copy of Pokemon: Soul Silver (sold each for $55).

$8 total for complete copies of Mario Party 4, 5, 6, and 7; sold each for $25-40.

Nononononono! Get this!

Its only single player so you really only need 1 motion plus controller, and this pack gets you the nifty Zelda controller and the game. In Australia, its actually cheaper to buy the limited ed pack than getting a motion plus controller and the game. (I think.)

I don't know how you did since amazon is not selling it themselves

Nope, here's the cheapest copy available.

The one with the golden wii mote is over $200 already

I just don't understand why it's so expensive already. It seems really early for it to be collectible.

Uhh, the $70 Zelda bundle that is currently selling for $100-$170 on Amazon? Or the free collector's Edition disk that goes for $50-$200? I don't think that example did what you were hoping it would.

amazon has it for the price of your first-born child..

Strange, I got this email today:

As I said in the description, only looking for N64 stuff unless the trade is heavily in my favor. Also, Skyward Sword Bundle New costs $200

ahem Take a look at the price, if he sells just one at the going rate, he'd nearly break even on the investment.

It's all about luck. You have to call all of your local stores to see if they still have any in stock. If not, you can buy them off of Amazon, but since it's past the release date the cheapest one you're going to find is $108.

FYI, Amazon has it available for pre-order now.

finally

At this point it kinda became something to collect. I have my Wii in another room from the Wii U, so I just pair them to their respective systems and I can at least tell myself "They all have a purpose". Personally I prefer to have controllers of different colors since it's a lot easier to distinguish between "the 3rd player light" and "the green controller".

I started with 4 white regular Wiimotes from the Wii. Through out the life I got 2 motion+ adapters (With Tiger Woods and Wii Sports Resort).

For everything EXCEPT golf I prefer the smaller controller with motion+ built in. For Golf (Tiger or Wii Sports) I find the longer length preferable, so I kept 1 original remote with motion plus and started getting new colored controllers to replace the originals. I have friends and family with Wii's so 3 of my 4 originals were gifted to new homes as I got new ones.

If you buy Nintendo Refurbs it's pretty cheap. You can get 3 separate colors (White, Black, Blue) with matching nunchucks for $65 shipped.

I also got the Zelda collectors edition so that right there is 5. (White+ Black+ Blue+ Gold+ White w/adapter)

The wife wanted Pink Motion+, so now that's 6.

and my son Likes the Mario + Luigi ones, so I got him the Luigi one from the Newegg NintendoLand deal last month ($30 shipped for both) and since I owned NintendoLand I sold it (Factory sealed) on Amazon for $20. So that's my 7 which doesn't include the Black Wiimote+ I got in Wii Party U I gifted out.

Honestly I'd love to get a Red one with a matching nunchuck myself but for the price of importing them from Japan I could buy a Wii mini and give away the system. I'm hoping they show up on the Refurb store at some point.

Now the Wife LOVES the Peach one so I'll definitely be getting that at minimum and that'll be 8 (unless she wants to gift out the original pink), but can already see a potential 9 or 10 if I get a deal on the Mario / Regular red controllers.

and now they announced a Yoshi one... Arrrrrrrrrrgh. Gonna have to think about that.

I should downvote for piracy, but I'll let you off this time. Today is your lucky day. Buy it. http://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-Skyward-Remote-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B002I0GEHI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1322693372&sr=8-2
