Gaming Purchases - Juni 2020

Juni 2nd:

Visited my mom again today. She had another good day and we walked a full lap around the entire hospital, great weather yesterday too, and on the way home I visited GameStop again.
The Wii U console and all games were pre-owned/used (unless otherwise specified), and the collectibles were all new.

DS:
WinX Club Rockstars

Wii:
Kororinpa
Monster High Ghoul Spirit

Wii U hardware:
a black Wii U Elite 32GB console (with tablet controller, Wii sensor bar, power cable, HDMI cable, charger cable for the tablet, charging bay for the tablet, a regular stand for the tablet and two small clip-on vertical stands for the console)

PlayStation 3:
Call of Duty Black Ops II (disc only)
Crysis 2 (disc only)
Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate (disc only)
Saints Row IV (made sure to pick up the correct game this time!)

PlayStation 4:
RIGS Mechanized Combat League (new)

Xbox 360:
Colin McRae DiRT (disc only)
Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 (disc only)
Skyrim (disc only)
Race Driver GRID (disc only)
Rise of the Tomb Raider (disc only)
WarTech Senko no Ronde (this was the PAL version, I originally got the NTSC version back in the day and it's nice to finally have the proper PAL release as well)
Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z Special Edition (sadly missing the Special Edition comic book, but the soundtrack CD was included)

Collectibles/Other:
a StarLink Pilot Pack - Razor Lemay
two more Crash Bandicoot keyring figure blindbags (containing Aku Aku and yet another Crash)
and two more Lara Croft Temple of Osiris Totaku figures

Juni 11th:

Went ahead and ordered some games, mainly for my recently purchased Wii U since I didn't have anything to play on it other than regular Wii games.

I placed orders from two separate places a few of days ago (Juni 8th) and the first package arrived today. The games that arrived today were all new and sealed copies.

PlayStation 3:
Ultimate Action Triple Pack (Just Cause 2, Sleeping Dogs and the Tomb Raider 2013 Reboot)

Wii U:
Art Academy Atellier
Call of Duty Black Ops II
Legend of Kay Anniversary
LEGO Batman 3 Beyond Gotham
LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens
The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juni 12th:

Second order of games arrived today. All of these were used copies.

UPDATE: Two of the four games didn't work! Zelda Wind Waker HD was damaged on the data side of the disc so it didn't work at all, the Wii U didn't even recognize it as a Wii U game, and ZombiU was the american release, which doesn't work on my european Wii U system. It should've been labelled as an import but they hadn't noticed and sold it as a regular game by mistake.
LEGO Batman 2 and Super Mario 3D World both worked, but there was extensive water damage to the Super Mario 3D World cover so the paper was all gross and nasty, and the LEGO Batman 2 disc has some rather worrying looking scratches on it.
The scratches on LEGO Batman 2 were on the outer part of the disc and the game starts up without any issues. Hopefully they're shallow enough that it will remain fully playable without any noticeable issues, but until I've played through the entire game 100%, I can't say for certain.
I contacted the store about this and because these were all Wii U games, they didn't have any more copies to replace them with.
I am to return the two games that didn't work and then I would get a 10% discount on the order for the remaining two games as "goodwill", as they phrased it in their reply.

Wii U:
LEGO Batman 2 DC Super Heroes (some scratches on the disc, only playing through it and 100%-ing the game will tell if it will have problems later on or not)
Super Mario 3D World (game was fine but the cover had severe water damage and looked gross, grimy and nasty as a result)
The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker HD (didn't work at all, there was damage on the data side of the disc and the Wii U didn't even recognize the disc)
ZombiU (american release, unplayable on my european Wii U)
