A: undefined

Q: Can you play this specific game with the GameCube controller?

A: undefined

Q: Did this game get a reprint with a new cover?

A: No. The cover Best Buy uses in their Wii U picture was never an actual cover for the game. As of 12/2018, no alternate covers exist.

Q: Are you buying copies and if so for how much?

A: No, I'm not buying copies. Perhaps if I didn't take care of the game I would consider it. But it's so easy to find it even today, I don't feel the need to buy a copy. If a new console comes out and the games get discontinued, again I will consider it.

One of the Best Games Ever Released
If you have a Wii U you need this game. In my opinion its the best game on the system period. If you cant get your hands on a Switch to play its Switch Port, I think its worth buying a second hand/refurbished Wii U just to get this game (not to mention a dozen other AAA Wii U exclusives). Even if I had a Switch, for the forseeable future the Wii U arguably has a much better lineup of released games and as I said before, Zelda Breath of the Wild is reason enough to get the platform. If you own a Wii U, you owe it to yourself to get it. Best of all, If you are in the Best Buy gaming club you get 20% off the sticker price. Dont miss out on this gem. I ordered this from Best Buy's website and no issues at all. It was delivered: sealed, before the estimated delivery date and in perfect condition.

Best Zelda Game Ever
I have played a lot of Zelda games in different gaming console and this is yet the best Zelda game I have played thus far. I like the freedom to move anywhere I want to, but I find some bosses are very difficult to beat earlier in the game when you don't have enough hearts and weapons are not as powerful yet. I didn't have to buy "switch" since I only have time to play when I'm at home anyways, so the Wii-U worked just fine. Thank you!!

Among the Best
I guess, in the end, it’s not just that Breath of the Wild signals that Zelda has finally evolved and moved beyond the structure it’s leaned on for so long. It’s that the evolution in question has required Nintendo to finally treat its audience like intelligent people. That newfound respect has led to something big, and different, and exciting. But in an open world full of big changes, Breath of the Wild also almost always feels like a Zelda game — and establishes itself as the first current, vital-feeling Zelda in almost 20 years.
