Is it OK to get a pre-owned one? Like is there any functionality that gets locked away that I should worry about?

I'm on the fence between new vs used.

Yeah this is the way to go unless you're really getting a bomb rear end price on the used one. There's not going to be anything you can't do on the used one though

Any Wii-U game made before Mario kart or that is not Mario kart that is coming before mid 2015 is garbage though.

Best Buy is giving away Zombi-U and nobody is taking them.

Rayman Legends has perfected 2D platforming. I'm sorry you deny the inherit superiority of the French Videogame.


a game which nobody bought and even Nintendo admitted that nobody was going to buy, which was why it was free

lol you constantly mention how much you buy games on sale, like price should factor into the quality of the game and if its worth playing, your time is worthless

No, nobody had the balls to charge 20 dollars full price for something like Gone Home. Those are 5 dollar e-shop titles.
