I'm glad I waited a while to buy this game, because now I have a retail version! ^.^/. I thought I would never see a retail WiiU game with an actual Instruction manual in color! It reminded me of the early NES Super Mario 3 and Zelda manuals with lots of art and hints. I really miss those manuals :'(. Yacht Club really made an effort with this physical release which I could only encourage.
