Forty-five centimeters of Captain Edward Kenway standing at the front of your collection. The Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Buccaneer Edition for Wii U leads with a figurine that commands attention, a detailed sculpt of the pirate assassin himself that anchors everything else in the box. Behind that centerpiece, you'll find an artbook, the official game soundtrack, two lithographs in a protective envelope, and three additional solo missions: "Black Island," where you dive for Captain Morgan's legendary sailing equipment; "Hidden Mystery," tracing Stede Bonnet's adventures across St.

Lucia; and "Sacrificed Secrets," recovering Captain Drake's golden flintlocks from the island of Sacrifices. That figurine is why this edition exists. At 45cm, it's not a token pack-in.

It's a display piece that holds its own next to dedicated statue lines. The Buccaneer Edition represented the top tier of Black Flag collecting in Europe, and finding one on Wii U puts you in rare territory. The console's smaller install base means fewer of these were sold, fewer were preserved, and fewer are circulating now.

For Assassin's Creed collectors who want the flagship physical edition on Nintendo's most underappreciated hardware, this is the one.
