Ubisoft5/27/2014Europe

Aiden Pearce's vigilante gear belongs in your hands, not just on your screen. The WATCH DOGS Vigilante Edition for Wii U is one of those collector's packages that understood the assignment, bundling the original soundtrack alongside Aiden's iconic cap and mask as wearable physical items. Toss in the Palace Pack DLC, an investigation bonus, ATM hack boost, and a single-player mission, and you've got a complete hacker's toolkit for Ubisoft's open-world Chicago.

The physical pieces are the real draw here. That cap and mask turned Aiden Pearce into one of the most recognizable silhouettes of the era, and having them as tangible collectibles gives this edition serious shelf presence. The Wii U version of Watch Dogs already occupies a strange footnote in gaming history, arriving months after every other platform in November 2014 with GamePad integration that let you run Chicago's ctOS from a second screen.

That late release and lower print run means sealed copies are getting harder to find. For collectors who appreciate the odd convergence of Ubisoft's surveillance thriller on Nintendo hardware, the Vigilante Edition is the version that comes with the costume to prove it.
