Book of Unwritten Tales 2, The (Wii U) price, value & rarity
The Wii U edition shipped late, in 2017, onto a console Nintendo had already moved on from, which kept the physical Nordic Games pressing tiny. A point-and-click adventure on Wii U is itself an oddity, the genre having largely abandoned Nintendo home consoles. Sealed copies surface rarely, and this multilingual release with its shared Europe and US sleeve draws steady niche demand.
Is Book of Unwritten Tales 2, The still worth playing in 2026?
A point and click adventure from King Art, The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 extends a comic heroic fantasy world packed with nods to video games and genre cinema. The classic puzzles, the humour filled writing and the polished art direction make it a worthy genre representative, accessible to newcomers. The sometimes slow pace and inventory back and forth slow the momentum. A good point and click for fans of narrative adventure and parodic fantasy on Wii U.
