10 Most Extravagant (Or Just Plain Stupid) Pre-Order Gaming Bonuses No One Wanted

5. Super Street Fighter IV €“ Thumb Fighters

This entry may be my personal favourite, if only for Capcom's amusing effort to externalise gameplay...onto our thumbs. Once again we are looking at a GameStop effort, and this bonus takes the cake for uselessness. Essentially the game comes with a couple of small masks to put on your thumb. They're based on the games characters and allow players to simulate the game with real life thumb wrestling. When it comes down to it Capcom is simply giving you 'costumes' to enhance a trivial playground game you probably haven't played since you were a little kid anyway. Still, if you get bored with Super Street Fighter, you know how to shake things up! Ironically, the thumb motions involved in thumb-wrestling are pretty similar to what you'd be doing with controller anyway. So really, what's the point of this?
