I would say the fact that they have (Tentative Title) in there prooooobably means we won't be seeing some of them this year though

You're right but also I wouldn't say those (tentative titles) say anything themselves, they just announced Mario vs. Donkey Kong's title last month.

I am kinda hoping that wooly world turns out good. I know I'll be grabbing Kirby soon and I'm on board for day one purchase of Zelda and xenoblade whenever they come out but I'm wary of what yoshi or star Fox may turn out to be like.

The only TBA titles I have doubts about are Art Academy (it's already been delayed a bunch for no reason and they haven't said anything about it in ages) and Devil's Third (it's Devil's Third).

Pre-order Mario Party 10 at Newegg for $44 shipped with promo code EMCANAS55, if you don't mind pre-ordering a game from Newegg. I buy my PC stuff from them but I hear they aren't the ideal choice for release day delivery.

edit: thought Mario Party 10 was going to be $60 and that this was an actual deal worth mentioning. I guess $6 can buy a sensible meal at a fast food establishment so there's that?

Newegg is also one of the few places you can order it online without being charged tax (for people living in New York at least).

What's the USB Y cable that people have been buying on amazon? I searched and all I see are DVI, female to male and other proprietary cables.

Here's one that'll just covert your USB cable to a Y cable.

I gave that pitch vibrato. Pitches love vibrato.

Do all hard drives require a Y cable to be hooked up properly...? I just hooked up a Seagate drive with external power in the past couple days with its normal cable, and I haven't had any problems yet. That being said, I only have the Metroid Prime trilogy on the hard drive right now, and I've only been able to play that for an hour so far, so I'm willing to believe problems could crop up with extended use or more games, etc.

If it has external power, you do not need a Y cable. Y cables are for portable drives to give them juice in lieu of an external power brick.

This is the one I got. Seems to work pretty well, and it's actually a few dollars cheaper now than when I ordered it a week ago.


It's worth noting that, if you do want to use a USB 3.0 drive with the Wii U, there's no need to get a 3.0 cable; the Wii U doesn't support 3.0 anyway. If you've got a a Y-split micro USB cable it'll work fine with a 3.0 drive. [Edit: Oh, that linked one is actually cheaper than the Y split micro USB cables I've seen, that's odd. Probably not a bad buy after all.]

I always forget that USB3 is such a wonky looking cable because it's got a 2 connector right in it. Hurf Durf. Still though, it is nice and cheap.

That first cloaked drone fight in Prime1 made me feel the dumbest, I think. Kinda catches you off guard and there's no great immediately obvious way to fight it.

Also you can't scan it- Metroid Prime, does your cruelty know no bounds?

That said I played Yoshi's Island for the first time recently. It's actually really fun and I am cautiously optimistic for Wooly World even if every single attempt at another Yoshi's Island was terrible

I think you're referring to Zelda. I remember way back in 2003, we didn't get the The Wind Waker's title until like, two months before release.
