For some people, it's a chore to try and restrain the giddy feeling such a great, fun game elicits right off the bat.

I now Other M was a high tier embarrassment, and it's a terrible game, but man I hope they make a new one. Though at the same time, remember a StarFox/Metroid crossover game was actually a real thing they briefly considered, so maybe it's for the better if they don't.

If by "considered", you mean "something someone made up on the Internet as an 'E3 leak'", then yes, they considered it.

I did. The 3DS remake also has Master Quest if you've beaten the game, though. I don't know if it's an exact copy of the promo disc.

It's not really more difficult, the puzzles are just dumber and so they're a little bit harder to figure out. For instance, there's one part in the Spirit Temple where you need to play the Song of Time about ten times to build a literal staircase of blocks to a switch. Or in Jabu-Jabu belly, there's a bunch of cows in the wall you need to hit with a slingshot in order to active doors, like said above.

True facts: The worst dungeon in the 3D games is the MQ Fire Temple.

It's not worth the effort, and it'd actually make things more complicated. The Wii Mode's a nice general thing that lets you use your old Wii disc and VC games, and, most importantly; it works 100% on anything Wii-related with no headaches. To get games working through whatever magic they're doing for the Wii eShop releases still needs at least a bugtesting pass.

And, more importantly, the Wii was hacked inside and out, so it needs to be sandboxed to prevent using it as a springboard to a similar level of Wii U hacking.

The Greenlight page for Meme Run claims it's the "third best selling eShop game". I dunno if that means it hit #3 on the sales charts one time or if it's legitimately doing better than real actual games for non-children but it's depressing either way.

I guess the silver lining is that it just reinforces the fact that there's a market on Wii U for your games, no matter how inane, so if you're working on something you think is neat you might as well release on Wii U.

Shockingly, the eShop doesn't separate regulars sales from "Oh man, the Internet is saying that this game is terrible so I'm going to reward the lovely devs by buying it as well!" sales.

Considering the number of games I've gotten on the 24GB that the system comes with, I'm not concerned about getting a drive bigger than that.

I really don't want to spend $50 on a hard drive, only to end up using like 50GB of it. I prefer physical Nintendo games since they keep their value for resale.

Okay, but now try again reading a little slower this time.

So, is there any way to buy Metroid Prime without immediately downloading it. My hunt for a USB y cable isn't going so well, and I don't want to miss the sale.

You can buy it even if you don't have room. Just remember that if it's in your download list after you get your hard drive set up, you have to delete the one in your download list, and go to the Downloads section of the eShop to redownload it so it'll prompt to go to the hard drive instead. Good luck with that Y-cable, I gave up looking at a brick and mortar and just bought it on Amazon.
