Just found this article on the Googles too:

And yes, part 1 is on a separate disc.

Another Wii U game that's pretty easy to find here for a low price. Loads of offers for between £10-20 for the game before christmas during the sales.

Indeed. It's like £15 on ShopTo at the moment.

I am guessing that Devils Third will end up like Xenoblade and get a reprint when Gamestop decides to make money off of it. After the recent reprinting of games I am gonna hold off throwing down good money on anything from a current generation that is supposed to be rare!

MVP of the month, Mr BoneSnapDeez!

Target saved the day. Bayo is in my hands! But I tried my local Target, 3 Walmarts, Gamestop (they noted a store 2 hours away had a copy which almost tempted me haha), and Best Buy's were all out... but a second Target had 3 copies left. Phew!

Doing a search of ebay for Rodea makes me happy I have not opened my copy yet.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

So does the Wii U only support SD cards up to 32GB? Do you guys have any recommended cards?

I don't bother with the SD card drive except for Wii titles. I have a 150gb solid state drive in a usb 2.0 enclosure for expanding the WiiU's storage. Sadly, USB 2.0 is all the machine supports.

The SD card only works for Wii titles anyway. You need a hard drive for Wii U stuff.

WHAT

I don't exactly have the AC or shelf space to have to go out of my way and hook up an external to expand my Wii U storage. Blah.

Relax.

I have the 500 GB version of this, and I hooked it up to my Wii U with this. This set up works wonderfully, loads games quickly, is completely silent, is incredibly small, and does not require another outlet.

I hope that helps!
