I was hoping to get a hold of the 5cm novel a week after its release but unfortunately, my Japanese penpal is away on holiday so that's not going to be possible.

I know I said I probably wouldn't going get Metroid Prime 3: Corruption but, since Elebits didn't last very long, I decided to get it anyway while I waited for another good title on the Wii. For some reason, even though I had the latest 3.10E update, the game icon wouldn't load and I still had to perform an update off the DVD before the game...
