Did I list this game under The Legend of Zelda or would I then go for The Legend of Zelda to not count the "The" but surely the game series is more popularly known as The Legend of Zelda so it would be under Z and that is before even getting into the fact of the individual games... Cos Surely it's called Windwaker! so W... or The Windwaker... so it's back under T again anyway.

Just buy the game multiple times and sort it to T, L, Z and W... problem solved.

for the 14 games which feature a "The" on the GC on my shelf a lot of them are movie titles such as The Hobbit, The Italian Job, The Incredibles or The Polar Express simply put those games  Wouldn't make sense to file under Hobbit, Italian Job or Incredibles for me it just wouldn't be where my brain would associate the games and considering I'm doing it literally on a letter by letter on the cover basis then it makes it easiest as possible to at a glance see if I own a game based on finding it in a shop here, just takes one look at the pic on my phone to know if I've got the title rather than thinking...

Enjoy the twitching though at my lining up of games here! I'll be sure to put a pic up soon just to annoy you :D but yeah hope you get it from above, I'm not listing the games under a word in their titles which they're often called, I'm literally doing it Alphabetically for ease of aligning with a Worddoc.

I get what you're saying about the Word doc--I didn't know that the alphabetization in Word counted the word "the," though. Most programs are coded to ignore it, just like a library or store would. Personally, I use Gamepedia to track my gaming collection. If you have a Mac, I HIGHLY recommend it. It even has an iOS companion app, Pocketpedia, so I always have access to my collection. You can check it out here. I'm sure there are some good ones for Windows, too.

And yes, the Legend of Zelda games are a pain in the ass when it comes to alphabetizing. Personally, I choose to organize my games alphabetically by series title, then chronologically by release within each series. For example, since Super C is the sequel to Contra, I tell Gamepedia to sort it as Contra 2, rather than put it under S. As for The Legend of Zelda, I would file it under L, but the second game in the series is just called Zelda II, not Legend of Zelda II, so that makes my brain consider the series title as "Zelda." I wouldn't argue with anyone who wanted to put it under L, though. Putting it under "The," though... I would fight that person on the spot ; )

And yes, I'll continue to enjoy my twitching! It's therapeutic... or something. 

When though? If you think about it the Wii-U's software isn't going to be rare for at least the next 10 years, at which point will Nintendo still be offering the ability to download the patch software required for them to run or will they roll out a Wii-U update towards the end of its life which removes this requirement, keep in mind that a Wii-U game must get a security patch update to align it to the System software in place on the console, if they don't like up the game isn't booting, without the PS4/X1/X360 option of declining the update and starting the game anyway.

Just that if that system is left in place on the Wii-U after Nintendo puts it to rest it will not be a system that has any retro following in the future, unless there is a retro group for Nintendo based Doorstops.

Console system software are saved on a rom chip i think, on the motherboard. There should be plenty of used consoles having the latest updates.

Also when i got my Wii U Xenoblade Bunddle and put in the XCX disc it automaticlay updated the latest system software from the disc. I could play both Project Zero and XCX with the console which was never hooked up to the internet.

Sure you can, but then once you have done this update of the Wii-U from a game disk you will need to get the updates for all of your other titles to allow them to open on that system software, so even if you had a Wii-U with the very last firmware ever, it still would not have the software updates for any of the consoles library of games unless they had been installed while the service was still up and running.
