Upgrading my HDD, I have heard mixed reviews, mostly overheating issues with higher speeds. Any opinions???
Well, it's simple laws of physics regarding the rotation speed. a faster rotation speed for a mechanical hard drive means lower seek times, but it working faster means it's generating more heat.
Your biggest problem regarding a hard drive in the ps3 is the interface limitation. It's a big reason why putting an SSD in a ps3 doesn't do jack for load times, and in some cases even makes it worse. the bottleneck is in the ps3 itself in handling it, so there's no sense in putting a faster hard drive than necessary in the console.
That being said, if you can afford to get a model with a larger buffer cache, do so. That at least would overcome the time it would take loading or writing data to the disc.

From what I've heard a 7200 doesn't have an advantage over a 5400 (like codezer0 said, the PS3's limiting), but I have yet to see conclusive evidence.

I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar -

Or when your player dies, you can say in code, if enemy exists, do nothing, but if enemy does not exist, then create enemy at certain spot. (This would be a pain tho for lots of emeies)+1 -

Easiest, simple way would be just restart scene, but player would restart from beginning.
