Yo' Bro is most commonly used, so I guess it's the most correctest option.  I like the idea of it being a shortened form of "Your Bro", akin to Lil' Bro from Camp California.

Right. And i say that because the apostrohe generally indicates an abbreviation of sort.

I'm split. The apostrophe is in the most cases. However, there's no apostrophe in the actual game itself.

Hm...this is an important issue, worth a good deal of thought and time...

I'm gonna vote...APOSTROPHE!

Don't leave out the poster as part of the Exhibits (although it's only a modified version of the box art)!

Not to mention the box bottom flap....

 :-k :-k :-k

My vote is for the '

All is well. :)

They moved the "TM" if you look close at poster vs. manual.
What the hell was going on over there?  Did they have different teams for EVERYTHING?

A half-assed exhibit: track 7 of the Camp California soundtrack is titled Yo Lil' Bro.

But I'm still sticking with Yo'.  The apostrophe from Ys needs a home.

  I hate to stir the pot, but I'm voting "Yo, Bro."  That silly mark is a comma that got a sip of the Fizzy Lifting Drink.
  The designers are the final word in my book.  On the title screen, it's obviously "Yo, Bro."  Though it's a stupid name, the comma's not incorrect.  "Yo apostrophe" means nothing.  True, "Yo' Bro" does appear in more places, but it was likely some marketing goob that misread the mark, transcribed Yo apostrophe Bro and f*cked it all up.

  True story: there's a Depeche Mode b-side named Stjarna (Swedish word for star I think?) which was known by fans forever as St. Jarna.  Many years after the fact, it became known that as the single (Little 15) was going into production, someone at the record company misread the word and put down St. Jarna as the name.  All the singles were pressed that way, and even when they re-released them years later they still read "St. Jarna."  Most true fans like myself know it now as it was originally intended by the songwriter: Stjarna.

  Moral of the story: Yo, bro, like it or not it's "Yo, Bro."

Therefore, the correct way to say it is "Yo, Bro," as in: "Yo, bro, pass me the controller; it is my turn to play in this two-player game of Yo, Bro."

Title screen is the final word. The people who actually made the game must know better what it's called, rather than the marketing suits and pedantic designers that did the advertising/packaging.

  Perhaps the idiocy that was known as Yo! Noid added to the confusion?  They included an exclamation point mid-title!  That's just chaos.

  Something else I was pondering: what if they tried to put out Yo, Bro now?  Would it be called Sup, Brah?

FYI, I spent over an hour with YO BRO last night and I couldn't beat the dinosaurs.
BUT...I enjoyed it somewhat.  :-k

HAHAHA!  

I missed this topic the first time around...hilarious.

OFFICIAL: Most folks are, sadly, wrong. It is Yo, Bro.

I'm glad to issue the final word on the matter.

BONUS: I am record asserting that the original working title for this project was Yo, Bro!, but it was deemed to exclamatory by NEC, so they toned it down to a more palatable Yo, Bro.

Esty, I have decide since this poll that we should just update the name:

from now on we shall refer to the game in this forum as:

               Yea, Brah!
