What Nintendo should do is re-release all of their consoles like this:

On the topic of GC controllers.... I know I've had my share of grievences with the short cable. I was playing Smash; we were doing a 99 stock battle that lasted hours; it had come down to just the 2 of us, him with 3 stock, me with 1..... I PWND HIS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I got up from my seat, controller clenched in hand, I realized I had just pulled my Wii off of my display case..... The sound of the Wii hitting the concrete floor beneath it.... I was devastated.... I saw it fall in slow-motion.... As I looked up, I saw that the game was still running... the Wii lay on the floor, upside down, still running the game. Amazing.

I was looking for the video were X-Play puts the consoles to the test, by smashing them in a series of 3 tests. Needless to say, the GC survived being hit with a sledge hammer AND a 1 story fall. Nintendo knows how to build consoles.


Great thing about most cube and Wii games is that they don't stream data constantly from the disc... they load their scenes very quickly (thanks to the fast ram and speedy drive) and then run everything directly from ram (slowing the disc speed down in the process) so as long as your not reading anything from disc... you can pick up your cube or Wii, shake it for a little while... put it down... and all is fine.

On another note...  I went looking for an official Gamecube 1019 mem card for my Gamecube (since my Wii has my other card) and I had a heck of a time finding one...  what gives?  Is all the cube stuff drying up now?



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
