NES was pretty infamous in its day for the tricks you had to learn to get it to work.

Yeah, you had to blow your NES as well as the game cartridges to get them working.

Won't you be so nice as to hammer that idea into everyone's head on the forum? Thanks.

I believe consumer rights state that I don't have to be hammered in the head if I don't want to.

But the corps that sell hammers lobby for your rights to be voided and your head will soon be hammered.

They would also like to impose a hammer tax to your monthly internet bill for $10 to pay for the hammer artists because hammer sales have long been suffered billions in lost sales due to piracy.

Won't work now, systems hardly break down.

Thats a joke right? I could be wrong but I believe hardware failures have only increased with every gen.

THIS IS NOT A RUMOR... It's one person. making that out of nothing...

1. The wii has a "log" fil to... nothing to do whit piracy

2. It will be against the law of europe.. And in the us to i think

3. Flashcard are not iligal

AND THE CODEWORD IS... NINTENDO DON'T BREAK THE LAW.. IF THEY DID, THEY WILL GET A IMPORT BAN IN EUROPE TO (LIKE PS3) SO THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN..

It's a fake, constuctet by a guy who hates nintendo.. pretty simple.. i can make a ps3 rumor tread to, And a news whore on other side, then link to it... IT DOSENT MAKE IT TRUE.. Small boys.. think for your self..

I disagree. The Wii seems to be less reliable than most of its predecessors, which is not surprising considering how much more they crammed into it.

As an aside, NES hardware was actually extremely solid: the tricks people refer to (such as blowing in them(!)) are generally useless, and often even detrimental. The reason so many games locked up was because the lockout chip in the game cartridge failed to make complete contact with its counterpart in the system, a problem which almost always was on the cartridge end.
