I’m not a Nintendo console owner currently, but our GameCube broke when I was younger and my dad called Nintendo support when it was several years out of warranty. They replaced it free of charge, they basically ensured I’d continue being a gamer growing up, and it’s just amazing to think that a company was that willing to help its customers out. I’ll honestly never forget that. Thought I’d share a cool little story from my childhood.

Nintendo is really good with things like that. I remember breaking the Nintendo Labo VR Blaster (that's a mouthful), I called support, and they just shipped a replacement. Free of charge.

[@booleanmaster]

I have another story. Growing up my parents couldn't afford to buy me the latest video game console, but we did have an old NES, which broke so we mailed it to Nintendo. They weren't able to fix it but they asked if we wanted to buy a refurbished GameCube and 2 video games for 45 bucks, so that we weren't left completely empty handed.

It really made the ideas make sense in practical use. Being tethered to the TV made it a weird hybrid, while being able to dock the unit for a larger screen is far more useful. Nintendo has another cycle of this platform ahead with even better optimization if they don't screw it up. That gives them another 6+ years to come up with the next new great idea. They may not have it, but the IP alone is worth sticking around. Nintendo going the way of Sega would be heart breaking. Their games are only possible on their own innovative hardware. Glad to see they will be able to continue to deliver those games properly because of how well the Switch has done. Having kids has brought me back to Nintendo in a big way.

Also one of the main reasons the PS2 was such a success compared to the GameCube was that it was marketed as a dvd player which were very new and expensive at the time.

Also it was weaker in raw power than the competition... but not thaaaaat weak, not like Wii vs PS3 and Xbox 360 level, but somewhat weaker than the Game cube and Xbox. This allowed the PS2 to be way cheaper (mainly in developing countries) while still sharing games with the competitors. The Xbox was the most powerfull, thus the most expensive, people would not choose it over the cheaper ones, the game cube and the PS2. The game cube was the one in the middle term in terms of power and price, but the mini DVDs made it harder to pirate gamnes... the PS2 was the cheaper one AND used regular DVDs, so pirating was very very easy... the console itself was cheaper and the games were almost for free in developing countries (piracy) making it the really only possible option for the average joe in huge developing countries like Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and etc.

The reason why the N64 had such a weird controller and a trigger on the middle handle was because they wanted you to be able to choose between using a D-pad, (By holding it normally), or using the Analog Stick, (By holding the middle and right handle). Hope this helps you understand the weird N64 controller design.

[@shaun8062]

You know what's cool? You can actually play all of N64's best first person shooter games using the D-pad for strafing and movement while using your right hand in the middle for aiming and shooting, more similarly to how hand assignments are used in modern first person shooters like call of duty. Some early literature from nintendo even suggested using the d-pad for first person shooters. No one back then seemed to do it though, as they assumed the yellow c-buttons were the way, which was fine, but those buttons make it hard for anyone to go back to play goldeneye today. When I show them you can use the D-pad, kids pick it right up like any other dual controls on first person shooters (phone games, playstation, xbox etc.)

[@Scooper-xg3vs]

Yeah what he said you are supposed to hold in the middle handle with the joy stick it's how you control Mario in Super Mario 64 In other handle with the D-pad it's supposed to control other games that aren't using the joy stick so you where playing this controller like a modern Nintendo Pro controller, PS controller, and Xbox controller so pls don't play the controller like that.

[@SamuelWynne-ko9yu]

Oh

[@SamuelWynne-ko9yu]

Lol

[@tmclaughlin11]

This is true, but so many games controlled better via the analog stick than the D-pad that it really became a must to hold the middle and right-side handles by default. Nintendo did eventually realize this as the Gamecube controller was significantly better while still retaining a D-pad for when it would be the better option.

[@superduperman7202]

The Wii U was Nintendo's greatest moment. It's a shame not many people bothered to find out. Nintendo really screwed up their marketing and branding so people didn't bother as most people owned a Wii. The Mii-verse will forever be one of gaming's greatest forums. Having games link to the Mii-verse was an amazing addition. The games on the Wii U are most of the big games released on the Switch with the "Deluxe" tag added. Never forget that Breath of the Wild was made for the Wii U and held off for the Switch. Now with the ease of hacking the Wii U it has become the most useful console Nintendo ever made. It plays every game made from the start of Nintendo right up to the Wii U, plus some emulated ports from other consoles.

That doesn't mean that he bought/received his NES console around launch time. 😅

[@McCaroni_Sup]

Though he forgot to get into some of the other reasons why the PS1 and 2 outsold the N64 and Gamecube respectively. The PS1 used CD-ROM which not only held more data but is swappable meaning multi disc games are possible unlike Nintendo's cartridge based system, which while it loaded faster had exponentially less storage and was not swappable. Consider how some of the most popular games of the time were multi disc blockbuster games like those made by Square, Capcom, and Konami, and it becomes easy to see why the PS1 won that race. And that's not even mentioning its price point. Meanwhile the PS2 could play DVD at a cheaper price than actual DVD players while the Gamecube had proprietary discs. The PS2 also released at a time when gamers were growing up and it had more "edgy" games to appeal to that market meanwhile Nintendo were still all kid friendly. Oh how times have changed, now it's Sony censoring the hell out of eroge while Nintendo let's it run free on the eShop.

Lol the flex is impressive, unboxing each of these consoles nowadays is hard to do, let alone all in one room. I have each of them from their release dates minus the original NES. Also the d-pad was rarely used on the N64, it usually controlled camera functions. The Z-button and joystick were meant to be used more often with your left hand by grabbing the middle part of the controller. A little bizarre but something that became seamless after awhile. Fun tip: On the gamecube, next time you're booting up the console, hold down the indigo z button and the console will make a different start up sound.

[@NocturnosGaming]
