Yeah, Nintendo is known for their durability. I still have a fully functional NES.

But, the GCN seems to be less so. Like 5 months after I got my GCN, It stopped reading disc. I couldnt play it forever. I had to send it in for repairs. Do you know what resulted in this? My friends PSO characters are 40 levels higher than me, thats what.

Also, my Mario Sunshine disc got scratched...I dont even know how, it just did. And it wont play anymore. I LOVE that game.

I've had my PS2 since last summer, and I havnt had a problem yet. But, I bought my PS2 kind of late...by then all of the problems had been fixed...I got my GCN really early, before any updates were performed onit. So I guess that makes sense.

I am glad to see that most people agree with me that Nintendo should go third party. I wrote this editorial over the summer, when I was sitting down one day and I just realized "This isnt nearly as fun as it used to be." I miss the good old days...even the N64. I remember the first day I got an N64. I remember the first day I played Mario 64. Wow. That was just....amazing. I dont think I'll ever feel that way about a game again.

Er, actually, I felt that way when I played OoT, too. And Pokemon Red. But those are the few games that have given me that "magical" feeling that the NES used to give me every time I powered it up.
