Broke out the gamecube this weekend to play through Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess since I never played it and managed to borrow it from a friend. Then found out that between last month's playthrough of Baten Kaitos and now, the Gamecube has stopped working.

Power comes on, but no menu, and the disc doesn't spin in there. Time to A: check ebay for GCs under $30 and B: get some tools and take this 'Cube apart and see if I can find anything useful.

EDIT: On a side note, I wish all my problems were this small.

Nintendo still repairs Gamecubes. It's going to be more than $30, but you get a warranty with it. Also, the Wii plays Gamecube games.

Good points. I'll have to see what else I can scrape up.

True--I've never owned a Gamecube, but I'm halfway through Twilight Princess on the Gamecube version, played on the Wii.







...Because Link's left-handed, alright?

Indeed. It just wouldn't feel right to play Link right-handed.
