Dropped My Wii while playing a gamecube game ... it was SSBM .. thing was it was still running after dropping. The only thing that happened was the side of the Wii got a big scratch. But after that, that Wii overheated so i got a new one.
My Nintendo 64's 1st player socket just stopped working one day, my Gamecube has a problems with the sound (it makes crackling noises) it's been like that since the day I bought it, never got it fixed, my SNES lasted all the way up till I bought my Gamecube. I let my little cousins borrow it and they destroyed it. :( Everything else has been working just fine and has never been damaged. My old NES still works..don't play it anymore though.
Gamecube's durability is awesome! Wii's, not so much. My GC fell off the TV afer I yanked the controller too hard. It was fine. Luckily, I don't have to worry about that with the Wii
-SNES was left in my car for 4 months through gone through weather as cold as 10 degrees and all the driving it went through -took it out of car and worked perfectly
I must have dropped my GBA and GBC down the stairs while playing about 7 times. :oops: They both still work fine. My GC I dropped 3 time and it doesn't even have a scratch. I am much more careful with my DSL which I only dropped 3 feet once and it was fine.
EDIT: But to make up for that lol, my Gamecube dropped a couple times (no damage) my N64 still works fine, and my SNES worked while I had it.

How'd you know!? Same here, well the power surge thing. Power went out, Wii turned off. Power came back on, Wii won't. I've had two Gamecubes because my first one overheated. My little brother left my first Gameboy Color at Stone Mountain in Georgia if that counts for anything. My second GBC went through the wash and worked fine after it dried out.
I dropped my GBC a few times. The only problem it had was that the clip on the battery cover broke off and that was because I was screwing around with it.
I own a working NES, with games that still work without a hitch. I dropped my SP in a parking lot once, nothing happend, and it was a hard drop lol22Toothpicks
Surely you have to blow into them once or twice.
Does anyone know of a GameCube that has EVER broken? I don't.
My original game boy just suddenly stopped showing images on it screen, and my N64 just suddenly stopped working. BTW this all happened a few years ago, both for no reason
I knocked my Wii over shambling, half asleep, to turn off my alarm clock. It fell and crashed into my cable modem on the floor, coming to rest in a pitiful-looking heap off its stand with the little doors awkwardly askew. As you can imagine, a healthy stream of obscenities flowed forth because I thought I "broke my Wii!":cry: I picked it up, reattached everything, then turned it on and...ZOMG, it worked!:D I even started up and a game...and that worked, too! In fact, it still works as well as the day I got it! I managed to wipe the black impact marks off and only have a few little scratches on one edge.

Poor little guy :(Â
I never understood how people could knock over thier consoles from thier shelves....:P
the Wii is certainly not as shock proof as the invincible GC was, but it still holds up. My brother's very large dog got a hold of my Wii. It still works, but it's kinda chewed up now. :(
I want Nintendo to take care of this right away. Just based on the fact that I support them and buy nothing else. The wiiconnect overheats and destroys your gpu when on "standby". The Wii displays random flashing green pixels on screen either during game play or at the menu. I reported the problem and just got my new system started mere seconds ago...works like a charm. I hope they address this issue sooner than later because like many I am proud of their commitment to "durable" products.
PS- I would't sound like such a deuch if I wasn't so drunk.Â
I dropped my GBC once, and the sound stopped working. However, the rest of my Nintendo products are incredibly durable, and my Wiimote has dented a wall and a coffee table (didn't go flying, just wasn't looking where I was swinging) without any damage to itself. Also, from what I've seen of online videos, the GC is incredibly durable.
When I was young, my brother and I got in a fight, so to make me even more mad than I already was, he picked up my SNES and threw it down on the ground as hard as he could. Miraculously my SNES still works to this day, so I get to still play my favorites games Super Metroid, Legend of Zelda: ALttP, Super Mario RPG, and Chrono Trigger.
Actual damages include: -Broken n64 joysticks -Broken R and L buttons on original ds -Pokemon silver's battery life for save games died on me (If it's off for 3 seconds, I lose all my saved data) -2 scratched gamecube disc, not sure quite how that hapened but if I do something wrong, my game now freezes. -Original NES died on me several years ago, replaced it with nes2. -Eating any food around my ds lite will make it look greesy and old

Try unplugging the Wii, then plugging it back in. It worked for me.
