but I think they consider their products more disposable than we do...
With work being very expensive nowadays and mass-produced products not… this is suggesting itself.
However, Nintendo did actively repair Wii consoles and not only send a replacement unit. They also had a price list for various defects on (3)DS consoles (screen, motherboard, charge port…)

Especially spontaneous software errors or update failures with perfectly intact hardware scream for an easy method of reflashing the NAND to default. It takes 2 minutes of work to start, 15 minutes of waiting and then 2 minutes work again (testing). That is cheaper (warranty cases) and easy money (out of warranty repair).

Looking at the passion they seem to have fighting against homebrew (and I mean NOT fghting piracy – just "unauthorized software" as they call it), Nintendo went as far as producing software just for searching traces of homebrew:

On a side note: They were skating on very thin ice charging ridiculous repair prices for finding a "software hack"

Savemiifrii may work if you have a Wii with GC ports and a GC controller. You'd also need a game disc with a newer system menu of the proper region on it so it can run an update from it.

    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
