[quote="Gouf_Custom";p="511735"]That's another thing you have to give Nintendo, again. Nigh-indestructible. Two of my Gamecube controllers have gone through a car crash that totalled the car, and destroyed many things in it, and they have nary a scratch![/quote]

My GBA SP got run over by my neighbor's car, and you can hardly tell. Still plays just fine.

I now wish to have great deals of money, just to test out what it takes to damage Nintendo hardware.

Man, you guys make me want to go do something reckless with my games, what with all your stories about how amazing Nintendo's hardware is.

I won't, though. I'm not that brave.

I had this weird dream last night, involving amid other things, the controller for the Revolution being something where you control games via mastication. :shock:

And I'm still like "wtf, mates?"
"He who lives by the sword dies by my arrow."

"In your histories, there are continual justifications for all manner of hellish actions. Claims of nobility and heritage and honor to cover up every bit of genocide, assassination, and massacre. At least the Horde is honest in their naked lust for power."

Actually, Nintendo did release a controller (for the NES, I believe) with which the player controlled the movements using his or her mouth. It was designed for those who had lost their limbs.

Yup. If I recall correctly, you would position your chin in a little harness and move it forward, back, left, and right in place of the directional pad. Blowing air through your nose would activate the A button, and breathing your mouth would activate the B button (or maybe vice versa). Designed for paralyzed/disabled children, I believe. Check eBay.
