I turned on the GCN and held down the "A" button to go to the Main GCN Screen. I went to "Memory Card" to have a look at what the picture looked like. TO my surprise the Memory Card had erased all my previous saved games except for Sonic Mega Collection and my last save of Vexx.
ALong with that went my completed SSX Tricky, 93% Starfox Adventures, Nilly completed SUper Mario Sunshine, I only had the last challenge to do on Super Smash Brother Melee! My completed Burnout, my completed Rogue Leader 2, and last but not least, my completed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.
Now, that is really annoying. Now I know how Nintendo gets there reply value, lol. I think the Card was nilly full anyway. SO it might of erased the games I hadden't played for awhile.
Stupid thing, has anyone else had this problem?

GameCube ones are reliable... uless you have power outage during save/load, or you pull out the card or turn the console off with save/load

It also has to do with your memory card's age.... after a while it will degrade..... heck, back in the Super nintendo days (Yeah, that's right, i still play it) My Super Mario World will sometimes be wiped clean, if it is removed in an odd way. I found out that even if you turn the console off, if you pull the card (Or in my case wih Super Mario World) in some odd angle or put it in not all the way and power it up, it can cause a surge (Very small one) that has the potintial of wiping your information, except all that is hardwired into the device. (ie: Electrical Surge and Memory Section of a Device = Magnet and a Video Tape)
Even though the Gamecube is shut off, it is still plugged into the wall and therefore still has power. Just be careful how you pull it out or what you put near your console. (No Magnets, or Radioactive Monkeys)

QuoteStrewth, not struth. I guess that shows how uncommon this slang really is, when people who are supposed to use it can't spell it.
