"Cartridge batteries die all the time."

You can still play the game though, you just can't save.

And you can also open up the cartridge and replace the battery yourself.

Isn't that potentially damaging to the game? I have some games that have a dead batter and I'm scared to do anything

It can if you don't know what you're doing. But it's pretty safe. http://www.racketboy.com/retro/2006/11/how-to-change-snes-game-save-battery.html

why the hell would you drop your cartridge into a toilet? And no taking apart your already not working game will not shock you! Its like you think these systems run off of magic!

Maybe the cartridge is ****?

Will anyone even be playing NES games 30 years from now? The way I see it, the world itself might not even survive that long, and if the world does survive that long, chances are we'll have holodecks and all those fancy star trek simulations to eat up our time. Would anyone care about NES games from a dead VC system when they could be running simulations of Beverly Crusher and Deanna Troi? I think not.

I do hope, though, that Nintendo will upgrade Super Mario Bros. for re-relase on their holodeck system's download service. Just be sure you keep the safety protocols enabled so you don't get eaten for real by those Goombas!

Science is a lot longer than 30 years away from being able to do holodecks.

I dunno, man. 30 years ago was 1978, and we've come a LONG way since then video game wise. Back then the games of the day were Space Invaders and Pac-Man, and now we got motion control and graphics that are getting harder and harder to distinguish from real life.

Someone playing Space Invaders back in 1978 probably couldn't imagine that there would one day be games like what we have now. So just think where we will be in another 30 years. I think if you're around then and you look back you'll be amazed how far the world has come (assuming we humans don't destroy the world before then).

I have no doubt that there will be things in 30 years that I can't even imagine, but I can imagine a holodeck, and I know that the odds of science figuring out ways to do all the things you'd need to be able to do to have something anywhere close to what was presented in Star Trek are ridiculously high.
