Mario Chat / Nintendo Horror Stories
« on: October 12, 2001, 03:47:24 PM »
Reply to this topic and tell me any horror stories that you may have experienced with any Nintendo systems. (being broken, bleed-ins, it exploding for no apparent reason, etc.) Here's mine:
-----------------------------
Yesterday (10/11/01), I was home alone watching my brother. I was in the bathroom doing my business, when he came running in (don't worry, I was done) and screaming and crying and everything. "Nick! Nick! Help! I broke it! Aaaaahhh!" He was referring to his Game Boy Advance. I grabbed it and it looked like a hole was torn in it! A big black starburst was over the game (Mario Advance ;]) I handed the game back to him and calmly said, "Kris, turn the game off." Kris yelled back, "It IS off!" "Errr...now we have a problem." I said. Just then our parents got home, and the doorknob turned... and...
AAAAHHHHH!
Nah, just fooling with ya. My mom took it pretty well. She called Nintendo and she told them what happened. At that time, the cloudburst had gotten bigger, and today it covers the whole screen. The man on the line said that a "bleed-in" occured. That's when the liquid crystals bleed through the LCD screen and mess up the system. The game was probaly stepped on, and it damaged the sender of the crystals. My brother was just playing the game and it happened, though. The crystals only bleed through when the game heats up. Well, we took it to be repaired. OK, here's the scary part...
