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...

IT COST US 50 BUCKS!

one time in super mario brothers, i jumped on one of those springs and i never came down, so i turned off the game, and i heard the sounds of the television but still saw the super mario brothers screen. i never came down, and i had to turn my tv off to get it to come off. it was on every channel

It's not a matter of optimism or pessimism, it's a matter of common sense! (half empty or half full?)

Mine would have to be a few months after I got my original NES, and my dad was looking around for NES games and one day brought home... DINO RIKI! (screams)

...well hey, it should count as a horror story. Dino Riki was one heck of a pathetic game.

Okay, I see a commercial for "Super Mario World 2," then a little later it's like the game never existed. When I get a Super Nintendo I try to rent it, but nobody's heard of it. I finally find "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island" at Best Buy for an insane price. I figure it's worth it to get a continuation of "Super Mario World," so I buy it.

I get home and pop it into the system, expecting something close to "Super Mario World" and there's this fruity scenery and a bunch of cartoon dinosaurs that look like they were drawn by a 4 year old and awful music. When the dumb setup is over I'm not even playing Mario, no, I'm a goofy-looking Yoshi with a BABY Mario in the worst world Nintendo programming has ever devised. And it doesn't get any better.

THAT is a Nintendo horror story, the horrendous disappointment of "Yoshi's Island."

This isn't Mario related, and heck, it didn't even happen to me. But it did happen on my N64. One of my roommates was playing Majora's Mask. She had almost beaten the final temple when all of the sudden...
My Nintendo froze.
No amount of button pushing could unfreeze it, either.
And she hadn't saved the game since before the last temple! Oops.
