When Nintendo made their newest system, the Wii, many gamers were skeptical about the Wii’s success due to their previous system, the GameCube, failing to appeal to most mature and adult gamers. But the Nintendo Wii system proved to have the innovation needed to propel it forward to the best selling system currently on the market. The Wii’s innovation is in the motion sensitive control pad, which can act as a sword for slashing, a fishing reel, or a bowling ball depending on the game. The player gains a heightened feel of immersion as their actions with the controller are reflected on the screen.

The sense of touch and control the Wii allows the player is unprecedented, and has proved to be a new industry standard for future gaming. The Wii also has several game titles geared towards mature and adult players, the aspect that the GameCube lacked. Although there aren’t widespread Wii breakdowns, they will happen due to the advanced technology. There is no need to panic, however, as several sites offer professional Nintendo Wii console repair.

Repairing a Nintendo Gamecube

While a hardier console in comparison to the Xbox and PlayStation 2, the Gamecube still had a few known issues and it’s not uncommon for a model to break down after extended use. There are several common ailments with CD based game consoles, the most common being the CD lens wearing down over time. If the console is three or four years old and has seen extended use, a worn out lens could be the cause. One simple solution for this is to turn the console on its side or on its front (depending on how it was most often used before). For example, with a Gamecube that normally sits upright, turn it on its side (be mindful it’s not the side with the cooling fan). This causes the laser from the console to read the disc through a different angle of the lens, and can often be a temporary fix for disc read problems.

However, in the long term it’s most efficient to get the Gamecube fixed through a professional repair service. Gamecube console repairs aren’t all that expensive, and by replacing the lens, the console will last for another several years with proper care.
