Inside The Nintendo GameCube

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the probing-luigis-innards dept.

Mortin writes "Icrontic.com has ripped apart a Nintendo GameCube. They document the entire procedure with a myriad of pictures. It's neat to see how clearly the Xbox and GameCube differ in respect to physical hardware." Luigi's mansion looks cool. The Star Wars game wasn't very fun. But the cube is so tiny, it's cute!

    Taco, do you frequently rip open things that you find cute? Remind me never to let you near my dog.

    slashdotted, time to fire up my little prog that will request the page as many times as possible (given my limited bandwidth) till I get the page. If more people do this, then slashdot will be a true DDOS tool.

    As a self-confessed hardware disassembler how can you not have a magnetic screwdriver and full set of hex bits ?

    You start off with at least 8 sizes of flat-head, then 8 sizes of each of pozidrive and phillips, and that's your *basic* set...

    Then you add in 8 sizes each of every "security" type you can get your hands on, starting on the ultra-common "TX", moving on to things like the tri-wing, and on to the *really* obscure stuff.

    Now you can dismantle everything in sight: No games console, PVR, computer or bus shelter will be safe when you are around!

    hmmm.... I am reminded of netscape... hell it had at least a 2/1 ratio... what browser are you using now?

    That line would have worked on any site's forum EXCEPT Slashdot. What were you thinking?!

    I'd have to agree with you there. We got a GC w/ rogue leader at the office to review. Wow. I ran right out to the local Target and picked up a GC and SWRL 15 minutes after seeing it.

    SWRL has lived up to every expectation I had. Buy a copy if you can - but by all means, play it

    Luigi's Mansion is a fun game with neat game play, too. Although I don't think it will have much replay value.

    It wasn't fun? *sigh* Note to self: CmdrTaco != Good Game Reviews! ;-)
