@KingMike That's never happened to me at all. I've bought many GameCube games from import sites in the GC days and have their saves on standard, official memory cards which are mixed with PAL game saves.
There's no reason why save data would be region locked when its encoded into the discs - that would have caused too much of a headache for devs to implement back then.
I can't answer this - some days I say N64 and some days I say GameCube. I feel that they're on par with each other for the experiences they introduced and genres they defined.
So yeah, both tremendously fun consoles and that's my answer.
I still have my copy of this which I break out every now and then to flick through. Its the only one I ever got as I had to badger my parents to buy me it and they wouldn't spring for any others after that, I'm not even sure there were any further issues afterwards come to think of it.
I have never once thought of it as a toilet roll, although I have heard the rumour quite a few times before, and from the first time I looked at it I only ever saw a R too.
I could be very interested in something like this depending on how it functions once released into the wild. I have several games that I'm dreading losing the battery save for once it dies.
