Still Waters Posted January 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 2, 2016 A gamer in Japan named Wanikun has left his Super Nintendo in a powered-on state for 20 years so that he wouldn't lose his save data. Now that's dedication. This means his console has racked up over 175,000 hours of continuous usage, and is still 'plugging along' somewhere in Japan right now. By now one might hope that he would be able to beat the game blindfolded, but perhaps its being kept around by pure nostalgia rather than active use. http://gamerant.com/...n-for-20-years/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EEHC Posted January 4, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Don't they have blackouts in Japan? This article states that it was shut down on rare emergency situations and that he unplugged it at one point but without loosing his saving.

BruiserBrody Posted June 22, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I thought you were suppose to shut it off every 2-3 hrs. Nintendo lied! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbyssWalker Posted June 23, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Back in the days when internet wasn't a common thing, I'd hear about crazy ways to unlock secret characters, like "Don't move for 6 hours after beating the final boss until he gets sick of you and gives you all pokemon", and I'd actually give them a try. I admire this guy's dedication. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, but it's Japan, electronics capital of the world, they also have uninterrupted battery backups, one would assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
