A couple nights ago I started getting an error in my Gamecube memory card while playing this game. I was playing this on my Wii and it turns out that slot A was on the fritz. So every time I had to save or load a game, I had to get up, walk over to the Wii, and fiddle with the memory card in the slot until the connections were properly made and the game recognized the card. Slot B was fine, but unfortunately BG&E only accepts data in slot A.
After about an hour of playing tonight, I got to a save point and the card just wouldn't read, wouldn't read, wouldn't read. So I reset the console and I got it to read - but my save file was gone. Erased. Kablooey. Four hours of work gone.
So twice in a row I am met with failure and this is one that I think I'm going to have to give away. Maybe I'll pick it up again on PS2 or XBOX once this journey is over. So I offer it to you the community. Who would like my copy of Beyond Good & Evil for Gamecube? It's really good.
Even though I wasn't able to finish it, I am going to write a review based on what I've played - I really enjoyed it and the world deserves to know how good the first four hours of this game are.
Bummer on the card failure, reminds me of going back to my Metroid Fusion GBA cart only to find the battery had long since died... I've come across a handful of GCN games that only use slot A on the Wii, forunately I've not lost any saves or frtized out a memory card- yet. Hopefully you're able to transfer any remaining save data to a new card soon. In the meantime, if you're truly looking to pass this one on, I'd be happy to take a stab at it, game sounds great and I'd love to help you with your gaming quest.

Hey man, sorry it took so long to reply. I actually decided to hang onto it for a while. I may have found another way of playing it. Sorry brother...
ReplyDeleteHey, no worries! Look forward to hearing how a full playthrough turns out. I really hadn't heard much of anything about the game, but after your review and some browsing of the internets this one moved high on my list of "acquire to play (someday)".
