ever lost a game with so much data on it?

My Wii broke about 2 weeks ago. I sent it out to Nintendo to get it fixed, but they emailed back a few days later saying that they were unable to repair it. So basically the save data for all 91 of my Wii games is gone. I'm trying not to dwell on it too much, but it was really hard getting that news. :/

Some modification on my 3DS made me lose my FF:Explorers and Kirby TD saves ToT

Also, around April 2015 my ORAS save got deleted </3

AC:WW. I was very young and I lent the game for a few days to my best friend. She lost it :/

I didn't lose it, but my original copy of cooking mama broke (the cartridge split in half), and I couldn't use it anymore. I had all the recipes unlocked, I had earned gold medals on all of them and I had all of the challenges completed. It was suuuper disappointing.

Oh, I have a LOT of games that I've lost.

First was a few WiiU games: Splatoon Mario Kart 8, Mari Party 10, AC City Folk, Pokken Tournament (we got that one on the day it came out), and a couple other games I can't remember. Thankfully my mom bought me Splatoon again from the E-Shop as a late birthday gift, and the only game we had left before that was Xenoblade. Then I lost the cartridge to my LOZ:OOT game for my 3DS, but I think it's it's in the same category as the other ones.

Basically, awhile ago my 'friend' decided to take all our games without us knowing so she could buy drugs. When we found out it was too late, and we can't even get the games back because my mom says that the store might think we'd be lying about losing the games. Plus we're poor again, all thanks to my 'friend' stealing ALL my money which we used to pay off bills and such. Then she tried to steal my mom's jewelry, but we caught her and found the jewelry in her bag which she hid in my room. Not to mention she hid drugs in our house as well, and I got a restraining order out on her because she tried to get into our house multiple times. This all happened during summer, and now my 'friend' is in jail because other people have a case against her as well....I'd say she royally fudged up when she decided to steal from me.

Still glad she never touched my 3DS or my games, but that's because I had those things with me all the time. Now the only time I don't have all my 3DS stuff with me is when I take a shower...I always say I can't be too careful, plus I'm a very paranoid kind of person with that kind of stuff. And my mom and bro still have their games too, and I'm glad I let my bro hold onto my Alice Madness Returns game or that would be gone too.

Then there was one incident when I was a kid. I had Emerald, and it was completely my game so my brother was told to never touch it without my permission. But one day. my brother decided to just trade the game to one of his friends for some stupid thing that I can't even remember what it was anymore. I remember that day...I was so angry, I started flying punches at him and he threw a dinosaur toy at me which sliced open my right elbow. Still have the scar to prove it, but it's really faded away now. I never let him live it down to this day, even after he forgot he did that. Guess this is why I get the Pokemon game he always wants, while he instead gets the other version. kekeke~

Oh, and then there was the time that I had Wild World...that game ended up falling down a heating duct in one of our old houses, and I was so upset over it that I even tried to stick my hand in the thing to hopefully pull the game out. But it was winter, and my mom stopped me before I did that because I would've basically cooked my arm.

I would've done the same. That lady needs to get off her high horse and treating her son like a special snowflake, it's actually quite sad that they have to grow up that way. And good on you for getting your stuff back~!

Yeah, in a way I feel bad for that kid, because when he grows up he's gonna have a hard slap of reality that his parents won't be able to get him out off. And I remember one of my class mates talking about how his girlfriend sold his PS2 and a bunch of games for drugs too. He ended up breaking up with her for it after getting her arrested for theft.

All my games when I was younger were all bootleg so they were all bound to lose data at some point. Because of this, I lost countless hours of Pokemon playtime. Recently, I almost lost my legit copy of Pokemon Black which I used as my main game for the fifth Generation. I had so many Events and Shinies I RNGed in that game. Glad to find out that it only fell in a tight spot between my bed and a desk.

 

[~TOAST~]

I have a history with losing games but none of them had a lot of progress on them. I'd say the game with the most data I lost is Super Mario 64 on DS, I had all of the stars.
