Playing on my Gamecube for any longer than 15 minutes makes me feel sick. I have played on tons of consoles in my life, ranging from an imported Atari 5400 to my loverly GC. Never once have I felt sick through playing games, but yesterday my GC finally arrived, I booted it up and was playing Luigi's Mansion and felt sick. I rested a bit, had some coffee, felt better. Played Waverace, felt sick again. Same with Rogue Sqaudron. I have just played Luigi's Mansion for a good hour, and am still feeling sick!
How annoying is this? Anyone else suffering this? It even happens if I change TVs!
Help! Someone!

might be a mild form of epilepsy, only caused now and not using other consoles because of the cube's nice 60fps =( see your doctor.

Make sure you take lots of breaks during games, the intstruction booklet recommends a regular break, maybe every 15 minutes and drink a lot of water, and make an appointment with your doctor :-)

I suggest you limit your videogaming, no matter which console you use, and make an appointment down at the doctors for advice.

It could be an epileptic reaction you are having to the games, and they can effect anyone at anytime whether there's history of epilepsy or not.

Maybe it's something to do with that 'Brand New Console Smell'!??
You know, like how you feel you're gunna throw up as soon as you get into a brand-new car and take-in a deep breath!

What about headaches, do you get them too??
Are you short-sighted?? I am and I find that if I don't wear glasses when playing a game I feel quite strange, and also cannot see what's going on very well!


Lets hope it's nothing serious, like an Allergic Reaction to GameCubes!! :O
Hope you find out what it is. :)

It's motion sickness. It can affect anyone at any time. I used to get it occasionally playing Wipeout on my PS1.

It can begin to show itself, or get worse, if you are tired,ill or generally run down.

I'd advise you to see your doctor.
