I heard about this a few days ago... guess you don't go to the major gaming sites too often.
It really stinks when you lose game saves.
And I've definitely lost savedata before. Only had a card totally wiped once, though... and I only owned one N64 game at the time that used it. But this summer I did have an issue with one of my N64 memcards and lost six or seven of the 16 slots... fortunately only one was a game's only savefile (as opposed to EB64 tracks, Gauntlet characters, etc), and Goemon's Great Adventure was good enough that it was only mildly annoying to have to replay it.
But I definitely worry about my N64 memcards, especially the third party one. Since I don't have a dexdrive I can't back them up and it'd be an incalculable loss if I lost my Rush 2049 savefile, which is stupidly saved on that card... and you can't move or copy the files in the N64...
Cube I haven't had any issues. GB I had one once -- Mole Mania was in my GB and the GB fell and for some reason it wiped the cart. No idea why...
PC of course this stuff happens. I know I lost my Rogue Squadron 3D save (after beating all the normal missions but before getting medals on all the levels so I didn't unlock any secret levels)... most of the ones that get lost you don't care about by the time you lose them (you know, SimCity cities, Klik & Play games, etc), but that one did annoy me. I never replayed that game...
