Lynk Former Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 If you haven't already heard the news of this new from Nintendo that allows you to play all Game Boy games, from the first to the Advance games on the Nintendo GameCube then go here: http://cube.ign.com/articles/377/377794p1.html So what are your thoughts on this... "Game Boy Player"? Personally I think I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I do take my Advance out places but it's crap wasting good batteries playing a GB at home. I know there's a power adapter and everything... but I like the idea of having it up on the big screen. I'd love to play Metroid Fusion like it were Super Metroid.
Boba Rhett Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 I'm indifferent on the matter. I had the one that worked with the snes and playing GBA games on a big screen does excite me to some extent but I still like my GBA games portable. I'll most likely end up buying it sometime though...
mercatfat Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 You can't go wrong for only $40. Get one of those portable GC screens and you're jetset.
mswanmmiv Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 if you had the portable screen ... why not just carry the gba?!
darthfergie Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 Only $40...hmmm. Pretty good deal. Won't waste your batteries. If I had a GC I'd deffinatly pick up one of these because I can garentee you (and I do mean garentee) that alot of GC games will have little special things that can only be attained by buying the GBA game. (ie- if Metroid Prime had a special map that could be unlocked by hooking in your GBA Metroid game). EA is doing it with their sports titles with certain players in Madden 2003 only available if you have a profile from NACAR 2003 and NCAA 2003. (Had to rent NASCAR and a friend has Madden 2003 since I had NCAA 2003 we got the extras that way)
mercatfat Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 Not a special map, the entire Metroid for the NES. However, I don't think you'll be able to do anything like that with the device. Things like the Animal Crossing GBA island wouldn't work, so I assume all things that use a GBA/GC connection will require a real GBA and connector cable.
Lynk Former Posted November 24, 2002 Author Posted November 24, 2002 The GB Player requires a boot up disk to be put in the cube, so no. the gba/gcn connected games will have to resort to doing it the normal way...
mswanmmiv Posted November 25, 2002 Posted November 25, 2002 Who cares if it requires a disc. If your playing a gba game it's not like you'll want to have a gc game on at the same time. Either I'm confused or what you are saying makes no sense. \Edit: Yup, I'm confused. I see what you meant now.

What a waste! Pathetic! As Luke said... "WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK!" -
mercatfat Posted November 26, 2002 Posted November 26, 2002 Dude, it's not going to be that popular. It'll always just be a gimmicky kind of thing and completely optional. Besides, playing GBA games on a full TV screen? It's like the SNES all over again. You know, since it is.
Lynk Former Posted November 26, 2002 Author Posted November 26, 2002 still there's no denying that i'll be gettin one... i dun care if it needs a boot disk to run... it's still a good way to see things a lil bigger and not waste so many batteries
