GameCube Game Boy Player

The most successful video game system in history is finally
ready for its debut on the big screen. Nintendo of America
will introduce the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Player in
2003, allowing a library of more than 1,000 games designed
for the original Game Boy, Game Boy Color and the current
Game Boy Advance to be displayed on home televisions through
the Nintendo GameCube console.
The Game Boy Player, a one-inch platform connecting to the
bottom of the Nintendo GameCube, will match the Nintendo
GameCube footprint and allow players to use either their
console controller or Game Boy Advance to direct action on
screen.

The Game Boy Player accommodates several novel forms of game
play. With the Game Boy or Game Boy Advance game cartridge
inserted in the Game Boy Player, a regular Nintendo GameCube
controller or WaveBird wireless controller can direct the
action. Or, using the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance
link cable (sold separately), the Game Boy Advance becomes
the controller. The Game Boy Player also supports
multiplayer action via Game Boy Advance Link Cables. Player
one sees the action on the TV screen while other players
view the screens on their linked Game Boy Advance systems.

It comes out sometime in june. I'm sure I'll end up buying
one. I'm slowly becoming a Nintendo completist.

The PS2 is getting renovated... IR reciever *on* the console
w/new remote that lets you turn the console on and off and
eject the disc. Better DVD player, and 30% quieter cooling.
WHY didn't they think of these things before??? Money?

gimmick.

besides...they're no fun as soon as they're on a television
screen. bein' able to tote 'em around and pull 'em out and
play wherever is half the appeal.

It better not make them look like shit or I'm not buying
one. Full screen and no resolution issues. The sound
better be top notch too.. No more tin can orchestra.

NES for half the price :p

SNES. And the GBA is more powerful. I don't think it's a
gimmick.. A lot of people want to buy one but they can't
justify forking over $100 for a 2x2 inch screen they're
never going to take out of their bedrooms. $50 to be able
to play it on your television set is a much more enticing
offer.

Yeah but will it be possible to do those linked bonus stuff
like on Zelda or Metroid Prime?
