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.

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.

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.
