Customer Review: Not all I had hoped for
Summary: 1 Stars
I understand how wonderful this item is for connecting certain GBA games to certain Cube games, but why doesn't it allow you to play GBA games on the big screen? Remember the Super Gameboy? I guess that's what I was hoping for. Hopefully, Nintendo is developing a Gameboy Advance driver to allow this to happen, but why release this item with only limited functionality? Some of the GBA games are great, I just get tired of squinting at the tiny non-backlit screen. I'm ready for F-Zero or Super Circuit on the TV.Customer Review: The link that will bridge the console - handheld gap

This new GameCube-Game Boy Advance game link is the future of gaming. It will open up new worlds to gamers. Like previewing and choosing plays in secrecy on your GBA screen, or viewing the map of an RPG or adventure game your playing for GameCube, or even using the GBA as an extra GameCube controller. The possibilities are endless. And developers ARE noticing this. Already Sonic Adventure 2 Battle can use it for the Chao garden, and Animal Forest Plus (making it's way to North America later this year) uses the link as well. But other developers have hinted at there wanting to take advtange of it. Square said that they want to create a Final Fantasy game (yes, there back together) for GameCube and GBA that would use the link cable for something.The link it's self is very easy to use. Just plug the one end into a controller port on your GameCube, and plug the other end into the top of your GBA (the same place where the multiplayer link goes in). It has a lock on there so it fastens to your GBA so it can't accidently fall out, like in the early prototype. The transfer of data does take a little time, of course. But the wait isn't that bad. It usualy never last more then 15 seconds.
Unfortunately you will not be able to play GBA games online threw this cable, as it is not fast enough to transfer the data at a fast enough speed. It would require a much thicker, and expensive wire.
This is one accesory I highly suggest you buy if you own a GameCube and a Game Boy Advance...
Customer Review: Works Great...

This device works great, and is an excelent concept, the only problem is that not enough games are making use of it! Maybe now that Nintendo is allowing Square to make Final Fantasy games for Game Cube and GBA (according to Gamespot March 8, 2002) we'll see transportable Chocobo or something cool like that (hint hint... *wink* *wink* any Square developers that happen to run across this review).Customer Review: HELL YEAH!!!

this cable is the ultimate in gba technology, witha built in spam guard filter and a virus decantifour. It has IBM technology and is great with sonic adventure 2. Train your chaos on your gba, then later transfer it into your gamecube. The 9000 bit graphic this can add to your gba is marvellous. USA USA USA!!!Customer Review: Totally Amazing

Many months ago, my friend had a GameBoy Advance and I thought it was pretty dull. It was just another Gameboy handheld with nothing new. Then I realized. This small handheld had the same amount of bits as PS1!!! I never stopped to look at the graphics- which were amazing. He had F-Zero and Rampage Puzzle Attack, both great games, and I couldn't stop playing it when he let me borrow it. A few days later, I purchased one with F-Zero Maximum Velocity. I couldn't sleep knowing I had it. Every second I would be playing it. It was the best handheld I ever had (I have had GameBoy, GameBoy Color, Gamegear, and NeoGeo). I had tons of hours of fun with it.
2 months later I went to Circuit City and in the video game section they had three competing consoles- PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox. It was the first time i heard of Gamecube and Xbox and since most of my friends had PS2, I had decided to get one of the others. I took home a convenient mini-disc the same size as a Gamecube game disc and put it in my computer. It had previews of many games the Gamecube would be launching.
This started my research of which one i should buy. I heard different opinions about both and most liked Gamecube. Plus it was 100 bucks cheaper which really helped my decision. I myself have always been promoting Nintendo. I have Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, and what would be a great add to the collection would be the GameCube!!!
A few days after my decision, my friend told me that Gameboy Advance could hook up to Gamecube, which really surprised me. I thought that would be awesome. The second after Christmas I became a Gamecube fanatic. ... And the Gamecube games are excellent. I have done some research about what games that I would look foward to. Then i saw Kirby's Tilt and Tumble 2!! I downloaded a video about it and that great Shigeru guy was displaying how it worked. GBA was hooked up to the Gamecube and used as a controller to tilt Kriby around. This would be just like the Gameboy's classic but in a mixture of 128-bit and 32-bit graphics. Then I learned about the many games that would take advantage of this cable. Sonic was one of them. The first one I heard about was Animal Forest+, which is a sequel to the Japanese's N64 version. This looks like a great game.
When I saw a picture of this cable here, I was stunned. I thought: Now it's official. There is certainly gonna be all the great features Nintendo has promised before. The Wavebird controller. And the Internet connections. When I saw this I new i had to make a review. This cable is incredibly spectacular and a must-have if you have Gamecube and GBA. If I took the time to write this whole thing just for a 10 dollar cable that can do great things, you know it's good.
