4.0 out of 5 stars What it is....., November 18, 2001

Well, some games on GameCube will be able to use the Game Boy Advance as an extra controller and TV screen, but the game must be compatible in order to do it. This cable is the cable you need to hook-up the GBA to the GCN (GameCube).

Think about it. Arent you tired of your friends looking at all the pays you choose in a sports game, or trying to see which pitch you are going to throw in games like All Star Baseball? Well, with the new cable you can choose all of these things without your friends seeing what you chose. For 10 bucks, it is a great buy. Plus, you can you use your Game Boy Advance as a controller

5.0 out of 5 stars GBA to Game Cube "link cable" features and gameplay, February 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Cube Link Advanced (Video Game)

It's to my understanding that, as of this writing, there are only 2 games on the market that take advantage of the features available with the use of this cable: "Sonic Adventure 2: Battle" and "Animal Forest" (Japanese-only). But, that's just the beginning!

"Sonic Adventure 2: Battle":
If you've played Dreamcast's "Sonic Adventure" or "Sonic Adventure 2", then you're already enamoured with the beloved little critters called "Chaos" (pronounced "ch" as in "chocolate"). With Game Cube's version, "Sonic Adventure 2: Battle", just remove your Game Cube controller from it's port, plug one end of this "Cube Link Advanced" cable into it, and connect your GBA to the other end. You can then transfer Chaos from your Game Cube's "Sonic Adventure 2: Battle" game to your GBA.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Oh, I could do the same thing with the Dreamcast VMU. I transferred my Chao from my 'Sonic' game to my VMU, then took it for a 'walk' and played games with it." But, no! A Chao on a Dreamcast VMU doesn't come anywhere close to a Chao displayed in 32bit color on your GBA. And you'll be able to play REAL games with your Chao, like "Chao Karate" and "Chao Racing", just to name a few!

"Animal Forest" (Japanese-only at this time):
Even though I own a Japanese-import Game Cube, I have yet to get my hands on this game. Therefore, I can't tell you first-hand about what transfers to the GBA and it's gameplay thereafter. However, it looks like it'll be very similar to what I described above with the Chaos.

Another function of this "GBA-to-Game Cube" cable is that it will allow the use of a GBA as a Game Cube controller (with compatible games only). For instance, you'll be able to plan "secret" football plays on your GBA, then execute them in the Game Cube game so that your opponent won't be able to see them coming!
