When it comes to the GC/GBA Cable. You wouldnt think that something this inexpensive could make a difference in the way you play video games. But it does it unlocks secrets of all kinds in Gamecube games, sometimes it gives you access to secret areas/maps/items and various other thing.

Depending on the game and what features it opens up. Plus it is cheap to get and once you've gotten this wonderful item. You will wonder why you didnt get it sooner. I know from my own experience.

What a great little toy this is. You can open up new unlockables as well as uncover new aspects of game-play with the advance cable which links the GameCube with the GameBoy Advance. Another benefit to this invention is multiplayer becomes more interesting with games like Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and Pacman Vs.
I definitely recommend this to anybody who loves to play Nintendo games and to all of you out there who have both a GameCube and GameBoy Advance. Don't miss out on the extras of linking-up.

I purchased this for use with the Gamecube game PokemonXD:Gale of Darkness so that my brothers could upload their pokemon from the Gameboy Advanced games. It worked wonderfully and neither I nor my brothers had any problems with it. In fact, my brothers requested me to buy another one so they can play against each other in other Gamecube games as well!

I am usually pretty tight giving a 5 star rating, but being a cable enthusiast I couldn't help myself. The ability to link your GBA to your Gamecube is extremely helpful when you go unlock secrets, get helpful hints, and play an assortment of minigames. There are many features in a wide variety of games that are otherwise unavailable without this cable. A few notables are: Legend of Zelda (The Windwaker) has tips and clues available through the GBA. Final Fantasy (Crystal Chronicles) allows for multiplayer through the GBA (think personalized menus and item selection) which really makes that game more fun. All in all if you have games for the cube that have a lot of minigames and features accessible through the GBA, it's probably a good idea to get the Link Cable.

Hello,It's me again!The [..]reviewer!

Anyhow,let's say you own Pokemon Colosseum or Pokemon XD:Gales of Darkness for your Nintendo Gamecube,and If you don't own two Gameboy Advances/Gameboy advance Sp's,than all you gotta do Is connect it to your GBA/GBA SP,and on the other and into your Gamecube,and your ready to transfer your Pokemon from one game to another!So if your a Pokemon gamer,than this is a must-buy!

I thought my children were yanking my chain when they said that this existed. Now they trade their pokemon from their gameboys unto their gamecube and so forth, making my life alot easier and no more yelling and complaining about needing 'stronger' pokemon to fight with!!

If you are into pokemon, this is a must have to trade pokemon from one system to the handheld and so forth.

It works great!

My son loves this gadget. He can play all the games for the advance on the tv and so everyone can watch and play too. Even my hubby loves it. The guys just play and have fun with it. If your child likes to trade pokemon, this is the product for them. I would recommend it. It's not a flimsy product. Since I bought this one through amazon.com, I recieved it a couple days later.

Pros:
-Available for PRIME shipping
-Amazon will have UPS come pick-up re-order so I don't have to drive to UPS again.

Cons:
-Amazon should allow a reviewer to give "zero" stars.
-Not "by Nintendo" as stated
-Cheap generic cable
-Ordered 1st cable and complained that it was generic cable and was told to re-order and ship back incorrect/generic cable (waste of MY time and gas)
-Reordered when told by online chat rep (exact quote) "It doesn't happen normally. You'll get the right product this time."
-Received the same cheap generic cable for 2nd order.
-Contacted Amazon and at first they tried to blame on seller, but I pointed out that it was fulfilled by Amazon, so Amazon should make sure that they are provided with quality goods to ship.
