With Nintendo's Transfer Pak, you can share information between Nintendo 64 and Game Boy titles that are specifically designed to take advantage of this feature, such as Mario Golf for the Nintendo 64 and Mario Golf for the Game Boy Color. Simply slide the Game Boy cartridge into a slot on top of the Transfer Pak, then plug the Transfer Pak into a controller slot of your Nintendo 64. Also, the Transfer Pak allows you to play certain Game Boy games on your Nintendo 64, so you can take advantage of the console's comfortable controllers and the big, bright picture of your home TV. The color and design of the Transfer Pak perfectly matches the original Nintendo 64 console.

This review is from: Nintendo 64 Transfer Pak (Video Game)

The transfer pak allows you to take data from a gameboy game and put it into a N64. Currently Mario Golf and Pokemon Stadium accept it. Perfect Dark will allow you to take your picture (with the gameboy camera in the transfer pak) and allow you to take your own features and put them on the character! Although pokemon stadium has one included, you really need two to do absolutely everything (trade faster, battle easier, not have to turn on and off the N64 to switch game paks for the gameboy tower.

3.0 out of 5 stars A real pain in the neck!, June 15, 2005

Alright, so if you want to succeed in Pokémon Stadium, or Pokémon Stadium 2, you'll really need to get a N64 Transfer Pack to transfer your Game Boy Pokémon into your Nintendo 64 game. Great, with this transfer pack you have everything you need to succeed, but look out, this little baby has a lot of flaws. For one thing, it is not very stable, a quick move of your controller could lose the connection and if you are in the middle of one of the big Pokémon Stadium battles, that could really make you angry.
It takes several tries to get your Pokémon game pack, your transfer pack and your controller to "synchronize," you may get the pop-up message "There was a problem with the transfer pack" message a lot of times before you finally get it correctly into place and even then, it might quit on you when you least expect it.
This item is very expensive and not very reliable, so you might want to think about getting it used, since it is unlikely that it has suffered any damage as it is pretty durable. Another problem is that very few Game Boy games are compatible with this, if you don't have a GB, then make sure the games you buy are compatible before spending the large ammount of money on them. If your life on Nintendo 64 and Game Boy revolves around Pokémon, then having two transfer packs would take away the need for a Game Boy, because in Pokémon Stadium, you can easily trade Pokémon using two transfer packs and two compatible Pokémon cartriges and you can simply play the game on Nintendo 64 without the need of a Gameboy, however, this advice is for Pokémon-only players only.

In conclusion, the transfer pack is pretty much required to beat Pokémon Stadium (One comes with that game), as well as Pokémon Stadium 2. If you have the sequel but not the original, then you'll probably find yourself in need of your trusted Game Boy Pokémon at some point.

This is great! With it, you can upload stuff from your Gameboy Color games to unlock new things in a compatible N64 game like Pokemon Stadium, Mario Golf, and upcoming Perfect Dark! If you have an N64 and a game compatible you have to get this!
