Game Boy Advance

Post Reply New Topic

Pokemon Crystal Version (I know, it's technically made for Game Boy Color, but it's one of my favorites in the series! It has a female lead, conspiracies, and Togepies! Or is it Togepii? Togepods? Togechicklets? )!

I bought a GameCube and Game Boy Player off eBay for £20. I seem to be buying a lot of Game Boy related stuff lately but I suppose it's not exactly hugely expensive. My AGS-101 and Lady Sia came today as well.

I'm more into the 8 bit Gameboy games since that's what I grew up with. Nothing like playing Mario Land II in 480p.

Nice going the Gameboy Player is 10x better than a handheld if you're playing the games at home.

GameBoy Player is cool, but trying to play GameBoy games with the GameCube controller is not

Hori made an SNES style pad specifically for it, but it's hard to get a hold of. I think you can plug in a GBA and control with that, but it's kind of a waste of battery.

I still have both of my GBA, I mainly use the SP one because of the light.

I don't have many GBA games, I so regret giving them to people. I have:

GBA

Fire Emblem

Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland

The URBZ Sims in the City

Mega Man White

For the GB I have

-Pokemon Crystal

-Heroes of Might and Magic

-Kirby Tilt and Tumble

-Hamtaro Ham Hams Unite!

-Serpent

-Mega Man III

-Ms. Pac Man

-Pokemon Blue

I want more GB/GBA games.

Yeah, I read about those. I can't even find one and even if I could it would probably cost a fortune. I've spent a lot of money on various Hori arcade sticks so the least they could do is send me one of those GameCube controllers for free . There are some of those Wii "classic" controllers on eBay that are advertised as working with the GameCube so they might be a good alternative?

I've been looking for a GameCube component cable as well (and hoping that the GameCube I bought even supports it) but they cost more than the console and almost all the people that are selling them are in Japan. I have a friend who is studying there at the moment so I might ask him if he can try and find one for me.

Depending on which ones you want, GBA games can vary from extremely cheap (I've bought a few for 1p) to pretty expensive (around £30 for some of the Final Fantasy games or WarioWare: Twisted!).

Or if you're looking for Pokemon Emerald, you'd save money buying basically any new game for the PS3 or 360. That thing is ex-pen-sive!

I can't speak for other countries but Pokémon Emerald isn't that expensive here; it sells for about £10. Anything cheaper is probably a counterfeit.

US GameStops have it at $40, which I guess is 20 GBP, but I've seen it go much higher on eBay.

Yep =(

They also make this: http://www.horistore.com/images/items/detail/HN6-07.jpg

I can never find one cheaper than $60 (plus shipping), but if it's as good an N64 controller as it looks...maybe some day I will just have to break down and get one Would probably be cheaper than continually replacing first party gamepads with bad sticks, anyway...



I haven't seen those. Do you have a link?

I've seen adapters for Wii that plug into the GameCube controller port, that let you hook up other controllers, and Classic Controllers, stuff like that. They're around $20, I wouldn't mind trying one out. Though I don't think the cords are very long, so I don't know how Classic Controller support would be very comfortable (but fortunately I have a GC extension cable that I've never ever used).



Really? I figured they would've gone down in price, now that most people can just play through the Wii.

Which I got to finally do last night Super Mario Sunshine and the Zelda games look pretty nice in 480p. I'm curious as to how Four Swords will look, what with all the zooming camera angles all the time, and the Link to the Past art with extra detail layers. And being 2D, it should look a bit nicer than the 3D games, since there won't (shouldn't?) be jaggies all over. But I went to check it out last night, and my case was empty.

Wow, I might have to get one of those, especially since they're so cheap.

It might be deception (Photoshop or something), but those look pretty nice for being third party. Checking around now to see if there's any reviews or info on them, but so far I can't find anything helpful.

There's always the possibility that the listings are misleading. They could mean that the controller works with GameCube games when being played on the Wii, but that would require some horrendously bad articulation on the seller's part, but then it is eBay. You were probably going to do this already but if you decide to get one make sure you ask the seller for confirmation that it actually works with the GameCube console.

If it supports it there should be a large plug on the back that says "Digital AV out" next to "Analog AV out" which is still used for audio. That was crazy how later Gamecube models had the component video plug removed.
