Not sure how many of you know about this, It attaches to your Gamecube so you can play any gameboy games out, ITs comes out this thursday and will be $49.99, OR if you havent gotten a GC yet, most finer reatilers wil be giving it away free with the purchase of a GC. Just thought I would share because I wanted a GBA, but for $50 I can just use my TV ;)
I think I wil be picking one up and reliving some old memories

Thats the silliest thing i've read in a while, what makes GBA games any different than console games? Because they were designed for a portable platform makes the games "portable" only? Mmmmmkay..Quote:

Anyway, yea im getting the GBPlayer this week along with Advance wars 2, been waiting for them for a while, my GBA has a lot of dust on it for that reason since i really didnt have any immediate reasons to buy a GBA SP and with GBPlayer coming, i knew i would play most of my GBA games on TV.
When does Advance Wars 2 come out???
The paper at work says June26 (thursday)Quote:

i didnt buy my gba so i could play games on my tv i want to be able to take the damn thing with me incase i get bored
Yes you bought your GBA platform to be portable with you, it doesnt mean that the games shouldnt be played on TV via GBPlayer.
The games are still games much like old and current consoles had.
Some of the games on the system are fantastic, and being able to play them on the TV is better than having to stare at that tiny screen.Quote:

Edit: *notices the whole European thing and backs away*
Edit again!: I didnt even know there was a European release date yet.
if you dont have a GC you can just use the GBA=>Component Video adapter that they sell on alot of sites... theyve had that around for a long time too and cheaper
Eh, they're only about $10-20 less, and involve taking the GBA apart.Quote:

I've seen the GBA TV output hack from a friend and when i compared it with his GBPlayer he imported from japan, the image quality is in a league of its own on GBPlayer.
Good solution for those without a gamecube though

Does that mean it's better or worse on the TV output hack?
Can a regular GBA hook up with a GC and play on a TV?
I was thinking about getting this GBPlayer thing, but a separate GBA has the advantage of portability and some games hook up with the GC... I don't think you'd be able to use both at the same time if you used the GBPlayer.
Klashe, worst for the TV hack.
Nope, sadly, it would of been a nice feature.Quote:

Right, because you have to put in a disc for the player. ITs 49 for it or 99 for a GBA, I guess if you thought you were going to use it on the road much then it might be a good idea ;)Quote:

Well I got mine today, I played the Warioware on it, its pretty swet :D . I dont have a GBA, and dont travel much unless driving to work school or elsewhere, so it being portable wont help much. I was wondering what it would look like on the big screen, but it was a lot more enjoyable and clear to see. The GC controller works well with it and there are a few extra options that are necessary, but make it more worth the 49.99
but we only got 5 in, sold out, and all the EB games in the area sold out as well, you might have to wait a while to get it.
The cool thing about the gameboy player is that it uses anti aliasing on the games so they don't look blocky when stretched out on the tv.
A lot of the games on the gba are better than super nintendo quality...so I think it would be phat playing the Castlevanias, Metroid, Advance Wars, etc on a tv.
Damn you all.
Dont you see that I now have to run to Best Buy and try to acquire this thing tomorrow!?!
Yea, im surprised how good the GC's analog stick works for AW2, havent tried other games but its a lot better than using the Dpad with AW2.
yeah, I knew of the stick's excellence when I played Metroid via the Prime - Fusion hookup deal :)
I got the thing today, maybe I'll finally finish these RPGs I have :D
