Link Cable for Game Boy Advance and Gamecube Reviews

• It makes a HUGE difference...

  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.
  
  

• Secrets revealed and more multiplayer.

  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.
  
  

• great model small enough for SP models of GBA

  
  By on 2004-11-30
  ok i own a older model from a company not really affiliated with nintendo, it works ok for the older GBAs, but i also own a GBA/SP model and it jams the sholder buttons. this model directly from nintendo is small enough to fit between the buttons on a SP model *great for Zelda:FSA *Four Swords Adventures* and still big enough to fit on the older models.
  
  

• amazon did not give enough info

  
  By A2YTYU6BOLSIX8 on 2007-01-09
  This is how amazon described this product...
  Product Features:
  - Exchange data between your GameCube and Game Boy Advance
  - Use your GBA as a supplemental controller
  - You can even unlock game secrets and new game levels!
  
  Well, Amazon failed to mention that the cable only works with certain gamecube games. We have 6 games, and none of them has the icon that the cable instructions says to look for. Of course, the package is now opened, so I can't even return it!
  
  Amazon should have included this important info about the cable's limitations.
  
  

• advance cable

  The Nintendo GC/GB Advance Cable adds some new features to some of its systems' most popular games. Although I do not own every game this item enhances, I do own a few.
  
  From what I have played (Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Harvest Moon, ect) this product has provided just a little more fun. Although it is not a gaming essential, die-hard Nintendo fans of both the portable and non-portable systems will definitely want to buy this item and explore new options provided by the cable.
  
  
  
  
• Another beaming review!
  By AQU5MTNJS867K on 2006-11-29
  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.
  
  
• Nice addition to Game Cube Games
  By ALS27EZ64R86C on 2007-03-14
  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!
  
  
• Great Gadget
  By A35ZFHE7WCKPE5 on 2007-05-13
  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.
  
  
• a suggestion

  if you plan on getting at least two of these i suggest you buy final fantasy crystal chronicles and then how ever many more of these you need because the game comes with a FREE gamecube/gba cable...and then the game rox anyways =) *obviously* only get this if you have a game boy advance (or the person your giving it to has 1 =D)

• Link Cable for GBA and Gamecube--Saves the Day!!!
  By A1RVYBKK815T80 on 2007-02-16
  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!
  
  
• Alot of fun for a little money.
  By A3IBSL8TJR9TQ9 on 2007-02-23
  My son received a Game Cube gaming system for Christmas so I decided to give him this accessory for his birthday so he could use his Game Boy to help with the games. You can unlock hidden levels and health and codes so this is a alot of fun. We recommend this for any one!

• Wasted Money
  By AAF69FXN9PPQ0 on 2007-02-01
  Not sure if something else is needed to make this link cable work, but instructions weren't very clear. We plugged link cable into Gamecube and Gameboy and nothing happened.
