Well what have we here?
"Datel has been working on an alternative to Nintendo's Game Boy Player, which allows you to play Game Boy games on the GameCube.
Datel's "Advance Game Port" will be smaller and cheaper than Nintendo's, costing £29.99. It will fit into the memory card slot and allow Game Boy games to be plugged into that." - Cube Europe.
Also, this thing only plays GBA games, not GB/GBC ones.
Wouldn't touch anything made by Datel myself anyway, they make half-effort products.

GB player is very useful, if like me the lighting in your house means you can only see the GBA screen in the bathroom. And considering a Gamecube is now cheaper than a GBA-SP, it's a better investment.
If Datel's version of the GB player can be linked up to one another for multiplayer gaming (unlike two GBA players) then that would be an advantage.
Otherwise I won't be getting one.
But Datel make pretty good quality stuff, I would warn people away from stuff made by Blaze though. Have Blaze changed their name? If so could someone let me know what they've become so I can continue to avoid them?
*Remembers buying 3 8mb Blaze memory cards for N64 and them all dying VERY quickly indeed*

I am happy with my Datel Mega Memory 16x.
Now I never need another GC memory card ever. Although I already had 5.

I thought so :D
You're right, I've checked and it does. So that puts paid to whoever's dumb argument against the offical GB player.

Tis a quality game - been meaning to play Super Mario Land on me GameCube for a while now.
I also need to go back to Super Mario Land 3. Tis the best Wario game in the series!
