"Gameboy player."

Anyone got it? How do you feel about it? Is the multiplayer up to the standards you thuoght it would be? Any tips on how to get the best out of it (put a game in obviously!)?

Just got one, and I want to know how well it has been received. :)

Yes, it has the same ports as a GBA, so GC becomes player 1 and then you need GBA's for players 2,3 & 4.

Look on nintendo-europe.com, I'm sure there are some pics on there.

I had time to try out a few games last night, GBA player is brilliant, you should improve scores/times first go. Iridion 2 (a fairly dark game) was 101 times better on the player. Best £25 I've spent recently.

The graphics look fine, don't look jagged at all even on a 32" screen.

Sorry say that differently... can't you just link more GBA's to the thing?

It does have one.
If you have 4 GBPs, 4 GCs, 4 TVs and 4 copies of a game (if required), then you can have a great (and expensive) multiplayer extravaganza.

Meh.

Finally bought a Gameboy Player yesterday, was only £30 in my local GAME, had £5 voucher from CVG so only cost £25 in the end.
Well worth the money in my opinion, GBA games can always be picked up cheaply somewhere so my GBA has had a resurgence of life after collecting dust for 6 months :)

Thanks Dr, quick service eh, take note SR please

I used the chapest delivery option (didn't bother with recorded because they guarantee all orders anyway). Had it inside a week of placing the order.
Though I'd take note of the time for delivery that they give, which is probably the top limit.

My local independant game retailer has.

Super Monkey Ball Jr. is much easier using the analogue stick. :-)

'poped'? As in you were greeted by gregorian chant music and anointed by kneeling men in big hats?
