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. :)

It isn't analogue control. It's digital on an analogue stick. There's a difference, and it's quite a big one.

What's the point in it. If you want to play GBA games, play them on your GBA! If you're at home you may as well play on your Cube anyway. :S

has anyone actually improved their scores/times when playing GBA games on the Player ? I guess so, it must be hard not to when you have decent picture/size screen and controller. Iridion 2 springs to mind as being a game I could probably do 10 times better on, on the Player.

for that battery thing...it depends on how it connects to the gc..is is through one of the ports on the bottom or in the normal power socket on the back of the gc?
cos i'm guessing(but i dont hav a GBplayer so wots relly needed is for sum1 who has oen to answer) the GBplayer has the same underneith as the GC..the screws in same place..anti friction pads and other stuff..cos otherwise it could stop people playing it wherever they want...

but mu point is that is the player is the same dimensions as the bottom of the cube...the battery thing should work.


and about the picture being all blocky, etc....did you ever have a super gameboy for the snes? if you did...you know wot to expect..just in GBA graphics. if not..of course it will be more blocky...but since the GBA graphics are so good, it'll be roughly the same as playing a snes game...probably better
