Full respect to Ubi Soft, which is doing more than most presently to take full advantage of the myriad possibilities offered by linking GameCube and GBA together. Following a wealth of additional material for Rayman 3, the French company has now released details of its next link-up game, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.
By attaching GBA to GC, via the special link-up cable, Nintendo's handheld can be used as a radar and mini-map for protagonist Sam Fisher, helping him negotiate the painfully tough missions in the game. Furthermore, GBA can be used as a remote-control device for use with weapons, including the GameCube-exclusive sticky bomb.
But for Nintendo owners with access to both games, that's not all. Clock the GC version and this will enable you to unlock a further five brand new missions on GBA. Winner.
GBA and GC versions of Splinter Cell release in Europe on June 5.

Looks like developers are finally beginning to unlock the brilliance of that little cable. It's too bad though that I won't actually buy the GBA game, why would I want it if it's on my GC. Here's hoping you won't need the GBA game to unlock the GC's specials.

GC exclusive weapon huh?
Considering the downloadable missions are already in the GC version, and now this, I would say the GC version is the best.

Yes,
"THROW THE STICKY BOMB SAM!!"
"It's stuck to my hand!!"
"Oh dear..."

Dose that mean there is no radar in the GC version without a GBA?
I think that it will probably be a more detailed radar on the GBA.
Hmm......birthday present methinks.
Hmmm.......and driving stuff.

Damn, looks like I'll need to resort to the 50 quid a 1 and 25 quid a 2 for my Standard grades, that should get me about £350 quid.
YAY, when i first heard of the GBA and GC connectivity i was a bit unsure, what i saw planned ahead was it being used only by nintendo, which dont get me wrong, i love nintendo and what ever ideas they use for GBA to GC will be amazing.
But now other companies are getting invovled and the connectivity will be used more and more, even if it is just an extra radar or weapon, its something the other consoles wont have, and something im NOW very intrested in seeing the developments in the furture.

Radar? Pah, I completed the game on Hard and Normal without getting shot once on either attempt! I am a true Special Forces agent. I have ordered Broadband so it will be activated as of next Friday so I will be able to download the extra missions and weapons as promised :) Don't think I will pick up the GameCube version.
