Like many years ago on the SNES they made a product which allowed people to play their fav Gameboy games on the Super Nintendo, Now the idea coming back, and making a small surpise and just adding to the list of products you can use with the Gamecube such as the GC to GBA Link Cable etc...

The new Gamecube Game Boy Player will be attached at the bottom of the Gamecube and allows players to use Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games on the TV while using your Niffy Gamecube Pad but still can use their GBA for other stuff such as trading and mutiplayer. Also if one player doesn't have a GBA but another does, they can still trade data back and forth between the handheld and the Game Boy Player.

Other little details like that the Cube will power the Gameboy player instead of them damm Powered Clinder objects...(I dunno how to spell it :'(... )

And an other question, How much will all this cost?

5,000 Yen = $41 US Dollers. Which means I'm guessing under £40 :D

Yup, And Hope too :)

Ever think about the display?

I remember in the SNES they made it so the Gameboy had added colour to it on the TV, So what maybe happeneding on the GC one? maybe they could make it so it had much more colours so it makes a another point of buying it.

at argos, you can buy a mobile phone and get a GBA free, buy the phone, get the GBA, keep the GBA, sell the phone (unopened) total cost to you - probably about £20 unless you can get it refunded, but you might have to give back the GBA.

Well that won't do wonders for GBA sales then. One thing - what do you use as a controller?
