Most of my GBC use is on long journeys...

The odd time when I have to work away from home... and am stuck in a hotel on the edge of the motorway....

And other times when this doesnt make quite as much sense...


However...

It would be quite nifty if, when the GBA was released, that you cuold play games via TV...

It would probably need an adapter plugged in... but would save me peering into the little screen when theres only crap on the Hotels Telly :)

(Maybe they'll stick this feature onto the GC... when you plug the GBA in, you can play games via its R/F out?

Theyve been discussing this on other forums...

And everybody seems to reckon that it will be universal...

Although no-one really knows until release?

Er...I don't really pray for that sort of thing, but I wish you all the best, and I do hope that your GBA is universal, the only reason it wouldn't be is because of the Gamecubes BUT the GBA isn't directly involved with the TV so there is a BIG chance that you'll be saved!!

The GBA lacks 2 analogue sticks.

I won't be using one as a GC controller.

I might play it on a big screen every now and then.

I might not even get one.

It looks too much like the PS2 of handheld gaming to me!

that would be brilliant if in a racer you were losing and the GBA screen typed up:

'take a left'

so u tooka left and overtook your opponent!

yes thats one of the features of the GC! U can play game on the TV and when you have NO game in then it acts as a control pad and the screen of the GBA tells you secrets and when playing multiplayer games it gives you hints and tells you about your mates healthand weakness etc...

cool
