From the pictures I've seen it looks like there's a cable you'll be able to buy which slots into the top of the GBA and into the controller port on the Gamecube.

It's not gonna work as a controller for all games but for some games with simpler controls it will.

Other games it will be used as an extra screen to help in multiplayer modes in games (I haven't heard anything about it being used the same way for single player)

The idea is, to use it like a map or something...

Play a football game with your normal controller in slot 1, and then make substitutions with the GBA in slot 2.

Think American Football games.

The different plays and formations you choose work a hell of a lot better if your opponent doesn't see what you're about to do come up on the screen.

So you can choose these using the GBA in private.


I'm sure that the main function of the GBA will be for data transfer from GBA games to GameCube games though.

GBA +GC What a killer combo. The best handheld ever succsesser, and a new super console from the kings of originality.

GBA as a controller? I thought you just traded info with GC with it.

You probably can. But it would probably be some kind of link up where you can play all your GBA games on the GC.

Bearing in mind the GB Advance can also play GB Color and mono games that must be well over 700 games to choose from to play through your Gamecube.
