GameBoy Player on GameCube

 

GameBoy Player

Game Boy Player

 

Game Boy Advance emulation is for wimps.

Bright, crisp graphics ; Game Boy on your TV ; Compatible with all Game Boy games ; Built-in memory saves preferences ; Low price point

GC-GBA linking with the GBP requires two GameCubes ; Adds height to the GameCube ; Color selection for the U.S. is questionable ; Games with a tilt pack, rumble pack, etc. may not play well ; No custom button mapping ; Incompatible with the Panasonic Q

This peripheral does exactly what it promises and does it well. The Game Boy Player provides the best picture possible for Game Boy Advance games (even better than the GBA SP) and is perfect for current GBA owners. It's also recommended to gamers...

Ahh memories... Give me this instead if the DS anyday!

 

Ahh memories... Give me this instead if the DS anyday!

I think like any other impressional kid of the 90's, I was in love with my Gameboy from the moment I got it. This pocket version was to many, the best thing since sliced bread! It was (laughable now though...) pocket sized - meaning it was slimmer and...

An innovative accessory

 

An innovative accessory

Typically installed in a few minutes, the GameBoy Player attaches to the underside of the GameCube, having the same footprint as the GameCube, itself. Included in the box is a black GBP, a boot-disc, two screws and an excessively-long manual. Games,...

Easy to set up and fantastically useful

Tired of getting eyestrain from too many hours squinting at the GBA? Or perhaps the small screen size put you off getting one in the first place? Either way, the Game Boy Player is for you. Set up is fast and simple (clear instructions included). The...
