Gaming Game Cube link

[Reflection]

Ok, I just bought a Game Cube last week. I'd like to know,
what does the Game Cube link do? Does it play your Game Cube games on your Game Boy Advance or does it play your Game Boy Advance carts on your Game Cube? I might purchase the Game Cube link this week.

Please don't consider this as 'spam', as I've recently bought the Game Cube and Game Boy Advance, therfore I don't know much about them.

As far as I know, only 3 games make use of the GC to GBA link right now: Sonic Advance/Sonic Adventure 2, the two Mickey Mouse games, and Animal Crossing.

I don't know much about the Sonic connection. I hear it works pretty much like a DC VMU, and you just take care of Chaos on your GBA. The Mickey connection is supposedly near useless.

The Animal Crossing connection is far more interesting though... You can use it with the E-Reader to get new items, design textures for use on signs, umbrellas, flags and shirts and go to a seperate little island when the GBA is plugged in.

Future games will be making use of it... Metroid (not sure how yet), Zelda (sof ar you can play as Tingle on the GBA and help out in dungeons), Donkey Kong Plus (design levels on the GC and play them on the GBA) and several others.

It doesn't do either of the things you think it does though heh.

[b]I've heard of a really cool connection on a new Kirby game thats coming out on both GBA and GC. When Kirby falls off the bottom of the screen on the GC and your GBA is linked, Kirby will appear on the GBA screen and you have to guide him back up so he can go 'back into' the GC.

I think that's pretty darn cool..[/b]

They replaced that with some game called Roll-a-Rama... I have NO idea why. Basically, it seems to be the exact same game except all the Kirby stuff is gone and the character is a normal ball instead.

It still seems like a cool concept though.

[color=indigo]Yeah, the GCN - GBA Link functions on the Sonic games pretty much just lets you take care of your Chaos on the GBA, so you take take them with you if you're going somewhere away from the GCN. I think you can also play a few extra mini-games, too.

But anyway, unless you've got a game that supports a link function, there's no point in getting it. That's the reason I haven't gotten one, though I am when the two Metroid games are released.[/color]
