Has anyone used one of these that let’s you play GameBoy Advance games big screen via the Gamecube. It’s like a tray that attaches to the base of the cube and comes with a start-up disc. I was wondering if the games looked and sounded ok on screen and if it plays other GameBoy games like the original or the color ones? Thanks folks.

Yeah, I have the GB Player and the start-up disc. It’s actually pretty cool since you can play GB, GBC, and GBA games on it. There’s a lot of borders to pick from. The GB player is one of the few reasons why I still have a GC in the first place.

According to Mark at CGR, its a must have for your game cube. Ive never even seen a game cube myself though.. Am looking to get a super gameboy 2 for the snes though.

I wish I kept my Gamecube for this very reason!

…. at some of these responses. The GC is one of the best consoles I’ve ever owned and I would never get rid of it. Aside that it has the best version of Zelda: Twilight Princess (none of that horrible wafting the wiimote around) and the definitive Soul Calibur game it also has the excellent Zelda: Windwaker, an improved Zelda: Ocarina Of Time with Master Quest for true veterans and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door along with others such as Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2, Pikmin 1 & 2, Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil series (with good controls)… there is a lot of games that I can appreciate on the GC, the last true Nintendo gaming console made just for games.
Oh yeah, that GC/GBA device sounds awesome, thanks for the replies – kinda makes the Super GB obsolete then if it plays GB, GBC and GBA!

I only sold my Gamecube because I bought a Wii that plays GC games. At that time I wasn’t really interested in the Game Boy capability thingy. Now I’m sorta want to play the Zelda portable games. Oh well.

I’m looking for one right now, but it’s difficult to find one with the Startup disc.

I have mine still. Best reason to hang on to a GCN really.
The GBA is basically a portable SNES, so the Gameboy player is a great way to play games like FFVI Advance, Yoshi’s Island, etc. on your TV at a much lower price then the SNES cartridges.
GBA games have pretty crappy battery lives though.
Now playing: SNES - Phalanx, R-Type III, Genesis - Bio Hazard Battle, PS3 - Dragon's Crown

The Gamecube is the only Nintendo console I’ve never owned, excluding Virtual Boy. I play GCN games on my Wii. Also, I must agree with the notion that the GCN version is the superior version of Twilight Princess.
Currently looking for the following SNES games:
Chrono Trigger
EarthBound
Final Fantasy II (Final Fantasy IV)
Secret of Mana
Illusion of Gaia
Super Castlevania IV
Super Mario RPG
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
TMNT IV
Contra III
