The GameCube Gets Advanced!!!
 November 19th, 2002 (12:00am) - This morning Nintendo announced the Game Boy Player an add-on that, when attached to the bottom of a GameCube console, enables gamers to play Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games on a television screen.
The peripheral opens up a library of some 1,400 handheld titles to GameCube owners, according to Nintendo.
The device enables these titles to be played through a GameCube controller on the big screen without the need of a GBA unit. However, using a Game Boy Advance cable, gamers can additionally connect a GBA and use it as a controller to play the software. The cable can likewise be utilized for multiplayer games and data trading so that, for instance, if one player doesn’t have a GBA but another does, they can still trade data back and forth between the handheld and the Game Boy Player. The GameCube unit will power the Game Boy Player, according to Nintendo. The device will be made available in four different colors in line with the current hues of GameCube in Japan. Those being Indigo, Jet, Spice, & Platinum.

Good only one more port to figure out what it does on the Cube... ~ditto~ Reported by Osei Tyson on November 19th, 2002 (12:00am)
