Classic Game Room reviews the GAME BOY GAMECUBE adapter for Nintendo GameCube released in 2003 from Nintendo. It sits beneath the Nintendo GameCube and connects via a high speed port so that you can play original Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance videogames on your GameCube on a big screen television! Hear the audio in stereo clarity that you won’t get on the GBA or GameBoy handheld video game consoles. The Game Boy Player works with a software boot disc that is required for the system to work. This CGR video review of the Nintendo Game Boy Player for GameCube shows GameBoy gameplay played through the Game Boy Player (games shown are Mario Kart Super Circuit, F Zero and Super Mario Bros. Deluxe). Unlike the Super Game Boy for SNES, the Game Boy Player will play Game Boy Color and GBA videogame game paks.
I used to play “Metal Gear Solid” Gameboy Color on this thing!
shy guy beach
I love you. Lol.
This is like when the N64 had a gameboy adapter.
I played the shit out of Pokemon Red on my tv, I felt like such a badass.
ha yes i remenber this one,they hacked the boot disk to run gba roms directly before adapt vba on gc.
@ganzter21 Yes
this guy sounds like a fucking computer.
did i see an ATI sticker at 0:35?
@GamerCherri
Would’ve been cool but what about the touch screen.. Nintendo should definitely make a 3DS player for the Wii U though.
@meowskull
You can buy them off the gamestop website for $40
I used this all the time but I never knew about the eject button.
This is why gamecube owns wii
@Nicksolo85 the position triggers are more natural to the index finger, the stick is more natural to the thumb, so it’s more ergonomic and my fingers don’t have to move to much or be in slightly awkward potitions. zsnes is nice because it lets you use both the analog stick and the dpad at the same time for movement. in some games, like rpgs, i switch b and a to the xbox position, because they have a as confirm, and in some games which make large use of it, i map select to back, for easy access
@4LackOfaBetterNam3 Well, I don’t use the Analog Sticks to play SNES games.
I prefer using the 360 D-Pad which I’ll admit isn’t always the best.
I do it like this (X-Box 360 controls on the left – Super Nintendo controls on the right)
-Up = Up
-Down = Down
-Left = Left
-Right = Right
-A = B
-B = A
-X = Y
-Y = X
-LB = L
-RB = R
-Start = Start
-Back = Select
@Nicksolo85 i do that same thing, but a 360 controller isn’t the best for playing snes games, mainly because an analog stick doesn’t transfer 1:1 to a dpad, same thing goes for using the triggers for buttons, so I also have an emulator on my ps2(with all games included), and although i don’t like the dualshock, it works well for snes.
@4LackOfaBetterNam3 I have the ZSNES emulator (I use it for Super Nintendo games that I wanna play but don’t actually have the cartridges of) & I use an X-Box 360 controller for it.
It is far better than using a keyboard.
@Nicksolo85 or buy a snes usb controller at micro center and get an emulator.
damn i saw a gamecube with one of these attached to the bottom at a garage sale for 15 dollars. i should have bought it
This thing looks awesome I NEED IT
I know it’s been a while since you posted this video, but you forgot to acquire/hook up the “Nintendo GameCube–Game Boy Advance cable” which let’s you use a Game Boy Advance as if it were a controller for the GameCube.
Mark, where here do you buy all of your classic games from? they have better prices than anywhere in illinois.
I wish they made a DS player for Wii. :L
i dont get how in videos the gamecube lid just flops open but mine just slowly creaks wtf
I paid $25 and the game controls lag. It works but don’t play games like Mario that require instant feedback.
@CalleOcho0830 Nah I’m not an emulator kinda guy, I collect video games and the experience of playing them on the way intended too is how I like to play them.
