Overall, it's great to see someone so young get into these games. It only plays GB games, but some games have special colours and other features that only work on the SGB. Also, some games on both GC and GBA unlock special features if you have both versions and link them.Īlso, if you ever get the opportunity, get a SNES and the Super Gameboy. If you can, I would recommend using a real GBA and the GC to GBA link cable, as its dpad is far better than the GC controller's one. I'd recommend the far superior GB Interface though. If you're using the GB Player disc and you see graphical glitches (such as flashing in Castlevania: Belmont's Revenge) try changing the display output from sharp to one of the other options (press the Z button to access options). The Gameboy Camera also technically works, but you'd have to put the Gamecube on its side to take pictures. Games like Kirby Tilt n' Tumble and Yoshi Topsy Turvy/Universal Gravitation require you to move the GBC/GBA itself to control the game, and while you can play these, you'll have to move the Gamecube itself to play them! There are a few games that support rumble on the GB Player with the GB Player disc though, such as Super Mario Advance 4. Games with rumble won't work due to the rumble being in the cartridge itself. You don't have to turn it off, but it's recommended. The only way a link cable lets you play a GBA game on a GCN, AFAIK, is through the use of Pokemon Box: Ruby & Sapphire, and then, that only works for Ruby and Sapphire. Before you do this, turn off your Game Boy Advance/GBA SP/Game Boy Player. The GBA->GCN LINK cable is used to LINK (who would have thought) GBA games with GCN games. Other then that, there are a few games that technically work, but are awkward to use properly on the GB Player due to it not being a handheld. Just follow these easy steps: Step One: Connect the Wireless Adapter. Even then, I believe that's just the GB Player disc, not the far superior GB Interface. The only ones I know of that outright it can't play are the GBA Video cartridges, due to the potential for piracy (because everyone wants to copy 240x160 video!). It's real GBA hardware so it should be able to play all GB, GBC and GBA games. I have the following Games, can someone tell me if all or a few of these work?īeauty and the Beast: A Board Game AdventureĪlso does anyone know of any other games that the GBP simply cannot play? My Gameboy Color seems to have unfortunately stopped working. I have a few of each of those, as a video game collector (even if my collection is so-so right now). Youd need a GBA-GC (DOL-011) link cable in order to trade with Pokemon FireRed, LeafGreen, Rubby, Sapphire, Emerald. Both that video and multiple other sources said that it can play ALMOST every GB, GBC, and GBA game. I recently learned from a video by Metal Jesus Rocks on YouTube about the Gameboy player attachment. I've wanted a gamecube for a while now and I'm absolutely in love with the Pokémon DX Gale of Darkness Version of the console with Shadow Lugia on the front, so my mom said she'd buy that and some Games for me for my birthday soon.
