GameBoy Player For Gamecube Reviewed
Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to an IGN.com review of the GameBoy Player for Gamecube. As the article says, "The GameBoy Player is a GameCube peripheral that plugs into the bottom of the system, and enables gamers to play any one of the thousands of GameBoy, GameBoy Color, and GameBoy Advance games released over the past 14 years." As well as being bundled with the Gamecube hardware starting June 23rd, this peripheral will be available separately on the same date, and it's particularly cool that you can control games with "either the GameCube controllers, or a GameBoy Advance system plugged in using the GameCube GameBoy Advance link cable."
I hope this is an attempt at humor, and you are really not this ignorant.
its called tv out ... shesh if u dont have that just hack together an old vga cable to connect to a tv :)
Okay, shithead.
The point of the Game Boy Player is to play GB games on your "fucking" TV, "retard." The PC screen is not just as good as playing on a TV screen, "retard," because for most people their PC monitor is far smaller than their TV and isn't in their living room with their couch, where they'd probably rather be playing a video game. As opposed to sitting in front a "fucking" PC at a "fucking" desk using a "fucking" gamepad. Not everyone is a major nerd whose ass and eyes are already accustomed to being glued to a chair and a monitor.
Additionally, not everyone owns or wants to own a Game Boy Advance, and that's who we're talking about. But they would like to play some of the systems titles, genius. This is a great way for them to do so on their TV. I thought I established that with my "And if I'm one of those people who feels the need to play GBA games on a TV rather than a smaller, portable screen," statement.
Way to just hurl obscenities at me, you schmuck.
I didn't say trying a game before you buy it was a bad idea; it's certainly a great idea, no matter how you accomplish it. But by the same token, maybe you weren't an asshole and actually did research on a game before you dropped $50 on it, you wouldn't own a game that was "fucking terrible."
"Saying that emualtion was legal was NOT THE POINT."
Okay then, I'm going to do exactly what you should have done at the beginning of this convo and ask: "What exactly is your point then?"
"If you've already been to college, I truly feel sorry for you and you should ask for a refund,"
Uh yeah, ouch. Whatever. It's hard to take offense to a comment like that coming from somebody who isn't pursuing understanding, yet throws terms like moron around.
"Derp de derp."
