GameBoy Player For Gamecube Reviewed

Posted by simoniker on from the try-playing-kirby-tilt-n-tumble-on-this dept.

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."

      Looks can be deceiving. Or CAN they?

    I went out of my way to get an indigo GameCube to match my indigo GBA (it was more difficult than it sounds), and the only color you're releasing is black?

    Seriously, I'm tempted to put my purchase of this on hold to see if they intend to release different colors in the future.
