    Is the limitation on online play within the Nintendo Gamecube Broadband Adapter? Or is that just a glorified network card that depends upon the game to use?

    As pigheaded as they can be about some things, I doubt they would do anything that stupid.

    Like going after the original Game Genie, a device that takes nothing away from games, but extends and expands them? Of course, that was years ago, Nintendo has probably learned their lessons. And on all those GBA mods they tried to C&D.
