1 out of 5 stars A One-Sided Affair   November 10, 2005

I've only used this cable with Pokemon Colosseum but it's very picky with the direction in which it takes information. It's fine with sending information (such as the Berry Fix) to the GBA but refuses to take information from the GBA (such as Pokemon team data). This renders it practically useless. Very disappointing.


1 out of 5 stars Doesnt work with Pokemon   July 28, 2004

The only game I've used this with so far is Pokemon Colosseum/Pokemon Ruby and the game cut the connection and said 'link invalid', so a very dissapointing bit of kit.


1 out of 5 stars Does not work with animal crossing   July 2, 2004

Do not be fooled by the price, buy the official cable. I bought this thinking I would save a few pounds, only to find that it does not work with all the link compatible games. Sure it works with Metroid Prime and Zelda. However with animal crosing you cannot download information from your GBA after playing with it, makes it kinda pointless.

Don`t waste your money, but the nintendo cable which does work instead.


5 out of 5 stars Essential if you have a GBA and Zelda The Wind Waker   November 7, 2003

Simply put, you'd be a fool not to buy this cable if you own a GBA and Zelda The Wind Waker. A whole interactive hint and task/puzzle system is accessible through the GBA while playing on the GameCube.

For a lot of things in Zelda the GBA acts like a sort of GPS showing you map information and allowing you to locate specific areas that you need to navigate to.

The single more important advantage about this cable compared to the Nintendo one is that you can charge a GBA SP while linked to the GameCube. That's an even more important point than price, as ideally the GBA needs to be turned-on for the duration of the game.

The same is true of other upcoming titles such as Square-Enix's Crystal Chronicals, where in multiplayer mode you need a collection of GBA's continually connected to the GameCube.

The official cable from Nintendo has an unnecessary locking mechanism for the cable the width of the GBA (hence covers the charging connector).


4 out of 5 stars link cable   November 3, 2003

The only difference between this and all the other gamecube to gameboy advance link cables is the price. It s a few pounds cheaper than the offical one so it is better value to go for this one. These are used for downloading stuff from the gamecube onto the gba and uploading stuff to the gba.
