Please note that the power supply should always be unplugged or switched off at the wall when not in use. Though it looks like a toy and comes at a relatively low price, don't be fooled: Nintendo's GameCube is a powerful video game console that rightly deserves its place among the other next-generation game systems.
One look at the Nintendo GameCube hardware and you know it's different. The compact shape is not only practical--the unique design is symbolic of Nintendo's commitment to focus on creating the world's most original and innovative video games.
The GameCube is Nintendo's first video game console to access game data through a disc rather than a cartridge. Each disc holds an incredible 1.5 gigabytes of information, but has a diameter of only three inches. The disc drive and processor work together with awesome speed, which makes load times hardly noticeable.
The GameCube Controller provides the crucial connection between the player and the game. Two analog Control Sticks, a built-in rumble feature and flawless ergonomic design ensure that the Controller feels and plays perfectly.
On their own, Game Boy Advance and GameCube are each powerhouse game systems. Together, they make an awesome team. Using the GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable, the Game Boy Advance can be connected directly to the GameCube.
The features available will change depending on the game, from exchanging data or unlocking new game levels to allowing the Game Boy Advance to be used as a supplemental game screen or input device. Look carefully at game packaging to see which games are compatible with the cable.
