Gameboy XL

Advantages: Great transition to TV
Disadvantages: Connectivity issues

...Nintendo have always loved launching accessories for their home console systems and the GameCube is no exception. They paved the way for light guns in Duck Hunt on the NES. They added an extra feel of the game you play with the rumble pack for the N64 and now they launch the Gameboy Player for the GameCube. The Gameboy Player lets you play your Gameboy games on a big screen TV. This isn?t the first time such a device has been launched but this is the only one that will work with a GameCube. Installing the Gameboy Player is a simple affair. It slots easily underneath your GameCube via the high-speed port and then it is just a matter of tightening the screws to hook it under properly.

Super GameBoy is Super!

Advantages: Gameboy games on the TV
Disadvantages: none

Gameboy SP

Advantages: Lots of fun
Disadvantages: Can get a big obsessive

...I was 17 in March, and I'm indesicive to say the least, so I always get completely random birthday presents to save the hassle of actually asking me! From my parents I got lots of lovely clothes and jewelery, driving lessons, quality digital camera and money. Friends got me an assortment of smellies and other girly stuff. My brother got me a battery charger and lastly, my boyfriend got me trainers. And a Gameboy Advance SP. A Gameboy might seem like a strange present to get a 17 year old female, but I'm hooked on champ manager and play gamecube almost obsessively, so it made sense in a way! The SP is the newest addition to an already huge selection of portable game consoles, many of which come from the same Nintendo family.
