Product Description: The Game Boy Player allows you to play Game Boy or Game Boy Advance games on a TV through the Nintendo GameCube--it attaches to the High Speed Port on the bottom of the GameCube and you can use the GameCube controller or any Game Boy Advance system as a controller. The GB Player can be connected to other Game Boy systems for multi-player games and is compatible with all regular Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance game paks, though it won't work with motion sensor or rumble feature game paks.
Manufacturer's Description: The Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Player attachment is set to blur the division of home and portable gaming even more! Now you can view your Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games through your Nintendo GameCube on your television. Featuring a thin platform that the Nintendo GameCube rests on top of, you can insert your favorite Game Boy games into the device, play them on your TV, and use the Nintendo GameCube controller, WaveBird wireless controller, or (via the Nintendo GameCube/Game Boy Advance Cable) your Game Boy Advance to control the action. The Game Boy Player also allows multiplayer gaming using the Game Boy Advance Link Cable. One player can watch the game on their television while the other enjoys the game on their Game Boy Advance. In some cases, a second copy of the game may be necessary for multiplayer game play.

I first saw one of these when my brother got one for his birthday. The Game Boy Player is a device, which connects to the bottom of the Nintendo Gamecube and allows you to play Game Boy, Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance games on you're Nintendo Gamecube. I thought this was a decent piece of machinery due to the fact that, it feels like you've got a second Game Boy Console, but it stays permanently with the Nintendo Gamecube, without getting lost like a normal Game Boy would.
To get this beauty running, all you have to do is connect the machine to you're Nintendo Gamecube (Make sure you have a couple of screwdrivers). Insert the Nintendo Gamecube Game Boy Player Disk, slot in a Game Boy Game of you're choice and the game is up ... Read More:

Typically installed in a few minutes, the GameBoy Player attaches to the underside of the GameCube, having the same footprint as the GameCube, itself. Included in the box is a black GBP, a boot-disc, two screws and an excessively-long manual.
Games, when displayed, are vibrant in colours and are bright. The controls are sensible, with L and R on the GameCube pad being assigned to L and R on the GBA, respectively. However, it must be said that the controls lack in response, with the joystick feeling unnatural for four-way movements. Nonetheless, the boons of large-screen GBA gaming, and the no longer requirement for batteries outweigh this flaw to a large extent.
Being a few pounds cheaper than at other online retailers, and ... Read More:

Tired of getting eyestrain from too many hours squinting at the GBA? Or perhaps the small screen size put you off getting one in the first place? Either way, the Game Boy Player is for you.
Set up is fast and simple (clear instructions included). The first time you play, you'll be surprised at how bright and clear the picture is (there is a little loss of resolution, but the picture quality is still very good), and play is much easier with a decent sized controller to hand. Almost all GBA, GBC and GB games can be played, massively opening up the range of games available to Gamecube owners. You can also link up with a GBA for 2 player action (follows the same procedure as linking 2 or more GBA's).
Of course, the downside is the ... Read More:

This is one of the best inventions on the planet. Being able to play your Game Boy Advance (or classic Game Boy) games through your Gamecube is great. No more squinting at your GBA's tiny screen, and no more constant worry of 'are my batteries gonna run out out?'.
The Game Boy Player sits nicely underneath your 'Cube and screws on to the bottom. Although the unit is black, it doesn't look out of place with a purple (or silver) console. It plugs into the serial port underneath, and once it's there, it can stay there. You get a start-up disc with it, which activates the Game Boy Player, which you boot up like a normal game.
The Game Boy Player features a few options, but they're tid-bits really. You can have a smaller or slightly ... Read More:
