Here are some things that you won't see on the PS2 or X-box. Some
reasons be happy that you own a Nintendo GameCube.


1. GAMEBOY ADVANCE TO GAMECUBE CONNECTIVITY -- The Nintendo Gameboy
Advance can be used as a controller or additional screen in some
Nintendo GameCube games. This feature helps you unlock hidden games,
quests and secret areas that might not be accessible without the
Gameboy Advance. So far the Gameboy Advance has been used to unlock
different areas usch as "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"
and "Animal Crossing". You also got to participate on some hidden
quests, games and a really interesting 2-player mode in "The Legend
of Zelda: The Wind Waker". Thre are lots of other games that will
feature the Gameboy Advance as an additional screen or controller
coming out. "Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles", "The Legend of
Zelda: The Four Swords" and "Pac-man" will be the first games to
fully utilize the Gameboy Advance as a GameCube controller. All of
those games are four player capable and each player will use the
Gameboy Advance screen to display their game status. EA Sports is
also working with Nintendo to bring the GBA-GC connectivity to
the "Madden" series as well to other sports games.

2. GAMECUBE TO ARCADE CONNECTIVITY -- "F-Zero GX" ( A futuristic
racing game ) will be the first console game able to transfer saved
data to the Arcade version of it. Apparently, you will be able to
transfer parts, cars and race tracks between the Arcade version and
the console version by using the GameCube's Memory Card. This is
really cool since it is probably the only way you can race your
friends because "F-Zero GX" does not look like it will support online
gaming but the Arcade version will link up the machines allowing
multi-player gaming. Let's hope there are more of these types of
games coming out.

3. EXCLUSIVE AND INNOVATIVE GAME TITLES -- One of the reason most
people own a Nintendo GameCube is that it has really great games that
won't be found on other consoles. Zelda, Mario, F-Zero, The Resident
Evil series, Project Number 03, Viewtiful Joe, Geist, Mario Kart,
Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Wario World, StarFox, Final Fantasy
Chronicles, Eternal Darkness, Killer 7, Lost Kingodms, Pokemon and
many other titles can only be played on the Nintendo GameCube.
Nintendo consoles have a history of bringing great exclusive
videogames that set the standard for the Gameing industry.

4. GAMEBOY PLAYER -- For an additional $40 or by buying the special
Nintendo bundle (GameCube that comes with Gameboy Player for the
normal retail price) you can play almost all the GameBoy games on
your Nintendo GameCube. This is a nice feature since those who
bought a Gameboy Advance instead of a Gameboy Advance SP found out
that the Gameboy Advance had a really dark screen. Now you can play
Gameboy Advance games and fully enjoy the graphics which look like
Super Nintendo graphics. Most best-selling Nintendo and Super
Nintendo games got upgraded for the GBA so you can now enjoy the
classics with new technologoy as well as play new Gameboy games.
There are over 1000 Gameboy Games available.

5. SURPRISES -- Nintendo has always had some hidden surprises in
store for gamers and let's just hope that they really have some
secret projects that will make you go "WOW! can a videogame really do
this?"
