It's time to get your import on. Nintendo puzzle collection and kurn squash have asome gba link support. I did reviews on it and if you need help I'm here for you ☺️
I do find it funny how many of my favorite content creators are telling me to shave my balls. AVGN / Cinemassacre and SomecallmeJohnny are some others! 😁
see, my friends used the tingle tuner to ruin my playthrough of Wind Waker by immediately spending all my rupees trying to troll me with Tingle bombs. That's why I don't talk about the Tingle Tuner.
My sister and I actually had a similar cable that was compatible with single pak and we had a gba and gba sp. Problem : We didn't know we had it. We probably missed good things 🙁
You can use Tiny Chao garden without a cartridge. This results in instead of sending your Chao to the garden normally, it creates a clone. With this, you can copy your CHao to other save files.
I mean it makes sense that a game wouldn’t let you play a demo of itself as most people would think “why would you need the demo for a game you already own?”
I was digging through my pile of old cables and other video game stuff for an eternety, looking for an old GBA-GBA link cable to complete the Pokedex, couldn't find it. What I did find very early in my search was the GBA-GCN cable. Only after giving up on my search did I even think about trying to use that cable, since it has two GBA ports. Of course it works. I spent so much time, was browsing ebay for a cable for an eternety, even bought one from a loval game store, only for that cable to be broken, gave up, and THEN did I realize how amazing the GCN cable is.
So, on the Gameboy Advanced potentially running out of Battery. During a Speedrun, Werster was on a WR pace run, when the GBA he was using for his controller ran out of batteries suddenly. This killed his record because he didn't know where his gamecube controllers were.
The bonus disc for Mario Kart Double Dash has some GBA link features also. I remember borrowing my friend's back in the day to get additional content for Fire Emblem. I forget what else it contained.
You know the Dreamcast was still very popular during the GameCube's lifespan right? The DC had it's own screens on the controllers as well, and they were pack-in. You could download mini games onto the VMUs!
My favorite game compatible with this cable is Harry Potter Quidditch...you need both versions of the game, but it lets the player on the GBA play as Seeker while the player on the GameCube controls the Chasers.
The reason why Luigi has a gameboy color was because the game was originally supposed to be for the n64 (their disk drive add on to be specific) but it got moved to the GameCube
I haven’t played that Rayman mini game but it reminds me a lot of Can’t Drive This (which is a pretty fun game, although it seems to have had some issues in the development process).
Talking about tone of my favorite peripherals again, I see! Yay!! You know, you guys should talk about Zone of the Enders! If not for all the ways Konami has slipped it into other games (Metal Gear, Bomberman, etc.), then you should at least talk about the inclusion of "Vic Viper" and "Zoradius" in Zone of the Enders: the 2nd Runner!
God I remember that demo disc! I think between me and my bestie we had every game on there. For that matter, Gamecube was probably the only system I ever got really into, but then again I was also 10 when it came out and I got it very early into it's life, and somehow managed to pick up used games cheaper than fuck
At the time i really wanted to see how it was with the games that we could play with the gba as the controller. Like zelda four swords and one pac man where, i think, we could play as the ghosts. Also: 1:55 this thing touched your balls
I had that Gamecube demo disk! God, I miss promo stuff like that. (Also I have no doubt it's the direct reason I mained Nightmare in Soul Calibur 2 once I got the full game.)
A year or so ago, after moving house, I got kinda worried I'd lost mine. I found it eventually thankfully, though my GCN has been on the fritz lately and tangentially, I still have no idea what happened to my Rogue Squadron 2 box .
I remember when i wanted to play Chrystal Chronicles with a few friends but we lacked one GBA so we got a second Gamecube with the Gameboyplayer and a second TV so we could use that as a GBA. It was pretty stupid but it worked lol
the logical conclusion of this was "The Gigaquad", a setup using a Wii, 4 Gamecubes, 4 Link Cables, two televisions, a monitor, and an array of capture cards that was used to record a Let's Play of Four Swords Adventure
The only true failure nintendo had was definitely the virtual boy. Even less succesful stuff like the gamecube and the wii U still served a purpose as building blocks for far more succesful systems.
@@tentaclesmodbut u could say the virtual boy was a setup for the 3ds. It was nintendos first system to use stereoscopic 3d. Honestly they make a lot of attempts for ideas before they become main features for their newer consoles.

When I clicked on this video, I actually wondered if you were going to cover Dakar 2. Since I was the racing guy as a kid, I hooked my friend up when he couldn't make it through the entire rally to unlock the GBA tracks. We would have time trials on the bus ride to school after loading the map to both of our systems... ah, the good old days
We each had one of the three consoles, you guessed right that I had the ps2, my buddy with the gamecube ended up getting Dakar 2 for Christmas from his grandpa and didn't have the heart to tell him he didn't like it. So, he invited me over and we made a weekend of completing the rally
that game was a lot of fun for me and a friend. We sometimes stopped properly doing the races and just tried to go anywhere and everywhere in certain maps. We didn't know what we were looking for, but we'd know when we found it. Mostly just screwing around.
So my favorite moment with link cables was a moment when we had four link cables but only three Gameboys so we used a second GameCube with its game boy player as a Gameboy for the Link cable our TV had the ability to display a second input in the corner in a small screen so we played Crystal Chronicles and four swords with this
"I never played Animal Crossing on the gamecube, I wonder how much it is to get now?" five seconds later "WHAT!" I'm guessing it was quite rare in the PAL regions.
In Europe it released quite late in the GameCube's lifecycle. IIRC they originally didn't think the sales would justify the cost of translating it to multiple European languages, by that time a lot of retailers had stopped stocking GameCube stuff so it wouldn't have been that widely available. Buying late GameCube games was HARD, I remember having a really tough time trying to get hold of a copy of Resident Evil 4 at release. Kinda funny now considering that game's on more platforms than Skyrim.
In the Australian release from Oct. 2003, some of the e-Reader feats still exist and that certain designs, music and NES games may have been cut down more.
Nintendo went a step further. They hid the patch on FireRed and LeafGreen. You only needed the button combination to access it, which is B+Select and then follow the instructions.
Your weird recording setup for this video reminds me of the horror stories of people attempting to record a Four Sword Adventures Let's Play... with 5 GameCubes, 4 Game Boy Players, and 5 TVs.
It is legitimately the only reason I bought PSO as a kid, and man, that game stuck with me. Still the only MMO I ever really cared about, real excited for PSO2 finally reaching us.
+ChandSlam I don't usually start quests until late game on whatever difficulty I'm playing... As far as I remember you can start any time and doing quests are helpful in general in that game as it can lead to some interesting weapons. I don't remember if its actual story progress or just quest progress that unlocks more quests though. I do know that some quests take place in areas you won't have unlocked yet if you're still in the very early game.
@@ArtisChronicles Not to mention, PSO has quest lines within those quests. If you go one route, you can't take the other, unless you do that on a different difficulty.
One of the main reasons for Wario's Woods not being available was its size, obviously as you said, but not necessarily only that. Wario's Woods was the most intensive use of the MMC3 ASIC memory mapper, and I can safely bet that chip was what made WW so hard to work with. The game is already 256k, and beside that you need to accurately emulate an MMU for an emulator, in 2001, on a GBA.
One of my favorite memories is actually playing crystal chronicles and Zelda four swords with my two other friends! The GBA link was such a weird and funky idea, and I LOVED it! Great video!
I got a buddy of mine who hated RPGs to somehow play FFCC with me. It was awesome, I wish there was more to that game thou. I always loved the idea of RPG couch co-op
You can also play Pokémon Sapphire or Ruby by connecting GBA with Pokemon Sapphire/Ruby with GBA-Gamecube Cable with Gamecube with Pokémon Box game. So you can play Pokémon game on tv screen without GB Player. Easiest way to get Pokémon Box was atleast in europe with Pokémon Colosseum Bundle that had Pokémon Colosseum with Pokémon Box bundled in same game case.
i know the playstation 2 has some similar connectivity features with the psp, maybe you could look into that? i'm not really sure whether or not it's even worth looking into but it could be an interesting change of pace from talking about mostly nintendo.
@@gilgamesh255 i think it might of been both. all i know is that you can unlock some stuff in daxter if you connect it up with jak x on the ps2 but i'm sure that there's probably more out there. i think the psp has some interesting features that not a lot of people talk about.
18:13 there are at least 37 of these 35 kiosk demo disc The Preview Disc you discussed A demo disc with some third party games P.S even though I don't get why and how it is supposed to work volumes 14-16 were compatible with the link cable with Pokemon ruby and sapphire so you can get a shiny zigzagoon and patch the berry glitch I say I don't know how it works cause it was a kiosk demo disc
I remember Mad Catz made a GBA GameCube link cable that had a place for you to plug a GBA SP charger into. That's the one I used; it let me get as much play time as I wanted without needing to worry about my battery dying.
Sort of related, but the WiiWare game "Maboshi's Arcade" had something kinda like this with the DS. Not only was it a crazy unique game in its own right, but you could download one of the three games at a time to your DS (3DS works too) to take with you on the go. You'll miss out on the interactivity the three games had onscreen, but it was still a pretty neat feature, nonetheless.
The GameCube version of SpongeBob SquarePants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman was originally also going to have a link cable feature that would work both with and without the GBA game of the same name. If you had the GBA game inserted when the link cable was connected to the GameCube, then you would have been able to play a 3D version of the special jellyfishing mini-game that ended up only making it to the handheld counterpart on your TV. If you had the link cable fully connected, but didn't have a copy of the handheld game inserted in the GBA, then you could have used your Game Boy Advance as a radar for when you went treasure hunting. Unfortunately, though, due to the very rough production cycle that the console version of ROTFD (which was also being developed for the Playstation 2) went through, the link cable feature was scrapped, though voice clips on how the functionality would have worked are still hiding in the GameCube version's disc files.
You can use the GBA player disc and link cables to run this bonus content from one system to another. This is amazing for the best link cable use, PAC Man VS, where the pac player can get a full TV screen!
The Tingle Tuner in wind waker actually means a lot to me. When me and my little brother were younger he struggled with playing the Wind Waker because he found it to hard to play. One day I received a copy of four swords on the gamecube that came bundled with the GBA Link Cable, from that day forward while I played Wind Waker my little brother would play with me using the Tingle Tuner and we would play together for hours on end like that, just wandering around and having a blast together. To this day this is still one of my favorite gaming memories and I would not trade it for anything.
I think it's also worth noting that the Tingle Tuner is an integral part of Wind Waker speedruns, as it's used for the zombie hover and some other crucial glitches On another note, I never owned a GBA link cable growing up (and neither did any of my friends for some reason), but I did have a GameCube GBA Link Cable, so we would trade pokemon by transferring them through Pokemon Colosseum; I remember that a single trade could take like 20 minutes since there were 3 or so transfers that had to be done lol
Man, I know it's an possibly expensive proposition, but I'd love to see a Punching Weight on the PC Engine Arcade Card. Feels like the exact type of stuff you guys are into on this show.
This channel feels so much different from others. In a good way. I KNOW I will learn something new, compared to other ‘information’ channels. Great work, keep it up.
Wait, you linked the GameCube gameboy link cable to a wii and a GameCube GBA player?!? You can do that? Does that mean you can you play TLZ four swords adventures with 5 game cubes?
Using the link cable with my GameBoy Player is actually how I used the Tingle Tuner in WindWaker while playing it on my Wii. I then connected the GameCube up to a portable DVD Player's video input (which was plugged in) since it was the easiest way I had to get 2 screens so I could actually see the GameCube output. I however do not have friends to play with so I would just use it as a nice mini map and to buy health when I started to get low in some areas.
i'm always happy to hear someone talk about Billy Hatcher! i grew up playing that game's multiplayer mode for HOURS with my friends, and when i got older i played the story mode. the camera is pretty rough but i actually love the controls. not many games like that anymore. awesome video!
I’ve always wanted to design a game that plays like FF: Crystal Chronicles or Zelda: Four Swords. The idea of multiple players exploring a world together with their own individual inventories, maps, etc. all locally sounds cool to me.
I mean, there's Dungeons & Dragons… Joking aside, this would indeed be a really neat concept. …I may do something with this if/when I git gud at game development.
The best add-ons for the Nintendo GameCube are the Game Boy Player and screen monitor add-ons. The screen monitor add-on makes your GameCube portable like the PS1 Slim with the PS1 Slim screen monitor add-on. And if you have the Game Boy Player add-on for the GameCube, then you don't need a Super Game Boy or a Super Game Boy 2 add-on for the Super Nintendo. The Game Boy Player is awesome because you can play your Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games on your GameCube's screen monitor add-on or on your TV via the GameCube. And one more thing: with the Game Boy Advance/GameCube link cable, you can use your GBA, GBA SP or GBA Micro as a controller.
4:00 oh man Derek do I got a Story for you! I would go to the Island with nothing but Fruit Drop it on the Island and then Leave and come back with more Fruit and then after I left I would Boss my only Villager to Eat the Fruit because they would leave nothing but Bells there and if I went back to the Island? The Bells would be there but they would Vary from 100 Bells - 30,000 Bells so I would Abuse this since I never had the Golden Statue in my Town
Damn. Four Swords was a game I so desperately wanted to play multiplayer but none of my friends owned GBAs and I only had one Gamecube link-cable. Playing it single player was alright, but I feel like I was missing a large portion of what made Four Swords unique.
I like your content, and I usually get comfy and grab a snack. So you can understand my disgust when you start talking about shaving your balls. I get it, get that coin, but leave it for last please. At least for manscaped.
I do remember the windwaker gba add-on. Played at my friends house and he let me have the gba. I naturally kept bombing him while he was sailing. He got mad, and I started using the timed bombs to be a little more inconspicuous. After a bit, he went in the town and you kept hearing bombs in the distance. Good times
I was half moved into my moms house and stuck there with nothing to do. So I actually resorted to paying gba games on my GameCube with a gba as a controller since I had no game cube controllers with me. Ever since then I've been extremely thankful for that feature
By the way in the Chao Garden theres two mini games in the top right, and you can unlock a third by eating the 100000 coin fruit, it took me dozens of hours as a kid since I only had sonic advances+sonic spinball
That GBA Nights music is my everything. I highly recommend looking up Pokecapn - the guy who did THE Sonic '06 Let's Play - because one of the last TH-cam LPs he did was of Four Swords Adventures. He and his buddies had the base game running on a Wii. They also had four GameCubes with Game Boy Players working as their GBAs. And they recorded ALL OF IT. I think they called it the HyperQuad.
I did not own a GBA Link cable til 2018, I was really late to that party. But, it was totally worth transferring all of my GBA Pokemon from Sapphire to Gale of Darkness. 12 Year old me still wishes he used that cable much earlier.

"in that bag next to my pube trimmer"
For once, blowing in cartridges might actually be necessary
Woah! I just noticed that the concept of GBA's "Animal Island" is very similar to the new Animal Crossing New Horizons for the Switch!
Yeppp
Your weird recording setup for this video reminds me of the horror stories of people attempting to record a Four Sword Adventures Let's Play... with 5 GameCubes, 4 Game Boy Players, and 5 TVs.
damn, that PSO to Sonic transfer is like Stop n Swap if it worked lol
It is legitimately the only reason I bought PSO as a kid, and man, that game stuck with me. Still the only MMO I ever really cared about, real excited for PSO2 finally reaching us.
+ChandSlam I don't usually start quests until late game on whatever difficulty I'm playing... As far as I remember you can start any time and doing quests are helpful in general in that game as it can lead to some interesting weapons. I don't remember if its actual story progress or just quest progress that unlocks more quests though. I do know that some quests take place in areas you won't have unlocked yet if you're still in the very early game.
@@ArtisChronicles Not to mention, PSO has quest lines within those quests. If you go one route, you can't take the other, unless you do that on a different difficulty.
One of the main reasons for Wario's Woods not being available was its size, obviously as you said, but not necessarily only that. Wario's Woods was the most intensive use of the MMC3 ASIC memory mapper, and I can safely bet that chip was what made WW so hard to work with. The game is already 256k, and beside that you need to accurately emulate an MMU for an emulator, in 2001, on a GBA.
I would love to see a PSO video one of these days. As well as the gamecube keyboard.
Well PSO2 is coming to the west next year... finally
I had my first experience with NES games on Animal Crossing through the GBA when I was 13.
One of my favorite memories is actually playing crystal chronicles and Zelda four swords with my two other friends! The GBA link was such a weird and funky idea, and I LOVED it! Great video!
I got a buddy of mine who hated RPGs to somehow play FFCC with me. It was awesome, I wish there was more to that game thou. I always loved the idea of RPG couch co-op
You can also play Pokémon Sapphire or Ruby by connecting GBA with Pokemon Sapphire/Ruby with GBA-Gamecube Cable with Gamecube with Pokémon Box game. So you can play Pokémon game on tv screen without GB Player. Easiest way to get Pokémon Box was atleast in europe with Pokémon Colosseum Bundle that had Pokémon Colosseum with Pokémon Box bundled in same game case.
I need to dig through my box of cables. I know I have one of those link cables.
i know the playstation 2 has some similar connectivity features with the psp, maybe you could look into that?
i'm not really sure whether or not it's even worth looking into but it could be an interesting change of pace from talking about mostly nintendo.
Are you sure you're not thinking the PS3?
@@gilgamesh255 i think it might of been both. all i know is that you can unlock some stuff in daxter if you connect it up with jak x on the ps2 but i'm sure that there's probably more out there. i think the psp has some interesting features that not a lot of people talk about.
10:15 I paused the video just to remember where I saw that reticle
IT'S FROM SAN ANDREAS
18:13 there are at least 37 of these
35 kiosk demo disc
The Preview Disc you discussed
A demo disc with some third party games
P.S even though I don't get why and how it is supposed to work volumes 14-16 were compatible with the link cable with Pokemon ruby and sapphire so you can get a shiny zigzagoon and patch the berry glitch I say I don't know how it works cause it was a kiosk demo disc
Nobody:
SSFF: 10 minute Video on a Cable
Also SSFF: 22 Minute video on the same cable
jk love your videos
This is why I subscribe to this channel. They're fantastic.
@@dmgice yeah ikr, also i recognise you. i used to watch you! lol
I remember Mad Catz made a GBA GameCube link cable that had a place for you to plug a GBA SP charger into. That's the one I used; it let me get as much play time as I wanted without needing to worry about my battery dying.
Sort of related, but the WiiWare game "Maboshi's Arcade" had something kinda like this with the DS. Not only was it a crazy unique game in its own right, but you could download one of the three games at a time to your DS (3DS works too) to take with you on the go. You'll miss out on the interactivity the three games had onscreen, but it was still a pretty neat feature, nonetheless.
The GameCube version of SpongeBob SquarePants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman was originally also going to have a link cable feature that would work both with and without the GBA game of the same name.
If you had the GBA game inserted when the link cable was connected to the GameCube, then you would have been able to play a 3D version of the special jellyfishing mini-game that ended up only making it to the handheld counterpart on your TV.
If you had the link cable fully connected, but didn't have a copy of the handheld game inserted in the GBA, then you could have used your Game Boy Advance as a radar for when you went treasure hunting.
Unfortunately, though, due to the very rough production cycle that the console version of ROTFD (which was also being developed for the Playstation 2) went through, the link cable feature was scrapped, though voice clips on how the functionality would have worked are still hiding in the GameCube version's disc files.
You can use the GBA player disc and link cables to run this bonus content from one system to another. This is amazing for the best link cable use, PAC Man VS, where the pac player can get a full TV screen!
I still have this game. So much fun…!
The Tingle Tuner in wind waker actually means a lot to me. When me and my little brother were younger he struggled with playing the Wind Waker because he found it to hard to play. One day I received a copy of four swords on the gamecube that came bundled with the GBA Link Cable, from that day forward while I played Wind Waker my little brother would play with me using the Tingle Tuner and we would play together for hours on end like that, just wandering around and having a blast together. To this day this is still one of my favorite gaming memories and I would not trade it for anything.
I think it's also worth noting that the Tingle Tuner is an integral part of Wind Waker speedruns, as it's used for the zombie hover and some other crucial glitches
On another note, I never owned a GBA link cable growing up (and neither did any of my friends for some reason), but I did have a GameCube GBA Link Cable, so we would trade pokemon by transferring them through Pokemon Colosseum; I remember that a single trade could take like 20 minutes since there were 3 or so transfers that had to be done lol
Damn, you cut me deep with that rayman 3 diss. Definitely one of my favorite games.
I know, right? That's like if someone told Derek they didn't like Resident Evil 4 after only trying it once.
Man, I know it's an possibly expensive proposition, but I'd love to see a Punching Weight on the PC Engine Arcade Card. Feels like the exact type of stuff you guys are into on this show.
This channel feels so much different from others. In a good way.
I KNOW I will learn something new, compared to other ‘information’ channels.
Great work, keep it up.
Wait, you linked the GameCube gameboy link cable to a wii and a GameCube GBA player?!? You can do that? Does that mean you can you play TLZ four swords adventures with 5 game cubes?
Play "Rock of Ages" for more Billy Hatcher like gameplay :)
Using the link cable with my GameBoy Player is actually how I used the Tingle Tuner in WindWaker while playing it on my Wii. I then connected the GameCube up to a portable DVD Player's video input (which was plugged in) since it was the easiest way I had to get 2 screens so I could actually see the GameCube output. I however do not have friends to play with so I would just use it as a nice mini map and to buy health when I started to get low in some areas.

When are we getting a 3DS Nintendo Wii U link cable? That's right, NEVER. That's why the GameCube is the best console ever.
*_EVER._*
I'm still waiting for a GBC-Virtualboy cable but I'm starting to think Nintendo doesn't support the Virtualboy anymore.
I will agree, the GCN is awesome, but the 3DS and Wii U CAN connect, as seen in Smash 4, but it was never really used that much.
i'm always happy to hear someone talk about Billy Hatcher! i grew up playing that game's multiplayer mode for HOURS with my friends, and when i got older i played the story mode. the camera is pretty rough but i actually love the controls. not many games like that anymore. awesome video!
SSFF: When was the last time you thought about this game?
Me, a Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing player: [laughs]
Evidence the WiiU was so underused in favor of safe games. Need to get some creative homebrew soon
I’ve always wanted to design a game that plays like FF: Crystal Chronicles or Zelda: Four Swords. The idea of multiple players exploring a world together with their own individual inventories, maps, etc. all locally sounds cool to me.
I mean, there's Dungeons & Dragons… Joking aside, this would indeed be a really neat concept. …I may do something with this if/when I git gud at game development.
The DK bongos were awesome. The Donkey Konga games were lowkey more Taiko games released outside Japan
The best add-ons for the Nintendo GameCube are the Game Boy Player and screen monitor add-ons. The screen monitor add-on makes your GameCube portable like the PS1 Slim with the PS1 Slim screen monitor add-on. And if you have the Game Boy Player add-on for the GameCube, then you don't need a Super Game Boy or a Super Game Boy 2 add-on for the Super Nintendo. The Game Boy Player is awesome because you can play your Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games on your GameCube's screen monitor add-on or on your TV via the GameCube. And one more thing: with the Game Boy Advance/GameCube link cable, you can use your GBA, GBA SP or GBA Micro as a controller.
4:00 oh man Derek do I got a Story for you! I would go to the Island with nothing but Fruit Drop it on the Island and then Leave and come back with more Fruit and then after I left I would Boss my only Villager to Eat the Fruit because they would leave nothing but Bells there and if I went back to the Island? The Bells would be there but they would Vary from 100 Bells - 30,000 Bells so I would Abuse this since I never had the Golden Statue in my Town
Damn. Four Swords was a game I so desperately wanted to play multiplayer but none of my friends owned GBAs and I only had one Gamecube link-cable. Playing it single player was alright, but I feel like I was missing a large portion of what made Four Swords unique.
If you can get a hold of it, the japanese exclusive Nintendo Puzzle Collection was also bundled with a link cable!
umd-recognition yeah from Yu-Gi-Oh tag Force
I like your content, and I usually get comfy and grab a snack. So you can understand my disgust when you start talking about shaving your balls. I get it, get that coin, but leave it for last please. At least for manscaped.
I do remember the windwaker gba add-on. Played at my friends house and he let me have the gba. I naturally kept bombing him while he was sailing. He got mad, and I started using the timed bombs to be a little more inconspicuous. After a bit, he went in the town and you kept hearing bombs in the distance. Good times
I was half moved into my moms house and stuck there with nothing to do. So I actually resorted to paying gba games on my GameCube with a gba as a controller since I had no game cube controllers with me. Ever since then I've been extremely thankful for that feature
By the way in the Chao Garden theres two mini games in the top right, and you can unlock a third by eating the 100000 coin fruit, it took me dozens of hours as a kid since I only had sonic advances+sonic spinball
Lmao, I think about Billy Hatcher at least twice a year. I loved that game
That GBA Nights music is my everything. I highly recommend looking up Pokecapn - the guy who did THE Sonic '06 Let's Play - because one of the last TH-cam LPs he did was of Four Swords Adventures. He and his buddies had the base game running on a Wii. They also had four GameCubes with Game Boy Players working as their GBAs. And they recorded ALL OF IT. I think they called it the HyperQuad.
hey im making a video full of useless tuff and i will fully ignore FFCC .... reupload asp sry i forgot that
I did not own a GBA Link cable til 2018, I was really late to that party.
But, it was totally worth transferring all of my GBA Pokemon from Sapphire to Gale of Darkness.
12 Year old me still wishes he used that cable much earlier.
