Glad to hear you were able to unlock the minigame with ease, thanks for the shoutout my dude!

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.

Derek getting so genuinely enthused over the most obscure and/or trivial tidbits in games is why this is one of my favorite channels.

"No one fails better than nintendo" That's a good line. Great video, thanks.

The manscaped ads are my favorite bc of all the ways everyone tries to not say ""pubic hair" Great video!

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

*Didn’t You Know?* The tingle tuner was actually a great way to cheat on the flight control mini game

Came for Derek, stayed for the ball shaving ad... wait, no.

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

I love how you changed your channel from being an AVGN homage channel to its own, unique thing. Damn good content. Keep it up.

damn, that PSO to Sonic transfer is like Stop n Swap if it worked lol

"hey man where do you keep your games?" "in that bag next to my pube trimmer" For once, blowing in cartridges might actually be necessary

I am disappointed that the Wii and DS didn't have this level of interactivity. But you could look into the NDS and GBA interactivity!

That Rayman two-player mini game looks super creative. I want to try it!

One of the best GBA-GC connectivity features - maps in Splinter Cell Chaos Theory on the GBA screen

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.

Normal Brain: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles in Single Player Galaxy Brain: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles with four players all using GBAs Universe Brain: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles with four players all using GameBoy Players and their own separate TVs

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.

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 🙁

"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.

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!

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!

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'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 always wanted to shave my butt, nice to know you're right behind me on that.

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

My experience with vmu batteries is that they will travel back in time to die during the Roosevelt administration. The first one.

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.

A few Interactive Multi-Game Demo Discs had a download for the Berry Glitch patch for Gen 3.

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.

This man is the ONLY youtuber that seems so genuinely interested in what he’s talking about

Derek sounds especially excited in this one, and I love it. You can tell how passionate he is about this stuff!

That crooked lipped smile & extreme side-mouth talking (ex: 0:23) is golden. It's like your trademark.

I had my first experience with NES games on Animal Crossing through the GBA when I was 13.

Damn, you cut me deep with that rayman 3 diss. Definitely one of my favorite games.

I would love to see a PSO video one of these days. As well as the gamecube keyboard.

Can we get some Wii and Ds era stuff? Like Wii Speak, or Ds/Wii connectivity?

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.

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

Nobody: SSFF: 10 minute Video on a Cable Also SSFF: 22 Minute video on the same cable jk love your videos

Man.. I love Billy Hatcher so damn much. Any mention of it in any video is such a blessing, and I’m glad it was showcased here. I’m still hoping for a sequel knowing it’ll never happen, but it’s such a great game and IP that deserves better treatment.

I’m actually surprised this channel doesn’t have more viewers and subscribers this content is fuckin gold!

Punching Weight videos are so rewatchable. Entertaining, informative, funny, snappy editing. I would watch an hourlong SSFF about the DK bongos. Or memory cards. ...and then again every couple of months later.

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

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.

If you can get a hold of it, the japanese exclusive Nintendo Puzzle Collection was also bundled with a link cable!

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

SSFF: When was the last time you thought about this game? Me, a Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing player: [laughs]

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.

I need to dig through my box of cables. I know I have one of those link cables.

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 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.

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.

6:17 "Your year will come Luigi" And it'll be Nintendo's worst year in the century that they've been alive.

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’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.

There was a game called Amazing Island, you created monsters by drawing on skeletons that would compete in various minigames. The minigames themselves were just okay, but the real draw was the ability to create your own monsters. The game had GBA link support, and you could transfer your monsters into a Pokemon-style card game. You could even transfer the monsters to two GBAs and battle each other through a link cable!

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.

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 KZfaq 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.

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!

There's a video on youtube of four guys playing Four Swords Adventures with five TVs, five Gamecubes, and four link cables. Each GC has a GBA Player attached. If you search "legend of zelda four swords five tvs" it should be the first result. Really cool that those guys were able to put that together. It's worth seeing.

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 remember as a kid I would go to game stores asking "Do you have Animal Island?" or "Where can I buy animal Island." No one knew until oneday I was messing around with the gba link cable for Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. I left the GBA cable in and the GBA had no game inside and it was on for some reason. I walk to the docks and put my head in the pillow as a head and screamed a huge F bomb. I miss being a kid having, internet was so new too lol.

The DK bongos were awesome. The Donkey Konga games were lowkey more Taiko games released outside Japan

The rayman 3 driving minigame looked amazing and completely original. Never really seen a mode like that anywhere else.

When I would hang out with my best friend in middle school, we'd play four swords and other gba connected games using 1 gamecube connected to the "big" ~24inch crt with a regular gba and my gamecube/gba player setup with the little flip top attachable screen. Legitimately played Crystal Chronicles, 4 swords, Wind Waker Tingle Tuner, and even E-Reader games like this. We played hundreds of hours of Melee on that small fliptop attachable display, always on Hyrule Temple of course.

9:44 "Oh god if I don't get back on-track I might get addicted to this game all over again" Man I felt this comment in my soul. PSO is such a great game, and it's so easy to get sucked back in.

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 freaking loved the GBA Connectivity on the GameCube, my mom got me Sonic Advance because of this, after me playing weeks of the Tiny Chao Garden in SA2B without saving function. Also Wind Waker got even better with that thing connected to it, and not just those games but also Wario Ware Mega Games and The Sims Busting Out! Oh and don't forget the GBA works as complete functional controller for the GameBoy Player as well. Those were the days... yes... truely one of the many aspects that made me enjoy the GC and GBA so much.

Billy Hatcher's theme or first level song or whatever it is is permanently burned into my brain "OOOOOOOOH LAAA! LA LA LALA LA LA LALALALALA LA LA LALA LA!"

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.

Lmao, I think about Billy Hatcher at least twice a year. I loved that game

Honestly I would love to see someone like you do a video about Legend of the Dragoon for PS1. It's one of the most underrated games most people have never heard of

I remember using the link cable as my friend played windwaker...he was having fun and I sat there bored for days

10:15 I paused the video just to remember where I saw that reticle IT'S FROM SAN ANDREAS

You forgot another great one! Pacman VS. Players on the GameCube play as ghosts on the tv and the player on the GBA plays an arcade version of pacman but with the movements from the GameCube players! Very fun and challenging

Punching Weight is by far my favorite series!

I don't think of myself as a great collector or anything, but I've got the gamecube, GBA player, GBA, GCN-GBA cable, PSO2+, pacman vs and a lot of other awesome things for the system and man it is really fun, the only problem is that you need more people to have all the fun and when you are already an adult it gets hard to call friends and get together to play :C

I have very fond memories of manning the Tingle Tuner while my big brother played Wind Waker. Awesome video, I always loved the link cable. I feel like not enough people talked about Four Swords Adventures, and I definitely got my use out of the GBA chao garden. Also I am so fucked up right now. My original GBA SP's screen broke, but you could hear from the sound that the game still ran and all the inputs worked, but since it was "broken" my brother threw it across the street and into a concrete wall, causing it to REALLY break. If I had known I could use the GBA Player I could've still used it!!!!!!

The Gamecube is hands down one of my favorite consoles and I personally think it's one of the best to ever exist.

Luigi got a “not Game Boy Color” because that was the latest handheld from Nintendo until right before launch (GameCube, GBA, and Luigi’s Mansion all launched in 2001; earlier in Japan).

Man I spent a lot of time in the chao garden. A really deep complex side game that most people overlooked

4:33 I once kept my GBA SP turned on long enough so I could play NES Donkey Kong on the car ride to go see a movie after transferring it from Animal Crossing. I forget what movie it was, I just remember the games I played at the time.

For using a GBA as a controller, you could use a Non-SP GBA. Its AC Adapter would not be covered up by the Link Cable and I imagine it might feel better on your hands during long term playing.

I'm not sure exactly what the WarioWare demo download is in its entirety, but the WarioWorld GBA connectivity lets you download a handful of WarioWare minigames at a time. WarioWorld has 8... worlds and if you collect all the otherwise unnecessary 8 treasures in each world you unlock that world's respective minigame bundle. I'm not sure if this was done just to content to an otherwise very short (but very enjoyable nonetheless) title or simply to advertise, but I'm really glad it was since unlocking the content is the more enjoyable and rewarding aspect imo.

I have a FPS master controller that is everything this channel is about! Wish there were enough out there to be popular

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.

I LOVE your smile, man!

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

Hey! Nice shout out to @Nitro Rad!

Ultimate Four Swords Adventures Setup: Have a Nintendo Wii as the hub system that you insert the game disk. Connect it to a large flat screen TV with component cables. Connect 4 Gamecubes, each with Gameboy Player, to the Wii using GBA to GC Link Cables. Connect each Gamecube to a smaller TV of any kind with any cable, and use any compatible controllers you want. You now have Four Swords Adventures set up so that the main game screen is on the big TV, and whenever a player enters a cave or house, they will show up on one of the smaller TVs. Game on.

Here's another nifty thing: The GBA Player on the GameCube can have the GBA Link Cable connected to it to function as a GBA for all of these games. I once had two TVs with two GameCubes set up and had the Tingle Tuner displaying on one TV with Wind Waker being played on the other

Gamecube is my absolute favorite console. This isn’t nostalgia speaking either i was born a year after its release and had no idea my wii would work with them. I bought a cheap 3rd party game controller and my friend gave me CIB Pokémon colosseum and a gba to GC link cable and Pokémon ruby for my birthday because he never used them. Best birthday ever. I then started making a gamecube collection and recently bought animal crossing, windwaker, a wavebird, and an actual gamecube. Costed me a crazy amount of money and i don't regret it.

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!

In case anyone is wondering, the reason the Tails Chao is unaffected by the dark fruit is because it is technically a neutral Chao that is already evolved! Also they are immortal, whereas other Chao die or reincarnate after a certain amount of in game time.

Wow holy crap. I’m in your video lol for the GameCube online! Well that surprised me!

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.

Man I had really good times playing with my GameCube GBA Link cable with Pokemon back in the day. This is making me wanna play them again.

Actually, the Knuckles-, Tails- and Amy-Chao can't evolve. BUT, they are already full grown Chao and thus are also part of one of the three main Chao-breeds; Neutral, Hero and Dark. Tails is a Neutral Chao Knuckles is a Hero Chao Amy is a Dark Chao You can't see that somewhere, but in Sonic Adventure 2 only specific Chao breeds can take part of specific races and those three have that trait too.
