Topic: just got the gba/gcn link cable

[AdvancedGamer]

ya so I just got the gba/gcn link cable... any good games that make use of this connection? I had the tingle tuner in Wind Waker but after I beat it I saved over my game so I guess I have to do it over. I also think the splinter cell connectivity features look good. Has anyone tried them? Also post any good gba/gcn connectivity games.

You can use it to unlock Metroid on Metroid Prime.

And don't forget Animal Crossing...

I have tried Splinter Cell and Wind Waker so far.  Splinter Cell was kind of tricky to use properly actually.  You have to coordinate your attack fairly well with your partner to use it effectively.  I would go into a hallway and ask my friend where the enemies were, and he would give the locations.  When using sticky bombs, I would fire one, then tell my partner when to detonate it.

In a coordinated effort, it worked quite well.

Partner? I assumed the player would control both the GBA and GCN controller? I guess it would work both ways, as long as your partner doesn't mind having to do small and unfun chores.

I found I couldn't see the dark ass screen very well and control the character at the same time.

I had fun playing with the GBA while my friend was playing though.  Not as much fun as bombing the hell out of him in Zelda, but it was cool.
