Title: Interesting GBA find...
Post by: UncleBob on August 22, 2007, 06:39:09 PM
Take one Game Boy Advance (may substitute one Game Boy Advance SP).
Add one Nintendo-branded GBA Wireless Adapter.
Power on unit and boot to menu.
Insert one original Game Boy (may substitute Game Boy Color) Cartridge partway, just enough to toggle the GB/GBC-GBA switch inside the unit.

Watch the glorious effects.

It's not that interesting, so don't get your hopes up or anything...

And all what stuff?  A GBA, Wireless Adapter and any old Game Boy Game?  That's nutin'...

... so what exactly happens? I don't have a Wireless Adapter so I can't check, but I'm still curious to know the result.

Wait... what? I can't tell what was out of the ordinary there, to be honest.... the Legend of Faceball continues, though, it seems.

When you stick the game in, it selects the Japanese option, then displays (what I assume to be) an error message.  Remove it and stick it in again, and it selects the English option and displays an error message.  It doesn't do this with GBA games.

any true Nintendo nerd has at least two of all that!
Title: RE: Interesting GBA find...
Post by: UncleBob on August 29, 2007, 04:00:56 AM
2 GBAs, 1 GBASP, 1 Game Boy Player  (and one GBm, but that doesn't apply)
4 GBA wireless adapters (and one GBm wireless adapter, but again, that doesn't apply.
And I have no idea how many original GB/GBC games I've got...
Title: RE: Interesting GBA find...
Post by: that Baby guy on August 29, 2007, 05:17:41 PM
No, I still haven't found the adapter.  I'm just saying, now that I've seen it on youtube, I want to see it in real life, too.  Then I want to put it on youtube because it was AWESOME!

Well, it would appear that there are those who didn't know the GBA Wireless menu existed or what it's for.  I've created a video of that as well, just in case you're one of those people.

Umm... the only comment I deleted was one that was actually SPAM.

I'm seeing both of your comments on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKzXlZjWdFU

THEY ARE BACK!  In all honesty they were gone for a few days but after I posted that comment I rechecked the link and they were back :P.


P.s. off topic UncleBob is your brain training over because I want to play more .   Don't make me make my own thread in the funhouse ;    ;.

Are you sure you checked the right video?  There are two different Wireless GBA adapter videos...
Title: RE: Interesting GBA find...
Post by: that Baby guy on September 09, 2007, 02:51:39 PM
I did check the wrong video.  What games offer that function?  I never looked into the wireless adapter very much.  Is it just the NES series, or did I miss something?
Title: RE: Interesting GBA find...
Post by: UncleBob on September 09, 2007, 04:44:57 PM
I think it's only a few games in the NES Classics series.  Super Mario and Dr. Mario come to mind.  I think Ice Climber as well.
