Game Forum / Nintendo / GameCube / February 2004Crystal Cron., GBA question
I would like to set up a multiplayer game. One will be on a GBA and the other on a normal controler. I can't seem to be able to select two party members. Do I need two GBAs? What am I doing wrong? Yep, each player needs a GBA for multiplayer. > I would like to set up a multiplayer game. One will be on a GBA and the > other on a normal controler.

Ok, am I missing some benefit to having the 2nd, 3rd, 4th players play with the GBA instead of a standard controller? Because as of right now it seems like a freaking stupid idea - I have two controllers, but no, I have to get a GBA connector cable to have my wife play CC with me.

The only time you can use a GC controller is for single player and FFCC pretty much sucks alone. Actually, if you want your wife to play you will need TWO GBA's Once you go multiplayer EVERYONE needs a GBA. > > Yep, each player needs a GBA for multiplayer. > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > it seems like a freaking stupid idea - I have two controllers, but no, I > have to get a GBA connector cable to have my wife play CC with me. Bah. you use the GBA as a start menu, map, etc...this way, when you want to do something RPG maintenance-ey, everyone else doesn't have to sit around waiting. see Champions of Norath.

Bah. Yep you need two and it's a pain in the a.s to play with them. I went ahead and tried it cuz we already had two GBAs and liked the game type. At first we were just gonna give up on it after we couldn't stand using the GBAs but the game is kind of cool so we may suffer through with the GBAs. I still think connectivity with GBAs is a bad idea if replacing controllers with GBAs, no matter what rationalization Nintendo uses. Nintendo is simply trying to force customers to buy more hardware...which wouldn't bother me too much if it was even close to being as comfortable to use as the regular controllers. As I have said before, playing a game at home using a portable device is just plain stupid....like browsing the Internet on a PDA. I agree with the hardware comment. I only bought the GCN when it was only $99.99 and got the Zelda Collector's Edition with it. The only problem is the GBA is the same price as the Gamecube. Maybe the GBA could use a little price drop too? > > > Yep, each player needs a GBA for multiplayer. > > > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > home using a portable device is just plain stupid....like browsing the > Internet on a PDA. No joke. I may get a used GBA non-sp. But I will hardly use it, and even still, its too expensive. So far I am happy playing CC single player. Multiplayer would be cool.

Probably cuz the storyline is a little weak. I usually just finish a dungeon or two a day. It's not like Zelda where there's a whole story to it, but it's good that it's different. > No joke.

My husband and I are having a lot of fun playing multiplayer but the GBA is killing me...arthritis in one hand makes using it painful so we only play one dungeon a day. I can use the regular controller for hours without too much trouble but the GBA kills me. We are one dungeon away from finishing year 2 so we are still near the beginning. I doubt we will buy any more games that require the use of the GBA as a controller. >My husband and I are having a lot of fun playing multiplayer but the GBA is >killing me...arthritis in one hand makes using it painful so we only play >one dungeon a day. There are GBA and GBA SP accessories that clip on the back that provide "wrap around handles" and make the entire unit more like a controller. Sometimes they have the added benefit of including a larger battery as well so your GBA / GBA SP can run longer. I've used one with the GBA SP with great results.

Sega Dreamcast would have solved that problem. VMU cards were great playing 2K football. Each player saw only their plays. Jerry > I would like to set up a multiplayer game.

You are gonna need two gba's for multiplayer. >I would like to set up a multiplayer game. One will be on a GBA and the >other on a normal controler.

I kind of wished there was a special GBA-SP to GC connector that also kept the GBASP charged. |
