Experiences with Nintendo 64 to Gameboy SE adaptor

I second all the Gamecube and game recommendations. We love ours and can't wait for Pikmin 2 to come out at the end of August. I also have an N64 that we still use to play Mario Golf (beats the Gamecube version IMHO) and the early Mario Party games.

Well it sounds like Gamecube it is! (thanks toby\flat2 for the GBA-tv device. I knew something like that had to exist. If it's cheap enough I might want it just as a gadget for another tv) Thank you all for your answers! -Peter

And this is the sound of $150 of sadness! It shouldn't be.. if you want to save $150, keep using your Gameboy ;-) Alternatively, if you don't want to spend any money, get a Gameboy emulator for your PC, they work extremely well. Of course, if your PC isn't convenient, then Gamecube it is!

Couldn't you buy a Gamecube with a broken laser assembly and use that with the Gameboy adapter if that's all you're going to use it for? the gameboy player for the the gamecube comes with a gamecube disc that is needed to play games on the gameboy player. owning all three consoles. i think nintendo has giving me the best games for the best prices. and if you liked the n64 over the playstation i would advise the gamecube would be the best system suited to your tastes for you this round. you can get a used gamecube for $79 usually with a free game. and i picked up my gameboy player second hand off ebay for $18...

Couldn't you buy a Gamecube with a broken laser assembly and use that with the Gameboy adapter if that's all you're going to use it for? You could probably pick one of those up pretty cheap. Though I'm not sure what the gameboy adapter requires I doubt it has a disc. Find out before you spend money, anyway. That said, is there something you find better about gameboy games... or...?

You can 'mod' your GameCube, too... Search google for "psoload" and do the math. Note: It's not nearly as good or fun as it sounds (for GameCube hacks). The system itself is REALLY nice, though. Well built (I think...) well designed, etc, etc. Oh, and the controllers won't kill your wallet, too.

You can mod the xbox all over the place. I knew a guy who had a huge hard drive put in his xbox. He had downloaded every episode of the simpsons and they were all stored on his xbox, as were any other movie/game/mp3 they had downloaded. They had it networked with the other computers in the house. Better than a Tivo.

The gamecube is great(it's the only system I own), and does have a ton of great games, but I don't necessarily know if it's the best system available. I think a modded Xbox is a pretty sweet setup (although, there are only about 3 games for it that I want to play), and PS2 is simply AWESOME with it's backwards compatibility and huge library. For RPGs, there is no choice. Also, Metal Gear Solid is a freaking cool game. As is MGS2. They can get awfully talky and pretentious (the end of 2 in particular) but they are good games. And, both are available on the Gamecube.
