GC Animal Forest + / GBA to GC link cable

US$60/$19

 
  • Nintendo's precocious communication game migrates to the Gamecube and mimics the action found on the earlier N64 version. A new feature is the ability to send your virtual animal persona into a GBA by way of the link cable for some portable virtual living. Retro NES games also return with classics such as Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, and Balloon Fight.

GBA New Japanese Software Imports

 
  • Rockman EXE 2
    Hikari and his mighty Navi, Rockman EXE, trek the virtual world once more in this follow-up to last year's EXE1. Looking very similar to the original game, the color palette, graphical styling, and animation seem nearly identical and without revision. A larger variety of battle cards, chip sets for power ups and "style changes" make the trip in this new version. Price US$49
  • Shanghai Advance
    When you have a lot of time on your hands and near 20/20 vision, it might be the occasion for Shanghai. Squinting at the minute tiles despite the fairly high resolution screen of the GBA may take more out of you that most other exercises in portable gaming. US$43.
  • Super Mario Advance 2
    A true classic in every sense, the SFC game Super Mario World launched the domination of the Super Famicom and subsequently, the Super NES in the wonder years of the 16-bit video game market. Nintendo reprises all of the action, addiction, and unforgettable levels in this remarkable Gameboy Advance conversion. It's all here, packed into a tiny cartridge, playable when you're on the go. Price US$49
