    Default What do you think of the GBA to GC connectivity?

    I personally think it was a nice idea, but it was hard for developers to find good ways to use it. The only game that used it well seems to be the Legend of Zelda: Four Sword Adventures. >_<

    So, what do you think of the GBA to GC connectivity?

    Just another innovation that didn't quite go over so well. Nintendo has a habit of doing that. But for every failed innovation, they'll have one that'll completely change the industry, so it's no biggy. At least they're trying something new.

    It was a good idea, and in some games it worked well. Its a shame it failed so poorly

    What games did they use for the GBA/GC connectivity? I know it was used for the following....

    FFCC
    Fire Emblem Path of Radiance
    Harvest Moon
    Mega Man X Command Mission
    Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
    Legend of Zelda Four Swords Adventure
    Metroid Prime

    ..but was it used for any other game?

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    I like how the poll doesn't have an option for a positive response. I liked it and thought it was used well.

    Woah. You do? Weird. If you can, add that option to the poll choices. >.>

    Connectivity was doomed from the start, because people viewed it as a superfluous mechanic that forced them to spend money.

    I don't think it was a bad idea, but it landed in a vicious cycle of indifference- people didn't like connectivity, so developers didn't use it, so people didn't like it... and so on.
